- Today we’re tackling the ‘sad beige epidemic’ controversy: millennial moms raising their kids in a sad beige dystopian world for the aesthetics.
We’ll talk about the viral TikTok video of a mom spray painting “neutralizing” her kid’s toy Christmas tree and the social class discussion around ‘lifeless millennial minimalism.’
We’ll also dive into the backlash against millennial fashion, culture, and interior design choices… a forceful changing of the guard of who dictates good taste.

Fun video! Last-year Boomer (1964) here that painted all that funky furniture in the late 90's...I miss the old days of color, but would like to add to your analysis that neutrals are calming. We live in a world that is not calm now; everyone is on complete overload with information and consumer products, violence in the news, etc. Neutrals in our exterior spaces help calm down our interior psyches of frazzled nerves. (I also like that neutrals de-gender toys, so sick of bright pink "girl" toys I could scream.) And I totally agree, these sad beige babies will be some of the greatest maximalists the world has ever seen...can't wait to see what they do!!
Between you and me, I love painting furniture! The neutrals appeal to me too. If only we had multiple rooms in the house to experiment with, i.e. The Beige Room vs. The Pastel Candy Room. Yes 🤣 mark my words, those beige babies will be the ultimate maximalists! Thank you for watching! ❤️
OMG I was telling my husband how much I enjoyed painting 2nd hand furniture for my apts in the late 80s and early 90s!😂
There is *NOTHING* “calming” about millennial grey. It’s just a trend y’all love to follow like sheep 🐑 and you came up with a stupid justification for it.
I don't understand why your videos don't have more views, they're entertaining and clever
Thank you❤️ I'm on the slow and steady boat 😅
what a kind and nuanced examination! i dont mind minimalism but the beige being the color of choice is whats ugly to my personal tastes (rainbow loving milliannial here!). funny thing about the urge to declutter: marie kondo actually had a nervous breakdown as a child bc she had the same urge. then she had an epiphany ("from the god of cleaning") that it wasnt about getting rid of things: it was about deciding what to Keep. i feel like its easy to misunderstand her philosophy as being in an empty house but its really about just keeping the things you want to have in the future and being able to let things go.
that said her approach might not be for everyone! but her methods rly helped me, maximalist, keep my space under control so i had room for all my colorful clothes and bright knickknacks and enormous stationary collection. also her folding methods are bomb i can stay on top of laundry :D
I'm also a colorful minimalist, although I lean more toward green.
I’m a millennial and late millennial one year out of gen z and I want a mix of neutral and colour 😌
If your interior design choices ever gets roasted online and you want someone who will completely screw up the case, you know who to call😉
You killed me with “Tragadaeigh”😂
🤣
Beige is not calming, it's boring. As a millennial, I find calm in greens, light blue, and more recently Sakura pink. People think muted colors makes people calm no, it makes people depressed. I always believe in color psychology (as a psychology graduate). The more I see colors, the more it helps my mood. But I prefer wide leg pants and it's not a Gen Z thing because wide leg pants happened during late 90s-early 2000s and I have them.
Beige is not a bad color. Beige is basically white if you have a warm skin undertone. Your skin colour, skin undertone, hair color and eyecolour will determine what colors will look good on you and what will look bad on you.
For example if you are Johnny Depp, most blues and cold colors will look abismal on you, while darker warm colors such as green, brown, beige, camel, some yellows and oranges and darker warm reds will look good on you.
On the other hand people who look like Johnny Depp will look very very bad in white, black and in cold colors.
Long story short if you put the wrong colors on someone, cold/ warm, low/medium/high intensity that person will look sick and bad, but if you select the right one they will look amazing.
You can't just wear bright colors and be happy. Yes, sure they do in fact effect your mood and I noticed that in some african countries people were wery high intensity warm greens oranges reds etc and the streets look like a rainbow. I found these colors ugly, yet it made me feel happy. On the other hand you go to Norway, Sweeden or Finland and most people just wear black and they wonder why almost everyone is depressed.
Still, if people would wear the right color tone with the right intensity, then the end result would be much better than everyone wearing bright colors.
Amazing! Love the way this video was done! So fun!!
thank you!🥰 ❤️
Great video as always! Love your channel
thank you! 🥰
great video! love the nuanced view on the sad beige asthetic :D what really rubs me the wrong way, too, is how with all these uniform asthetics, we are also sold the idea of "timelessness". people are made to think that once they turn their whole living and being white/gray/beige they will finally have peace, and it will always look good. that this is just another trend that we will be sick of in a finite timeframe is getting swept under the fuzzy rugs! especially, as you said, visible in the change of generations.
Thank you! 🥰 Good point. It's the ultimate in interior design meets therapy (i.e. new decor new me).
I like the 90’s house and decor 😊 I will love to decorate one day my house like the good old days or classic, it’s cosy 💕
Stop the beige and white and gray, you are not in jail !
I like how you break it down, it seems like “ who to make your home expensive “
I like some said, &it did help me to be more free ..
Don’t try to be cool, Be you .
I live alone as woman and have no kids. I am to old for that now anyway. (51) I love my livingroom in brown, blue and grey. I get a headache by the thought alone to have ten different colors in a room, like red, green, purple and so on. When you have that: fine, have fun. But let me enjoy my livingroom with less (screaming) colors.
Gen X always gets forgotten. They are the true rebels against the boomer world We live in. They have much in common with The Zoomers.
Missed opportunity to look into history. Before vibrant colorful dyes were available. Kids did fine without bright colors. -also the angle that only wealthy people could have vibrant colors for a time. Opposite of today.
Agree with everything you stated in this eloquent video. HOWEVER, I see your books facing the wrong way. It is not smart, not practical nor pleasing to the eye. The book cover has two jobs, to let the reader know its content and to protect its pages. It looks, for the lack of better word, stupid as the beige nurseries and toys.
I have spray paint... don't make me neutralize these books
@@teresachaotic.corner hahahahahahahaha....
As a millennial myself I can confirm that we are no longer the vilified generation that is now Gen-Z
🤣
its almost like teenagers are always a disparaged demographic!
😂
🤣
I'm so glad I found this part of RUclips. I love how you take such a random topic and make it super entertaining ahah ✨
you never know where my chaotic brain will take you🥰
“Theresa got me a new pair of pants”😂 Well done🫡Well. Done.
As a Gen Xer, I’m so glad to almost never be a part of these ridiculous generation wars. Everyone does dumb stuff. Millennials just got called out for it because they grew up publicly showing the world all their questionable choices on the internet since they were teens. I thank god social media wasn’t a thing when I was a teen. Oh the cringe I’d have surely suffered. As an adult I still heavily edit myself because I’m weird as hell and forget to turn on my filter irl.
Only a Gen Xer or elder millennial would get that joke🫡
