It started with this video, which was randomly recommended to me:


I had a look at the right hand bar, and it was full of these videos. Mostly millennials explaining why they deliberately chose to live "boring lives".

Maybe "trend" isn't the right word, because the oldest videos I was able to find were from 2 years ago, but there is definitely an increase in such videos in the past year:













So why do so many millennials feel the need to announce the fact that they are living "boring lives". I watched some of these videos and it doesn't seem to me like these people are living lives that are all that boring or empty. They seem to still be working, or involved with some project or another that they seem to be very interested or invested in. That's not my idea of a "boring life".
