God, it's brutal out here — especially if you're a millennial who loves Olivia Rodrigo.
The 18-year-old singer and actor released her debut album, SOUR, on Friday, and as a 28-year-old millennial I must say, it freakin' rules.
Throughout the album Rodrigo sings stories about getting her driver's license, being over life as a teen, and dealing with young love and heartbreak. Her words and experiences may speak directly to her fellow members of Gen Z, but her lyrics shot a whole bunch of millennials through the heart, too.
Millennials may not be teens anymore but we can still relate to Rodrigo's songs. We have insecurities, we get our egos crushed, we're tired as hell, we think about quitting our jobs and starting new lives, and some of us definitely still don't know how to parallel park.
Rodrigo's larger themes of heartbreak and betrayal are super universal, but even if they weren't, you're allowed to like good music at any age! Rodrigo notes her love of Billy Joel in her single "deja vu" and you don't see millennials mocking her for liking Mr. Joel just because she's from different generation than him.
The point is, while Olivia Rodrigo may be Gen Z's new musical sensation, people of all ages can drive to, rage-scream, and cry to her songs. We're all emotional, just like the old bros in that "driver's license" SNL sketch.
If you are a millennial Rodrigo stan, however, you WILL have to endure some memes at your expense. You, like me, will see yourselves in the following tweets and that's OK. Just put "enough for you" on repeat and let it all out.
