Don't know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z

I still don't know what a boomerang is or was, but I guess I clicked the right button, so I didn't miss any of them.

A boomerang is a clip that plays and rewinds in a loop, like it's flying to the end of the clip and returning like a boomerang.

I don't even use Instagram myself, why do I know this

I know this because of my younger cousin, I had no idea how to post one but it seems like either of the bottom two buttons will work

As an elder millennial I also did not get that one.

I am a younger millennial, and I've literally never heard of a boomerang in this context in my life.

I think the point of that one is that millennials post to their friends, not to their stories.

I’ve never posted to instagram as a millennial. I think that by the time something that wasn’t Facebook came around we learned that posting photos of ourselves online maybe wasn’t smart

And then you have Gen Z who are doing [insert Elmo snorting coke meme]
