millennial pause

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.

millennial pause

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"

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.

After looking back at the video, she noticed the millennial pause.

Millennialpause

Based on "menopause"; the point at which a person stops keeping up with popular slang/humor among the youth and sticks with what they last knew was popular forever

She went into millennialpause ten years ago and now she's telling me about how her "doggo" had a litter of "puppers"

From "menopause"; the point at which a person stops keeping up with popular slang/humor among the youth and sticks with what they last knew was popular forever, rapidly making them cringey.
