a moment when a person recording a video takes a second in the beginning before actually doing what they wanted
— did you see that? he looked dumb in the beginning waiting for his phone to start recording.
— yeah, he’s so old. Such a millennial pause lol.

when someone (specifically a millennial) starts recording, freezes for a second to make sure its recording, and then continue what they were doing. kinda like when your watching the news and it flips the camera to a news reporter overseas or something and they kind of just stand there for an awkward few seconds and then start talking.
*a video on tiktok*
"(few seconds of silence)...hey guys! so today we are going to (blah blah blah)"
*the comment section*
"lmfao not the millennial pause"

When recording a video, if the person has a short delay between the start of the recording and them beginning to talk, it is called a millennial pause.
