Originally released in 2011 by a Eurobeat artist known as Eurobeat Brony, the most well-known version of the song online is a remix released in 2012 by The Living Tombstone. "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," while ostensibly geared towards a younger audience, attracted a large adult fanbase and sparked <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-grown-men-who-love-my-little-pony-arent-who-you-think-they-are/2016/07/18/d1c1cefe-476f-11e6-acbc-4d4870a079da_story.html">one of the biggest fandom phenomenons of the 21st century.</a> Over the course of the series' run on Discovery Family from 2010 to 2019, fans called <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-the-bizarre-world-of-bronies-adult-male-fans-of-my-little-pony">"bronies" - adult men who loved the show</a> - became known for producing original <keyword id="6354530" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="music">music</keyword>, fanfiction, and fan art (some of it not safe for work), and for <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/8/28/17788132/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-ending-bronies-fandom">hosting events like "Bronycon" each year.</a>The song's latest resurgence on TikTok is part of the fandom's legacy, but it's divorced the song from its original "My Little Pony" and "brony" context.On TikTok, people dance to "Discord" and use it in videos that aren't related to "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." Others have explicitly expressed surprise that the song was fan-made and based on the television show, posting TikTok videos about how they thought that it was about the popular chat platform Discord."I really thought this song was about the app for 2 years," TikTok user @janetheplane wrote in an on-screen caption of a video about the song." The villain character Discord is what's called a "draconequus" in the world of "My Little Pony" - a chimera-like species based primarily on dragons and horses - who first appears as an antagonist in the show's second season. As his name suggests, he's known for sowing discord and chaos, upending the way of life in Equestria (the realm in which "Friendship is Magic" takes place).<h2>'Discord' is one of many fan-made 'My Little Pony' creations to become famous - within and outside of the fandom </h2>"Discord," the song, was originally written and posted by a <a href="https://odysseymusic.bandcamp.com/">Eurobeat producer who has been known as Odyssey</a>, Eurobeat Brony, and <a href="https://twitter.com/OdysseyEB">other titles online</a>. One of the pivotal figures of the "My Little Pony" fan music scene, she released the original version of "Discord" on October 6, 2011, according to the description on the YouTube upload of the song. To date, the video has over 5.7 million views.The most well-known version of the song is a remix by The Living Tombstone, an internet group that's also produced TikTok-famous hits like "My Ordinary Life" and a litany of other "My Little Pony" songs, that was released in 2012. The remix has over 47 million views on YouTube and is the version that's going viral on TikTok.Aside from its TikTok popularity, "Discord" has had a presence online across the 2010s. The song has been used in many <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEl2rfcKz54">"My Little Pony" fan videos</a>, though it has also been used to soundtrack fan-music videos about video games like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcyUoJPqjLU">"Five Nights at Freddy's</a>," <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vegs7NtT8hc"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz9ldJM584M">internet-based horror stories called creepypastas</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oGMi6IOty0">television shows like "Gravity Falls,"</a> that have individually amassed millions of views. The song is only one part of a thriving fan music scene surrounding "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" that was at its height in the 2010s.Artists like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpgDkOVtTbAHrHKOnOu7HJw">Eurobeat Brony</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLivingTombstone">The Living Tombstone</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MandoPony">MandoPony</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkg5I1Z4sKGyBLC5nAOLz3A">WoodenToaster</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AcousticBrony">Acoustic Brony</a> released song after song inspired by characters, plots, and themes from "My Little Pony" online, sometimes drawing inspiration from other fan-made works that were popular within the fandom."Discord" <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@watsondotcom/video/6854751623336447233?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1p=v1">isn't even the first "My Little Pony" fan song to blow up on TikTok</a> (or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR0hc6U1FUk">even the first one</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnT9Fb6qug0">about Discord, the character</a>), and other <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/My-Ordinary-Life-6754201382305138689?lang=en">songs by The Living Tombstone like "My Ordinary Life"</a> have found life on the app as well.<h2>'Discord' has been growing in popularity on TikTok for months</h2>"Discord" isn't a new phenomenon on TikTok, but it's grown in popularity in recent months. To date, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/Discord-6763778725038262273?_d=secCgYIASAHKAESMgowZmK6jVcsyFN1HaWyVsHvMFlNXqALid%2B0eRGpnc6sciUfEsN9jFb7iFGdl2hybaiSGgA%3D&amp;checksum=facf427ad8460ff0dd853bfe57fb7808be7a875bd73698fea1a2bb273fb949cb&amp;language=en&amp;preview_pb=0&amp;sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAAYi4flqtsqutbJtQwlc0OzJESdYib06i4rvIo4Ro4daMbIpLAwZtB3FGQjci8DIIk&amp;share_app_id=1233&amp;share_item_id=6971496103279676678&amp;share_link_id=9792AA30-8BF4-4F41-A541-9676FD738286&amp;source=h5_m&amp;timestamp=1623272268&amp;tt_from=copy&amp;u_code=aia5ieefmim7l&amp;user_id=236721550278823936&amp;utm_campaign=client_share&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;utm_source=copy&amp;_r=1ign=client_share&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;utm_source=copy&amp;_r=1">the song</a> has been used in over 500,000 videos on the platform.Much of that popularity appears to have surged in recent months, with many of the top videos associated with the sound having been posted in April, May, and June. While there isn't a unified trend driving people's use of the sound, a dance challenge created by TikTok user @phlip._.phlop appears to have driven some of its popularity throughout the month of May. Along with the song's popularity are questions about whether everyone who's using the sound is aware of its origins in the "My Little Pony" fan music scene. "Wait so people actually think this video is about the app-?" TikTok user @tamamatok wrote in on-screen text in a video about the song. Another TikTok user, @kyllaaahh, posted a video imitating someone mocking "My Little Pony" and then dancing to "Discord." Others have explicitly spoken about their misconceptions about the song. <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@laurenduer/video/6962247153972448517?sender_device=pc&amp;sender_web_id=6891259809896056326&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;is_copy_url=0s_copy_url=0">TikTok user @laurenduer posted a video lip-syncing and dancing to "Discord,"</a> asking in the caption if she was the only one who thought the song was about "discord discord," presumably referencing the chat platform. Another TikTok user, @swanksinatra.1, posted a video about being "completely unaware" of the origins of the song and explained that it was actually about "My Little Pony.""If I'm cursed with the knowledge that this song is about MLP Thanos then I won't be cursed alone," @swanksinatra.1 wrote in an on-screen caption of a video about the song, comparing Marvel villain Thanos - who in the Marvel Cinematic Universe destroys half of all life across the universe - to the "My Little Pony" character. The popularity of "Discord" on TikTok may seem strange, in that it's going viral to soundtrack content that is largely unrelated to its original context. But on TikTok, that's routine: <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2020/1/21/21075974/tiktok-anime-important-part-of-our-culture-memes-danganronpa-explained">as this author reported for Polygon in 2020</a>, users frequently incorporate sounds that reference anime and other fandom topics without explicitly referencing their origins.

Logo Documentaries</a>" series, the unconventional, underground, and often discriminated against world of bronies was revealed.
First thing's first - a "brony" is a male fan of the cartoon, "<a href="http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic" target="_blank">My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic</a>."
The doc, "WHAT?! Bronies: Adult Fans of My Little Pony" delves into the phenomenon and the extreme flack bronies face for liking a cartoon that is primarily targeted at young girls.
"Forced to live out their fanboy (and fangirl) desires in secrecy, these mostly straight "bronies" must grapple with their misunderstood love for "My Little Pony" while preparing for the annual convention, BronyCon," <a href="http://www.logopressroom.com/uncategorized/logo-tvs-what-logo-documentaries-series-returns-for-a-third-season/" target="_blank">states a release on Logo's website</a>.
Throughout the hour-long doc, we meet a serviceman who discusses his inability to reveal his brony fandom to military friends, and some fathers who initially experienced uneasiness with their sons' interest in the cartoon.
Alex Tibcken of Andrews, North Carolina, was the recipient of homophobic slurs and had his car vandalized for putting "My Little Pony" decals on its windows.
As Tibcken's friend Christopher explains, "If you choose to be a Brony in the Appalachian mountains, you're gonna have problems. You might get beat up, you could get cussed at, you could get things thrown at you. It's not an easy thing." 
Another recently released film about bronies, "<a href="http://bronydoc.com/index.html#" target="_blank">Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony</a>," further examines the phenomenon, revealing what draws fans to "My Little Pony" to begin with.

There's A New Documentary About 'Bronies' - Guys Who Love 'My Little Pony'

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Two scammers were sentenced to prison after prosecutors said they targeted elderly victims online and solicited them for money.</li><li>Linda Mbimadong, 29, and Richard Broni, 31, were sentenced to 37 months and 19 months in prison, respectively.</li></ul>Two people were sentenced Friday to more than a year in prison in connection with a <a href="https://www.insider.com/ftc-warns-wary-romance-scams-valentines-day-2022-2">romance scam</a> that cost a 78-year-0ld Virginia man more than $500,000. Prosecutors said Linda Mbimadong, 29, and Richard Broni, 31, worked with several unnamed co-conspirators to trick elderly victims online into sending them cashier's checks, wires, and Apple products. A 78-year-old Virginia man, whose name was redacted in court documents, joined a dating app called iFlirt. He chatted with one of the unnamed co-conspirators he believed to be a "widow from Watertown, New York in her thirties," according to court documents.The person sent him photos supposedly of herself that matched that description, the documents said.The pair talked via email and Google Hangouts. The FBI viewed conversations that spanned from September 2019 to June 2020, according to court documents. At some point, one of the co-conspirators claimed she was "going to Germany in order to receive an inheritance of gold bars." She told the man she had been arrested and asked him for money for her release, promising to repay him plus 30%. She put him in touch with someone she claimed was a "financial advisor," documents said.The co-conspirators told the man to purchase Apple products and said they would resell them to use the money to free the woman from jail. Over a span of two months, the Virginia man sent 53 packages of Apple products, the court documents said.That's when she said she had been arrested again, requesting more money for bail and "for insurance to ship the gold to the United States of America from the Netherlands." The co-conspirators convinced the man to use money from his IRA.<h2>In total, the Virginia man lost $580,000 in the scams, prosecutors said</h2>Similar romance scams have been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/romance-scams-cryptocurrency-catfishing-record-losses-fraud-federal-trade-commission-2022-2">staggeringly successful</a> in recent years, according to the <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/data-spotlight/2022/02/reports-romance-scams-hit-record-highs-2021">Federal Trade Commission.</a> Individuals have lost $1.3 billion in the last five years, the agency said. The scammers also targeted a second victim, a 74-year-old woman from Englewood, Colorado, who authorities said had been scammed by three different men. She ultimately sent them a cashier's check for $79,300 from her retirement savings, according to court records. Prosecutors said Mbimadong and Broni were not directly involved in deceiving victims, but said they accepted the money and laundered it overseas, the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/02/18/romance-elder-fraud-scam/">Washington Post</a> reported. "The defendants allegedly impersonated military service members, diplomats, and others to deprive elderly victims of their retirement savings," said Raj Parek, acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, in a May 2021 <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/new-york-couple-indicted-romance-fraud-scam">press release</a>.In FBI interviews, Broni claimed he initially believed his business dealings were legitimate, but he said he continued laundering money even after he learned it was part of an illegal <keyword id="41357" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="scam" source="Orion">scam</keyword>. He estimated that he profited $30,000. Mbimadong admitted she participated in the criminal enterprise, which she said originated in Ghana.Ahead of Friday's sentencing hearing, Mbimadong and Broni issued written apologies in sentencing memos, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-7c2468757794ff2abe1a67f939089bb8">Associated Press</a> reported. "I have to express my ugly truth. I was selfish, ambitious and greedy for success," wrote Mbimadong, who estimated to the FBI that she profited $250,000 from the scams. Both Mbimadong and Broni pleaded guilty to engaging in a monetary transaction in criminally derived property and were sentenced to prison for 37 months and 19 months, respectively. Mbimadong agreed to pay $1.3 million in restitution to the victims, while Broni agreed to pay $87,000.Judge T.S. Ellis said the sentences for Mbimadong and Broni would have been higher but for their cooperation with authorities in identifying others involved in the <keyword id="13147924" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="romance-scam" source="Orion">romance scam</keyword>, the Post reported.

One in three respondents added that they didn't know anyone that had launched their own company.The survey also found that boys are slightly more positive and confident than girls about entrepreneurship, with 45% of girls saying they fear failure compared to 39% of boys.<h2>Google launches Future Founders</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">GoogleCampus London is Google's startup space in the English capital.</div></div></div>In a bid to help address the the attitudes of British teenagers towards entrepreneurship, Google announced on Monday that it is launching an initiative in the <keyword id="6354868" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="UK">UK</keyword> called Google Future Founders.Google describes Future Founders as a youth entrepreneurship programme that will be run out of Google's UK startup hub, <a href="https://www.campus.co/london/en" target="_blank">Campus London</a>. The programme will aim to tackle myths and perceived barriers to entrepreneurship and encourage a mindset of experimentation and bold thinking.Through the programme, Google said groups of students aged 16-18 from schools across the UK will visit Campus London for half-day workshops run by startup experts and entrepreneurs. Visitors will be given ongoing access to mentorship, Google said.Sarah Drinkwater, head of Campus London, said in a statement: "No matter what their eventual career, we know that teaching students about entrepreneurship builds critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills. These are highly important skills for young people as they prepare to enter the world of work, but can also ensure that the UK's startup ecosystem flourishes in the years to come."From British app developers like Nick D'Aloisio, to YouTube content creators like Zoella or social entrepreneurs like GiveMeTap's Edwin Broni-Mensah, we've seen numerous young founders that have a massive impact on their industries before they even turn 25. By running the Future Founders programme with our partners, we hope to inspire the next generation of innovators who will shape Britain's future."The Future Founders programme builds on previous programmes from Google Campus, including baby-friendly start-up school "Campus for Mums and Dads" and Founders Over 50. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/incredible-augmented-reality-headset-2016-3">The things you can see through this Florida startup's augmented reality headset will blow your mind</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="tzNDNpMTE6DOA1pCXtOejqiHr7XmplPY" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

Here's everything leaving Netflix in December

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">YouTubePhilippe von Borries, cofounder and co-CEO of Refinery29.</div></div></div>I am the co-founder and co-CEO of a millennial media company, which is something of a hot button topic lately. Whether you are analyzing millennials or analyzing those analyzing millennials, it is all part of the same conversation. And it is time to change the dialogue. When I wrote about <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lets-stop-talking-millennial-generation-start-new-von-borries?trk=prof-post" target="_blank">this topic </a>a few months ago, I suggested that the first step is to understand what the term "millennial" even means. It is NOT a generation, it is a mindset. At Refinery29, we are proud to speak to and represent an audience that is independent and progressive, and these values are incorporated into everything we do. In what seems to be perfect timing, I recently presented a keynote at SXSW on this very topic, and discussed how to put the millennial mindset into practice. Here's to applying a new lens to this ever-evolving conversation. The following column is adapted from a keynote address delivered at <a href="http://schedule.sxsw.com/2016/events/event_PP53274" target="_blank">SXSW Interactive</a> in March 2016.No historical moment offers a more apt metaphor for the triumph of individuality over conformity than the fall of the Berlin Wall. Most people saw those unforgettable images of sledgehammers and celebrations in history class or on television. I saw it happen with my own eyes. I was 10 years old growing up in Cologne, 300 miles west of Berlin, when my dad put us on a plane to watch history unfold in real time. I remember three things from that November night: First, people from the West handing cash - 5, 10, and 20 Deutschmarks to strangers crossing over from the East. Second, David Hasselhoff -- icon of Germany at the time -- wearing a ridiculous jacket festooned with lightbulbs, standing on top of the wall singing to thousands of cheering Germans. And third, I remember the euphoria of people from the East feeling free to express themselves once the Berlin Wall could no longer deny them their individuality.The amazing thing about the Berlin Wall is that unlike the barriers politicians are talking about today, the Berlin Wall wasn't designed to keep people out; it was designed to keep people in. On our side, people pursued their passions. On the other side, people were forced into rigidity and a world of sameness. A lot has changed in nearly 30 years. But in many ways, we still paint people with broad brushes. Just try typing the word "women" into a Google Image search. You'll find a world of stereotypes and conventions in which every woman is made to look the same. Add "Refinery29" to that search and you'll see a far more diverse picture that much more closely resembles what the real world looks like. These women are doing things, leading movements, and even running for president. That's the mission behind <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/" target="_blank">Refinery29</a>, a global media company that produces content for every aspect of women's multifaceted lives - fashion, lifestyle, news, politics. While we've evolved over the past 10 years, our mission of inspiring and empowering women to express their individuality hasn't. But it isn't always easy to stay true to your mission and your audience at the same time. That's the challenge we faced at our company, where our mission of celebrating individuality clashed with the reality that our biggest audience, millennials, is a demographic that isn't treated as individuals. Millennials are often talked about as if they're clones of one another - and we're sick of it!<h2>Drop the term "millennial"</h2>To free ourselves from this trap, I published an <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lets-stop-talking-millennial-generation-start-new-von-borries?trk=prof-post" target="_blank">article</a> on LinkedIn last year about needing to drop the term millennial, to reference an entire generation of diverse and different individuals. Today, I'm going to propose an evolution of this theory.<h2>Millennial is a mindset</h2>Millennial isn't a generation - it's a mindset that affects people of every age alive today. That mindset comprises three values: individuality, global connectedness, and purpose.First, we want to be respected as individuals who seek self-expression and creativity. Yes, people have always wanted to express themselves. What's different today is that technology has given us new ways to create and new avenues to show who we are. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1vnsqbnAkk" target="_blank">Barbie</a> is now encouraging girls to pursue their own passions and live out their individual dreams. Even <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/2016/01/102098/barbie-new-body-types" target="_blank">the doll herself has changed</a> colors, shapes, and sizes. If Barbie - the perfectly symmetrical face of uniformity and conformity - can change, there's hope for all of us.Second, we want to feel connected to one another. According to Maslow's famous<a href="http://changingminds.org/explanations/needs/maslow.htm" target="_blank">Hierarchy of Needs</a>, belonging is the most basic human need after food and safety. Again, what's different today is that technology allows us to connect with like-minded people on a global scale. A great example of this is the new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYxpX3N20qU" target="_blank">Android commercial</a> that aired during the Academy Award and says, we want to be 'Together, not the Same.' That's what this is all about. The third trait of the millennial mindset is purpose. People want to be seen as individuals and also be part of something bigger than ourselves. That's why younger workers are attracted to companies with a higher mission, or movements like #BlackLivesMatter. And in the marketing space, it's what made Dove's<a href="http://www.dove.us/Social-Mission/campaign-for-real-beauty.aspx" target="_blank">campaign for Real Beauty</a> one of the standout branded campaigns of the last 50 years.Another <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n3Db6pMQ-8" target="_blank">example</a> comes from Japan, where the makeup brand Sheisedo showed its support for gender fluidity while showing off the utility of its products.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Refinery29Philippe von Borries (L) and Justin Stefano (R) cofounded Refinery29 in 2005.</div></div></div><h2>The power of niches</h2>How does a brand or anyone else in search of an audience connect the millennial mindset's three values of individuality, global connectedness, and purpose?The answer lies in the power of niches. When we think of a niche, we think of something small. But niches aren't small - they're big. Niches are more global and powerful than ever before.Nor are niches new. But at Refinery29 we define niches differently: as communities that connect tribes of people coming together over shared passions in a digital world that lets even the most specific niche thrive, grow, cross borders, and break down the walls between us. Whatever you're into, there's a niche for you. Are you a man who likes My Little Pony? Join the <a href="http://whatisabrony.com/" target="_blank">Bronies</a>. Do you enjoy making tiny cakes with an even tinier spatula? So do more than 5 million other people who have watched <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWW41tufSZs" target="_blank">this video</a>.Niches are big business, too. <a href="http://www.flosports.tv/" target="_blank">FloSports</a> caters to passionate but underserved sports audiences like those who love softball or cheer. Anime, which used to be a niche interest, has entered the mainstream through media properties like <a href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/" target="_blank">Crunchyroll</a> and its passionate community of followers.Just think of some of the most popular websites and social platforms today. Reddit, a site that <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/08/reddit-reportedly-raising-50m-at-a-500m-valuation/" target="_blank">was valued</a> at $500 million in 2014, has built its entire premise around the idea of building niche communities, while social platforms like Facebook and, yes, LinkedIn have looked to achieve mass adoption while also enabling the creation groups tailored to particular interests, passions and careers.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">ShutterflyMillennials are a diverse group that can't be put in just one bucket.</div></div></div><h2>How to tap into niches</h2>In order for our company to stay true to its mission of celebrating individuality for an audience that isn't seen as individuals, at Refinery29, we tap into niches that respect the diverse interests of our users. We speak to Disney Superfans and Experimental-Beauty Lovers. We fuel the passions of Fast-Foodies and Tiny Apartment Dwellers. We cater to those who want to dress "Ugly Pretty." To do this, we follow a deliberate process. For example, the beauty products and routines once limited to South Korea have become a global phenomenon and serve as a solid case study:<ol><li>Identify a Niche: In July 2013, we saw 55,000 searches for a story we had written about BB creams, a blemish balm that originated in Germany but got hot in Korea. This made us realize there probably was an appetite worldwide for more Korean beauty coverage.</li><li>Add Service: We tested this hypothesis by helping people choose the best Korean beauty products, showing them where to buy them and teaching them how to apply them. For our Western users, we took an industry from halfway around the world and made it immediately accessible.</li><li>Give People a Voice: The next step was to let beauty experts and Korean women who were already passionate about this space share their expertise. We hired a columnist in South Korea, Joyce Kong, to bring the Refinery29 audience the newest trends and ideas direct from the source. It worked: people spent 68 percent longer on Joyce's columns than the site average.</li><li>Go Deeper: When we see a topic trending and a niche growing, we invest more resources, time, and reporting. In this case, our journalists investigated exactly why Korean beauty was becoming so popular outside Southeast Asia - and whether that popularity would last.</li><li>Make it Personal: Finally, one of our writers covering Korean beauty shared a personal story about how she felt the beauty industry teaches minorities to look whiter. We knew that sentiment resonated with our users when her post attracted 163 comments of deep discussion. We responded by producing content personalized to different eye shapes, giving women the tools to be and express themselves.]</li></ol>Brands can also leverage the power of passionate niches, and, to stay relevant to today's audiences, they have to. We take the same approach when working with brands as we do when crafting our editorial content, identifying passionate sub-communities and conversations that can drive relevancy with our audience.<h2>Don't stereotype an audience - serve them</h2>By changing how we think about millennials - not a generation, but a mindset - we can create a culture where everyone belongs. That's how we stay true to who we are and who they are. That's how we serve an audience, not stereotype them.It's not that millennials are definitely lazy or definitely ambitious. It's that we've been having the wrong conversation all along. Broad generalizations make no sense in today's culture. It's about finding passionate niches that will propel your brand.But to succeed, all of us have a responsibility: We have to question our instincts to typecast and pigeonhole people.By doing this, we'll build a future in which everyone is empowered to be himself or herself. Let's break down the walls that still stand. Let's break down the walls that separate us, the walls that keep others out, and the walls that keep us trapped in old ways of thinking.This article was <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/millennial-isnt-generationits-mindset-heres-how-philippe-von-borries">first published on LinkedIn</a> and has been republished on Business Insider with the author's permission. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/smartphone-exposure-affecting-brain-2016-3">What happens to your brain when you check your phone all the time</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="xzZW5meDpYCpFU1t_RwFhx4rGx-ruOP8" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
