Instagram's 'Millennials of New York' parody account is hilarious and spot-on

If you're looking for a laugh on Instagram, look no further than "Millennials of New York," a satirical take on "Humans of New York" that pokes fun at 20-somethings living in Manhattan. 

Humans of New York, in case you're not familiar, is a popular photo series depicting people from all over the New York area. Each photo is paired with a statment from the person in the picture, often words of wisdom or a profound piece of advice. Since its launch, it's grown into a global phenomenon with 14 million followers, a book, and offshoot projects like the current Humans of Iran.

Millennials of New York, on the other hand, with its captions about the high cost of Soul Cycle classes and dealing with the dreaded real world, is not exactly as sincere. 

Here's an example. 

"There's an epidemic out there and I can't believe I'm the only person who seems to care about one of the most pressing social issues of our time: people posting sexy selfies on social media with completely unrelated captions," reads this tongue-in-cheek caption

Created by Connor Toole and Alec MacDonald, MONY started as an Elite Daily post and then grew into a Facebook page where Toole and MacDonald have racked up over 60,000 fans, the Observer reported. They've also started posting on Instagram, where they have over 20,000 followers. 

Check out 14 satirical Instagrams from Millenials of New York.
