They had it easier than any generation. They had programs about building self esteem that ended with YOU ARE SPECIAL (for absolutely no reason at all). As Gen X we had some of those growing up but we knew it was bullshit teachers peddled to us. Milennials swallowed whole all the propaganda and bullshit fed to them.
They had no witchhunts growing up (Comics and JDs for Boomers, heavy metal and Dungeons and Dragons for Gen X) so they became the witchhunters
No bullying to help them improve themselves. When people would try to better themselves others would try to tear them down and call it bullying or hurting others' self esteem.
-No rebellious music to teach them to fight authority. Instead they had nigger music that taught them to sell out and side with corporations.
I'll add that as Gen X, we are surrounded by the two worst generations in history and it fucking sucks
Bullshit, boomers had it easier than any generation. Leave school early, walk into a production line job, have enough to buy a nice house and car with a single income.
I meant growing up they were babied. Teachers were afraid to get upset with or even fail a student or they could lose their job. Classes were dumbed down to promote self esteem. They got participation trophies. Then they became adults and the world didn't play along and they're throwing a generational temper tantrum.
Imagine blaming a kid for getting his way for throwing a temper tantrum and not the parents
Boomerfags also got sent to Korea and Vietnam, to fight pointless wars
Ummm...no. they were round two of the college fraud anal rape.
I think it’s kind of silly to lump all millennials into one category. I’m technically a millennial, but I am about is different from the kind of people you are talking about as it gets. And there are a lot of us
Yeah. I have a friend visiting and he was just talking about how he feels like the older generation and younger one swapped.
Example: Him and his friends began illegally beekeeping on his apartment roof as a hobby and anytime he visits his mom she's showing him dated memes on Facebook for hours.
He feels like the older generation is getting mindlessly plugged in while the younger one is starting to try and unplug a bit.
Though it really depends on your social group. Each generation has all the personality groups and types of people.
