A newspaper recently dubbed Something Awful "a millennial slack site" in one of their stupid news pieces about everybody's favorite stupid rear end piece of poo poo creepypasta, Slenderman:

https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2017/01/23/beware-the-slenderman-when-the-boogeyman-goes-viral.html

quote:

Slender Man, a tall, thin, faceless figure in a suit, sometimes depicted with eight black tentacles, was first developed by artist Victor Surge, the alias of an American named Eric Knudsen, for a Photoshop competition on millennial slack site SomethingAwful.com. He submitted two vintage black-and-white photos of a group of children outdoors, the figure rendered as a blur lurking in the background. The character has since become the inspiration for a world of creepy creations online.

I would greatly appreciate it if any of you could enlighten me as to the definition of a "millennial slack site," and how I apparently run one. At 40 years old, I am probably one of the oldest millennials around, and I'm not sure if I'm really much of a slacker. Besides, I thought we were a dead gay comedy forum, or a downfalling Web 1.0 giant?!?

I'm required to wear a suit or at least millenial slacks at my job.
Edit: I should clarify- my job is not being the creepy monster, slenderman

Any publicity is good, I guess. If millennial hipster types come here and realize that we were here first, we're higher up the coolness totem pole. It's a win win. Going to use my new coolness to seduce millennial girls with rainbow hair and patreons, ty lowtax and the newspaper for the opportunity.

I'd say around 4, but my concept of slack may not be of the same magnitude as Millennial Slack.

I thought the title read shack instead of slack. Was hoping for some good eats.

As a millenial at almost 30, I sure slack off alot here. So I guess that makes sense.

Also, hbo came out with a show on slendyman.
