    Erm… You might be confusing millennials with Gen Z or something. I was 19 when annoying orange first showed up, and I’m on the younger end of millennials. Me and my friends found it pretty obnoxious.

      Lots of stuff back then that was obnoxious, Fred has got to be my number 1. That’s exactly as annoying as whatever is the fad now if not worse.

      Only minorly on that front. I’m right on the youngest end of the millenials, and I was 15 when it first surfaced. It took only a couple years for Cartoon Network to pick it up, so it definitely captured an audience, though it may have been a mix of zoomers and the latest millennials. But it certainly doesn’t detract from my point, and it can definitely be substituted for stuff like Homestar Runner or Salad Fingers.

      Depending on who you ask, millennial ends around 1996. Annoying orange came around in 2009, when that portion of the ‘generation’ would be 13 years old.

      I was 13 and I found it pretty obnoxious.
