A new online craze is set to wedge a deeper rift between Millennials and Gen Zs, as 80s and 90s babies are claiming they have an elite physical mark that no one else has.
People born between 1981 and 1996 - otherwise known as Millennials - are flocking to TikTok to show off their 'Millennial mole'; a beauty mark they say is reserved exclusively for their generation.
According to various users, simply having a mole - a small, coloured spot on the skin - isn't enough to let one into the club: rather, the mole needs to be visible on a specific body part.
According to Beyoncé's bestie Kelly Rowland, and many others who claim they have this special mark, a 'Millennial mole' can only be found on your left forearm.
Millennials have been left mind blown after claiming to check their left arm - where they have shockingly discovered the unsuspecting mark hidden in plain sight.
In a video shared to her Instagram stories earlier this week, the Atlanta-born songstress asked: 'Has anyone heard of this Millennial mole?'
The Motivation hitmaker, 44, appeared to be sunning it up incognito on the beach; all decked out it in oversized white sunglasses, a bucket hat and a baggy red top.
While recording a selfie video for her fans, she zoomed into a spot on her left arm seemingly revealing a tiny black spot, which she dubbed her very own 'millennial mole'.
