Millennial Writing

A trend that we see in modern movies, video games, and other forms of pop culture that consists of ironic cringe lines, vague political statements that mean nothing, and tries to write the character to be just like the writer themselves. The origin of this style of writing comes from James Gunn and Joss Whedon’s style of writing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during the early 2010s, despite Gunn and Whedon both being Gen X.

Robert: Hey did you play that new Saints Row game? My God that dialogue was horrible.
Daniel: That’s Millennial Writing for you.
