One said to confuse a Millennial just: 'Pay them cash instead of exposure'

Tweets suggested generation were lazy and had a sense of entitlement

Baby Boomers and Generation X'ers took aim at the younger generation

Twitter went into meltdown this Labor Day weekend after Baby Boomers and Generation X'ers took aim at the younger generation in a series of hilarious tweets.

#HowToConfuseAMillenial began trending on Twitter as the previous generations mocked Millennials' stereotypical obsession with social media and arty but unpractical university degrees.

'Tell them their French History degree will get them a job at Target,' one Twitter user suggested, sharing the hashtag.

Another wrote that to confuse a Millennial, one simply had to: 'Pay them cash instead of exposure.'

'What do you mean there's no wifi? #HowToConfuseAMillennial,' a fellow Twitter user added.

Others teased the younger generation's supposed inherent laziness, sense of self-entitlement and dislike for competitiveness.

'Show them a first place trophy,' was one suggestion, while another suggested showing them a list of all the things Millennials were automatically entitled to. The list, of course, was empty.

'Tell them that singers wrote their own songs and actually sang all the notes without aid of autotune,' another added, also sharing the '#HowToConfuseAMillennial' hashtag.

But Millennials hit back over the weekend, accusing the older generation of hypocrisy.

Millennials claimed the hashtag back for themselves in a series of witty, sarcastic tweets accusing the Baby Boomers and General X'ers of ruining the economy and housing market - and then mocking the next generation for failing to buy their own homes.

One Twitter user wrote: '#HowToConfuseAMillenial - Destroy the environment, destroy the economy, destroy the housing market and then call millennials lazy.'

Others hit back at accusations they were obsessed with social media and technology - by pointing out that they were often the first port of call for confused parents or members of the older generation.

'"Come help me get set up on this twitter.com thing so I can post about how bad your generation is." #HowToConfuseAMillenial.'

'I'm already confused. I didn't know this many old people used Twitter.'

'#HowToConfuseAMillenial push for an advance in technology in the late 90s early 2000s and then complain about us always using technology.'
