Millennials: A Nostalgic Rap

Yo, listen up, let me take you back in time, To a generation that grew up just fine. We’re talkin’ ‘bout millennials, born to thrive, When the internet was young, and the world felt alive. Respect for elders was the golden rule, We learned life lessons outside of school. Played Red Rover, Sardines, jump rope too, Streetlights our curfew, skies always blue. Yahoo and MSN were the places to be, Rediff emails buzzing with curiosity. Relationships were real, no filters to fake, No “situationships,” just bonds we’d make. But now we’re grown, and the world’s upside down, Social media’s poison wears a digital crown. Friendships feel hollow, connections so thin, Scrolling through timelines but longing within. We try to forge bonds like we did before, But it’s tough when the real feels like folklore. Likes and shares can’t replace a warm hug, Or the joy of a friend who gives your heart a tug. So here’s to the past and the lessons we’ve learned, To real love and friendships we’ve yearned. Millennials rise, let’s reclaim what’s true, A world of connection that’s deeper than view.
