As best I can make out, "millennial" is a term largely used to dismiss certain kinds of people as defective by birthright. It works in the same way as "snowflakes" and "soyboy". Just a dog whistle for one group of people to look down on another people without having to examine anything. At least here on CE, boomers is as much the same way. There's just more people in the milennial age bracket bitching about boomers, than there is boomers bitching about milennials. As old as I am I'm not even a boomer. It's just both generations just bitching and whining about each other. One of them has it easier, though. And both will say that. It is literally just bitching. Every generation has some things easier and some things harder. And older generations tend to minimize the new generation as they start distancing themselves from newer things. New generations tend to play down on anything older generations did to help society a long and tend to focus on the things they did wrong. This isn't even really a generational thing, as it is a human thing. I mean..claiming that an older generation "had it easier" is just admitting that things were better back then. MFW Besides, anybody remember the up until the late 1980s when your average office building didn't have (sexist) air conditioning? Rough times indeed. My point was every older generation claims it was harder for them and the younger generation claims they had it easier than the younger generation does now. It's really just people trying to validate their lives by claiming others have it easier and they had it harder. Milennials as old folks will do it to the younger generation. It's been going on for centuries because it's human behavior not something mutually exclusive to a specific generation of humans. --- I think I need a drink.
