Millennials Are Being Dragged by the ‘Mean Girls’ Reboot Trailer

The trailer for the Mean Girls movie has just dropped, and older fans are already peeved by the framing of the reboot.

"'Not your mother's Mean Girls' is such a specific burn since those of us who grew up with the OG are old enough to have teenagers," one Twitter user said. "Excuse me. I need to go fling myself off a cliff."

Several users clapped back at the trailer for calling them ancient...
