What
holiday encompasses millennials trends, fun and a day to dedicated to social
media? Halloween could most definitely be that holiday. It allows the
millennial generation to be unique, to be completely whoever they want to be
for a night, and have a little too much fun with their peers. What millennials
love so much about Halloween is that they can dress as wild and out there as
they want, and put effort into having fun with their costumes. Pinterest,
Instagram, and even YouTube Tutorials are all popular outlets online to find
ideas on creative Halloween costumes (and a lot of times for very cheap!)
Halloween has become a
mainstream holiday, as a day to celebrate being “different” or being exactly
who you want to be on a daily basis but can’t. It is also a way for millennials
to feel more connected to one another, with group costume ideas, team costume
contents and even the dynamic duo costume that never get old, it forms a
similar interest. Costumes embody popular trends in today’s culture, and
millennials love to set trends and show their individuality.
A huge reason why
Halloween is so popular, is because these clever and unique costume ideas can
be showcased on all social media platforms. Millennials love to post about what
they are doing with their lives, and get attention and validity after posting
pictures from their friends and family. Don’t believe me? I know you’re sitting on
your phone right now so go onto Instagram and in the search bar type in #halloweencostumes,
and you will see results in minutes!
Millennials
have options from different apps on their smartphones to find costume ideas,
and purchase them. However, a lot of millennials like to create unique costume
ideas on their own budget, and use items from their closet and create a
“do-it-yourself” costume. It allows for them to be more creative, and really
come up with a fun idea, and not have to worry about buying a costume that will
only be worn a couple of times. Some of the best Halloween costumes come from
those who picked up some fabric from Michaels and had an idea.
Halloween is a holiday that
is the millennial generation love, because of the experience of wearing a fun
costume, going out with your friends, and most importantly taking a selfie and
documenting the entire thing on snapchat…...kidding. It does not require, in most cases, to spend
a lot of money. There are also little obligations to celebrating the holiday, unlike
Thanksgiving or Christmas, and there are no real “traditions other than the
tradition of dressing up. The day is spent to have fun, stay out late, and wear
whatever your heart desires in order to show off one’s personality, character,
and individuality. All of these aspects of Halloween are perfect for the fun,
creative, social media sharing, experience loving people that millennials have
constantly shown themselves to be.

year? Wonder Women? Miley Cyrus? Or an infamous Dynamic Duo?
