Millennials don’t listen to voice messages because it’s just a repackaged voice mail.

@HijabaDabbaDoo it’s different for us but I give my kids hell for it lmao

@SwampFlower wtf, why's that so funny😭 So pedantic.
Listen, we know your kind love your long thoughtful texts full of '...' and emoji strings. It's cute.
We just want the tea, served hot and fast, and frankly, we don't have the time to read your entire recap of brunch. Just send the audio, babe. Nobody's gonna get hurt, I promise

@HijabaDabbaDoo they have my number. THEY CAN CALL ME.

@SwampFlower oh bb, no. No. No..no.
Voice notes are non-commital. Who wants to sit there and have a full blown conversation? Even social media is anti social these days, come on now

@HijabaDabbaDoo you have to listen to it before you can send another message ever again the PRESSURE IS SO HIGH

what you mean non committal lmao

@SwampFlower you're gonna give me a aneurysm

Why are there so many rules? There's like one step
1) Speak and thou shall be heard

@HijabaDabbaDoo I’m so stressed out rn

@SwampFlower was the Bitmoji the final nail in the coffin? Was I spreading too much youth at once?

Do walkie talkies make you jump too? 🗣BOO

@HijabaDabbaDoo actually yes

@HijabaDabbaDoo and also because you’re canceling me

@SwampFlower you should try a therapist

@SwampFlower I bet you suffer from the millenial pause too

@HijabaDabbaDoo it’s too late for that bb

wtf is the millennial pause

@SwampFlower it's when millennials make a video of themselves, they pause for a few seconds before speaking. Just staring into the void, It's palpable to genZ and probably because the camera on older phones took a while to load up

@SwampFlower ask your kids about it, they probably know. Just don't start rocking back and forth if they reply with a voice note.i feel like this conversation was exposure therapy for you and you've come a long way

@HijabaDabbaDoo I don’t think I’ve ever took a video of myself

@SwampFlower girl what???? That actually gave me whiplash the way I moved my head back in shock

What do you mean? Why not?

@HijabaDabbaDoo I have never had a reason to 🤷🏽‍♀

@SwampFlower do it rn. For yourself. Live a little. Talk to Pammy like she's there, idk just do it

@HijabaDabbaDoo okay I HATE being on camera. I’ve been like interviewed before and it was awful. My family has to beg me to even take pictures. I’ve always been like that but especially in the last few years lol

I can’t imagine just doing it for fun??

@SwampFlower I'm not a huge fan myself but I was always known for taking videos of everyone. My friends would always expect me to have my camera out. That's why there's still a website out there that has videos I took during highschool. I both love and hate that because those videos are embarrassing but also they're nostalgic. It's good to have something to look back on.

Ooo what interview? Are you secretly famous?

I mostly take the dumb ones of myself for memories or for my own amusement tbh. I don't always post them. I would at one point, these days not as much.

@HijabaDabbaDoo hahaha I’m definitely not secretly famous. It was nbd other than causing me great mental distress lmao

My old ass just keeps a journal 😩

@SwampFlower journals are cool too.
I think because I grew up on social media with video content it felt normal for me and also because I've just enjoyed making dumb videos anyway. Idk why it makes me sad you haven't taken any😭

@HijabaDabbaDoo I think it’s probably true. I think the first “vlogger” I ever watched was Jenna Marbles and that was past my formative years lmao.

My kids do it all the time. I think it’s cute and I’d rather receive a video message from than a voice one lmao (don’t ask why, I honestly can’t telll you the difference)

My husband has taken some of me and so have the kids. The agreement is I never have to watch them and be sneaky about it so I don’t know lol. I get that they want those memories so compromise.
