I'm getting better at understanding them

But damn sometimes I spend more time searching for definitions to understand it than it actually takes to read it

it's a pejorative for people who aren't following the trends and particularly the now out of fashion trends from the 2010's (live laugh love signs, mom jeans, minions, holds up spork, girl bossing etc) that's now associated with being behind the times, tryharding etc, but has evolved to a general term for people who are uncool.

(I am a millennial though for the record so maybe I'm not using it right :D)

I'd never heard it before. After looking it up, that appears to be the correct usage. It's one of those slang words with no apparent etymology. It refers to a pretty specific time period, so it will probably have a short shelf life unless it changes in meaning.
