History Webcomic / Millennials

!! ''Millennials'' features several Tropes:

* LifeEmbellished: Life in a slice-of-life comic is never funny enough. So sometimes the author adds some extremely unlikely to happen events, like in the episode where Kim Jong Un is hit on his face by a hard avocado, dies, and get replaced by the avocado itself as a new leader of North Korea.

* SelfieFiend: What would it be a comic about millennials without a selfie or two (or two millions)?

* AuthorAvatar: When a comics author loves comics more than everything else he/her cannot resist to the temptation to make an appearance. Or two. Or basically being in the comics all the time. This is also the case of Millennias' author and her unwillingness to be their boyfriend, called simply 'bf'.
* BeatPanel: Silence is your friend when an awkward situation comes up. Like in [[http://www.kotopopi.com/live/ this]] example where the main character is giving a speech and her audience is giving her hell on Twitter, but refuse to do it on her face.

* Geek: An ultra-connected generation surrounded by technology calls for it. Video games, comics, superhero movies and such are just a few of the cultural references that the millennials aren't afraid to claim as their own.

* LazyBum: As "everybody" knows, millennials are lazy. And they love to tell themselves they are. The fact that they aren't ashamed of it makes them also lovable and relatable. Generation Xers where also lazy, it's just that they couldn't say it at loud.

* SelfDeprecation: Self-deprecation it's the easiest way to make the audience laugh without taking any risk. When a stand-up comedian or the avatar of a comic artist have fun of him/herself through self-deprecation the audience can choose if identifying with the sketch (this is when the 'relatable' happens) or take the distance and laugh at something different. Contemporary gag a day comics (done by millennials and read by millennials) often use this Trope to avoid the greatest danger of all: a conflict in the comment section.

The {{NostalgiaFilter}} is sometimes on, as the author herself is in between generations. When the gag is about something she identifies with, she shows up in her avatar form and the story takes the form of {{SliceOfLife}} comics.

* RidiculousProcrastinator: the official sport of gen.Y. It looks like young people made a decision that procrastinating is something you should be proud of. How to achieve this?
