A viral meme is making the rounds on social media and mocking millennials who don't recognize any of the musicians on the packed 2025 Coachella lineup.
Fans were divided when the lineup was announced last Wednesday morning, with Travis Scott, Post Malone, Lady Gaga and Green Day all set to perform at the famous festival in Indio, California.
At the time of the announcement, music fans flocked to X (previously Twitter) to voice their complaints, with one person saying it was 'washed up artists as headliners' and another calling it a 'snoozefest.'
One person tweeted, 'I’ve reached the age where I know like six of these names.'
Now, the Facebook page Millennial Misery has shared a viral meme poking fun at the seemingly out of touch generation.
Commenters were up in arms when they barely recognized the names of any of the artists performing.
The meme proclaimed, 'Your real age is 70 minus the number of musicians you recognize playing at Coachella 2025.'
The social media page boasts 20,000 followers and its tagline reads: 'Nostalgia is a drug that I don’t mind abusing.'

Millennials, between ages 28 and 43, flocked to the comments to do the math and see how old they would be according to the funny formula.
'55 but I have to add a year for being so shook that TPain is so small,' one commenter said about the rapper, who was wildly popular in the mid-2000s for songs like Get Low.
'58... and I don't listen to half the ones I recognize, I've just actually heard of them,' another person admitted, which proved to be a popular answer.
However, even some Gen Z members didn't recognize the acts performing.
'So I'm actually 18, but apparently I'm 62,' a Facebook user said.
'60, and I'm literally the prime age for these things,' a shocked woman wrote.
Plenty of elder millennials got their own age, with one writing, 'I got 41. I'll be 41 in April. I'm fine with this.'
Some people were just disappointed with the lineup in general, with one saying, 'This would mean something if any of those acts were good.'

However, plenty of millennials appreciated the musicians playing at the festival, which is taking place from April 11 through April 13 and the weekend of April 18 through 20.
Many were particularly excited that Lady Gaga was returning after she previously headlined both weekends in 2017.
Others couldn't wait to see nostalgic alternative acts like Misfits, Jimmy Eat World, and Green Day.
Some were overjoyed that children's performers Yo Gabba Gabba was going to be there, and joked that they needed to be in the pit for that performance.
On X, one person tweeted, 'This Coachella lineup is for millennial punks/emos.'
Another joked, 'Coachella is so millennial coded. That aarp sponsorship is locked and loaded for 2035.'
