More & More Ads Sucking Up To Fragile Millennials.
Congratulations! Here's your Participation Trophy.
Programming Note: Back tomorrow with more of the best print ads of the 21st Century.
Please note, I am not calling Gen Y “fragile”.
But brands are, that’s for sure. Do you enjoy having your salads tossed, Millennials? I haven’t seen such ass-sucking since, well, the last porn video I watched five minutes ago (exaggeration: it was an hour ago).
Brands are stumbling all over themselves to call y’all rebels, seekers, trend setters, nonconformists, mavericks, unlimited, original, bold, “your own person”, empowered. These are all actual words from 2023 ads targeting your generation.
I see at least one of these unsubtle ads every fucking day. Below are three of the deepest recent ad tonguings.
