I feel like a lot of the trash they throw on Millennials is pure projection. It's like how when MySpace and Facebook first came out they were all freaked out about the *pure narcissism* of it. But now they are all on Facebook playing FarmVille like it's 2006 AND SENDING OUT ALL THE GAME REQUESTS.

I appreciate the insight. And was equally surprised to find out that I'm a Millennial as well, so token fist-bump there. I'm speaking only from my own experiences, of course, but as one of those on-the-cusp Millennials, I feel as though we pretty naturally acquired prior generations' expectations. The whole Achieve…

I'm on the very early cusp of being a Millennial (trust me, it was a shock to find that out). It sounds like you're being tugged from both directions— you've done all the things "right." You've been responsible by saving money and you've built up your little corner of the American dream by having possessions that you…

Shit, man, I thought it was just me with the 401k thing.

Probably to a certain extent (ranting about young folk is a perk of old age) but I wonder how much of this "millennials suuuck" griping is just projected generation gap. There's this element in the boomers that seems to be perpetually fanning the flames of generational culture clash in an attempt to replicate what…

Its hilarious how offended my generation is at people calling us lazy and entitled. We are lazy and entitled... as every rising generation of late teens-twenty-somethings has always been. Kids come out of college all energetic and excited and ready to be game-changing creative social media innovators (or whatever…

Meh. Do it when you're 33 then. Never view your situation in life as a finite point. It's always bendable, malleable, etc. The only advice I would ever be firm on is never think of situation in life as a dead end. You can always veer off to another path. And don't let people define you by your age. There's no law that…

"Yeah, Boomers: a lot of us are narcissistic."

I always felt the same way. Super responsible, need to make money and pay off loans, and save for the future. In my late 30s now, and one of my regrets is I've never lived in another country. Visited quite a bit, but I wasn't even able to do study abroad because my college had a sucky program for it. And I've…

"Get a 401k set up" is pretty much the only thing coming out of my generation's mouth that 20-somethings need to listen to.

I don't know...

That was beautiful.

Missing: We're not all white, either!

I don't see what that has to do with rather or not the things said in them are true.

whoa! what crawled up your ass and died today? Do you have anything to actually show for what you just said, or is it all just anecdata you picked up from watching millenials around you?

Really? you know every single one of us? Sit the fuck down with that shit and go back to your mid-life crisis.

OMG the boy band nostalgia whenever people mention Beiber or Swift.

That's probably true, but I don't see why it means we shouldn't object when it's done to us. "Oh, it's okay, in a few decades we can shit on our children for being too focused on material success! That makes it all better."

Never never never! I seriously call out my friends when they do this. "Justin Bieber is such a joke. The music we had is kids used to be quality, like N'SYNC." OH NO YOU DINT.

Yea and hopefully we will have had done something in the meantime to fix the bullshit y'all left for us, thanks :)
