I have no idea what that term is, I have never heard of it until this post. Sounds like some counter-doomer trend on social media where folks are being ‘optimistic’ to contrast them from the endless glowering about how the world is awful. Which I could see older and established millennials gleefully participating in to distinguish themselves from the younger folks who are screeching about how broke and mentally ill they are 24/7, and well, like half of the millennials who do that too.

I have seen “millennial optimism” in part presented as a fashion trend or aesthetic.
