Millennials are not young anyway. I'm a millennial and I'm 40.
Definitely: they got this “millennials” idea stuck in their heads 10 years ago and they still use it as shorthand for “these kids today.” You try to talk to them about GenZ and Alpha and they roll their eyes and say “the who now?”
They started on about it in the mid 90s and just like all their shitty ideas, they've never changed any opinion with new evidence ever. Look at this focus group (@23:10) of republicans and after half of them say they'd vote for trump even if he's in jail, one guy says there's no line for the supporters, and that they'd vote for him even if he died. The response from the trumpet is to complain about biden.
You see, it's because they're stupid.
Daily Show had it right 20 years ago: Republicans are either stupid and/or evil.
My daughter proudly told me she's "generation Alpha" the other day, first I'd ever heard the term. We then argued over what sounds cooler, gen alpha, or gen x.
I always get a kick out of this, I tell people that I am one of the younger millennials and I'm 32. Older people just have millennial=young person in their head.
I mean we are kinda young still... no? Aren't we? Guys??
And younger people just have boomer=old person in their head, which as a Gen-Xer drives me nuts every time I'm labeled as a Boomer.
It's funny because a lot of Millennials are starting to shit on the generations younger than them. It's something that happens to every generation.
I've mostly seen the opposite, Gen Z is pretty great
Yeah, I'm a millenial and I don't understand Gen Z sometimes and sometimes I feel old as I'm rolling my eyes and going "kids these days" but damn they were dealt an even shittier hand than we were and while we're a bunch of cynical bastards Gen Z is out there rolling with the punches.
Maybe this doesn't apply to you, but a lot of older millennials are doing the same thing gen x and boomers used to do when you were growing up. It's the ol' cycle of "damn kids these days"
I guess I just haven't seen it.
