Current Events > Why do old people seem to hate on millennials?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Were one of the best generation. We bring so much culture, we are modern, and I believe the old timers are jealous TBH. They have no legit issues

We don't stay off their lawns.

Millennials are fucking lazy, and, never stop complaining about everything. That's why.

Because older generations hate on the generations that come after them.

They certainly do seem very quick to pin the blame on a group of people who's only been old enough to vote for the last three presidents.

They dont get that we are the future and our future is bright!

They also dont get our taste in food and music and cultural choices

Kind of hard for many to care when they have no job opportunities and the nation is being run against the younger task force. In addition, automaton and other devises such as self checkouts and other self-help technology has begun taking jobs from those who really rely on it and aren't educated.

Also. Why is our government so damn hellbent against fixing schools so we'd have more people qualified for more successful positions? Well, that government sans Rubio, is practically made of living skeletons.

I find millenials easily offended. All of them.

They need more jobs that rely on social media, and technology.

Too many jobs require effort or experience. What happened to days where you walk in and win?

Yeah, I see almost as many older people on them as younger ones. And the older ones tend to be more rude about looking at them than younger people (ignoring service workers, not watching where they're going, etc.)

They probably said the same shit about newspapers. And really, smartphones are just convenient to have something to do while you're waiting for something.

Imagine having to physically work for everything you did and then seeing people do absolutely nothing and somehow complain that thats too much.

Imagine growing up playing outside with friends and not worrying about anything, and then see people that complain that they cant go outside because their iPad doesnt have enough WiFi.

Shit like that...... youd kinda see their point.

Baby Boomers are the greatest generation and I appreciate their continued support.
---

I feel like the only one who finds boomers and millennials equally annoying and toxic.

Probably because they're parents and children of each other.

Meanwhile Gen X is just fading into obscurity and Gen Z is eating Tide Pods.

Every generation complains about the next generation, and every generation thinks they're hot shit compared to the previous generation. This has been true since basically the dawn of time.

This, and it only seems even more conflated now because of social media.

I think it's less about how much millennials are working and more about how little ambition they have. Millennials seem hard working but complain the whole way, yet are complacent with their situation.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

How old would most people guess that quote is? 50 years? 100 years? It's fucking 2400 years old.

"Boomers blame us for everything!"

>Blames boomers for everything

Baby boomers grew up as the largest generation so damn near everything has been marketed towards them throughout their entire life. Millenials rival them in size and are quickly taking over as the target market and will continue to just grow in power as boomers die off and Millenials gain more wealth. Also, we're not only big. We're loud and not afraid to tell boomers to fuck off.

It's a changing of the guard. Old guard doesn't want to give up their power.

I work in HR, and laugh my balls off every time I see some noob list Facebook or Twitter under "skills" on their resume

The second point makes no sense. More kids have fun inside and with technology anyway. I know kids 6-7 yrs old who wont sit outside unless they have a charged iPad

Playing tag and hide and go seek were in the 80s and 90s....

This is a new generation

I never played outside, we have so many video games and tv shows when I was 6-7

Won't be long before millennials start hating on Generation Z.

Twitter is a skill and is used heavily. Can help companies since they tweet

A lot of places have someone who is a social media expert and spends all their time on social modes
