Details

A t-shirt designed for the person who perfectly balances ironic self-deprecation with undeniable style. The perfect gift for a millennial, this shirt captures the true Generation Y spirit. The modern world has maddened us. Nothing makes sense anymore. Screw conformity, we all know where that gets us. More of a statement than a question, it's the best attitude to cope in life. For example, buy the shirt? F*** it, why not!

Wear this witty nod to the absurdity of adult life, the crippling expectations of hustle culture, and the necessity of finding humour in everything from dopamine drainage to sudden bursts of social anxiety. This shirt gets it. It doesn't get you though, that's impossible.

FAQ

What fabric are these T‑shirts made from?
Our tees are crafted with 100% Airlume combed and ring‑spun cotton — soft, breathable, and lightweight (4.2 oz/yd²). Some colors use blends (like Heather or Athletic Heather) for extra durability and texture, but cotton is always the star.

How does the sizing run?
These are retail‑fit, unisex shirts designed to flatter all bodies. They run true to size, with a casual cut that works for both men and women. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up. Please refer to the size guide drop-down for exact measurements.
Do you have any bigger/plus sizes?
Yes! We can provide larger sizes, up to 5XL, upon request. Just reach out before ordering and we’ll make sure you get the fit you need.

Is the shirt pre‑shrunk?

Yes — the fabric is pre‑shrunk during production, so you won’t get any surprise shrinkage after the first wash. Just follow the care instructions to keep it looking fresh.

How should I wash and care for my shirt?
Wash cold, tumble dry low, and avoid bleach. This keeps both the fabric and the print in great condition. Treat it kindly, and it’ll stay soft and vibrant for a long time.

Will the print fade or crack?
We use high‑quality direct‑to‑garment (DTG) printing. With proper care, the design will stay crisp and colorful without cracking or peeling.

Where are the shirts made?
Bella+Canvas manufactures in the US and internationally under certified humane, no‑sweatshop conditions. They’re Platinum WRAP certified and part of the Fair Labor Association, so you can wear your shirt with a clear conscience.

What makes these shirts different from others?
Beyond the quality fabric and ethical production, each design carries a little wisdom, humor, or reminder — turning everyday wear into something more mindful and meaningful.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Most orders are produced within 2–5 business days and ship shortly after. Delivery times vary by location, but you’ll get tracking as soon as it’s on the way.
Do you offer returns or exchanges?
Because each item is made just for you, we don’t offer returns for change of mind. But if your order arrives damaged or incorrect, we’ll make it right—just reach out.

This shirt isn't just a pun; it’s a Millennial manifesto. Generation Y, often labeled the "trophy generation," is the one that learned to straddle two worlds, growing up with one foot in the analog era of VHS and landlines, and the other in the brave, new digital future. This is the generation that went overnight from Blockbuster to Limewire, from encyclopedias to Wikipedia, and from floppies to the cloud. It's no wonder that this resilience, born from navigating dial-up frustration and global recessions, translates into a highly pragmatic, "why not?" attitude: Why not work remotely? Why not buy the avocado toast? Why not wear this perfect, slightly cynical, but ultimately optimistic shirt? Embrace the chaos and the ethos. Gen Y? Gen Y Not.
