Gen Z have long insisted that there are ways to spot a millennial based on their clothing choices, how they text and now – according to a new viral video, the way they pose in photos.

While some Y2K styles may have made a comeback in recent years, Gen Z spares no mercy in making fun of millennial-loved trends that that feel are now out.

First it was the skinny jeansthen it was the side partings and now it seems Gen Z have found yet another reason to roll their eyes in ridicule at millennials – their pout.

Back in the 2000s and 2010s, the photo pose had everyone in a chokehold – no post was complete without its presence, mostly equipped with a lingering peace sign.

Coined by the likes of Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Ariana Grande and Blake Livelyit was indeed the zeitgeist of the 2000s, part of a lineage of facial trends that are timestamps for generations gone by.

Now, the humble pout or what some call the ‘millennial smile’ – a slightly duckish, lips thrust forward, wide-eyed precisely calibrated pose immortalized in 2010 selfies across Instagram and Facebook – has been officially ‘canceled’ according to a new video.

‘Millennials, gather around, because I just found out that we are being (made) fun of for something called the “millennial smile,”‘ Jasmine, a lifestyle influencer, from Texas, announced to her Instagram platform of over 555,000 viewers.

Jasmine shared the sad news for millennials: the reluctancy to bare a toothy grin has been condoned as antiquated and ‘uncool’ by the younger generation.

‘I know I’ve done (it) before,’ admitted Jasmine of the faux pas. ‘Damn, the Gen Zs are really clocking me.’

Jasmine’s declaration went viral and sparked a debate between viewers.

‘They hate us ’cause they ain’t us,’ joked one offended millennial.

‘I’d rather have the millennial smile instead of the Gen Z stare,’ quipped a separate social media user.

This refers to the rise of a pose adopted by Gen Z – an open mouthed deadpan stare and in lieu of the peace sign, a casual lean.

The pose, adopted by celebs such as Lily Rose Depp, aims to achieve the aesthetic some label ‘Bratty IT Girl’ with an ennui arising from the look screaming both nonchalance and effortlessness.

‘We are smizing like Tyra Banks told us to lol,’ another argued, crediting the veteran supermodel as founding the pose.

Banks famously instructed millennials how to smile with only their eyes on her 2000s reality series America’s Next Top Model.

Another miffed user wrote: ‘Is there anything we can do in peace? These kids clocking us for things we did before they were even born.’

It comes months after a report from the Wall Street Journal declared that leggings are officially ‘dead.’

The fashion staple, which has been worn for years everywhere from the gym to the grocery store, has now been replaced by loose-fitting sweatpants.

A report titled ‘The Death of Leggings’ by retail analyst group EDITED revealed that sales of leggings made up almost 47 percent of all athleisure bottoms in 2022.

This year, however, that number plunged to 38.7 percent, marking a significant decline.

Growth has also slowed for Lululemon, whose famous yoga pants earned the company billions – and were even featured in The Museum of Modern Art’s 2017 exhibition of the most influential fashion items.

With leggings supposedly out, the new trend, according to Gen Z, is to wear baggy workout pants with a tight top.

In some cases, a baggy T-shirt is also paired with the loose pants for a totally oversized look, à la Billie Eilish.

However, as trends change and Gen Zs throne is naturally usurped by the upcoming youth dictators of fashion – Gen Alpha – Gen Z will soon receive their own comeuppance.
