Admit it, You Are The Main Character
Dear Millennial,
While The Haters will say it’s our millennial entitlement that has us thinking we’re “all that”, there are at least 10 reasons we should admit and start owning our Main Character Energy.
If you’re reading this, you probably already know what a millennial is. Here is a definition, anyways: “Millennials, also known as Generation Y, are typically defined as individuals born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s to early 2000s, depending on the source. The exact date range may vary, but millennials are generally considered to be in our late 20s to late 30s in the 2020s”(LiveScience).
Millennials grew up during the rapid rise of technology and the internet. We are often referred to as the first truly digital-native generation, having been exposed to computers, smartphones, and the internet from a young age but having experienced life before the internet. This has influenced our communication styles, consumption habits, and preferences for digital tools.
The concept of “main character energy” has emerged as a cultural phenomenon in recent years, particularly on social media. It gained popularity as a term used to describe a state of self-confidence, self-assuredness, and self-expression associated with feeling like the protagonist or central figure in one’s own life.
