Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

Tell me your dumb, half-hearted theories about this generation.

Be as generalized and Gen-X hating as you want.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

we're cool

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

counterpoint: they're nerds

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

Baby boomers dropped the ball raising us (lol)

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

we'll be remembered later on as the last of the lost generations whose entire lives aren't on a digital record somewhere.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

This thought always makes my heart ache.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

In a format nobody can read anymore.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

The generation that comes after us is going to have major backlash to our culture and blame us for everything wrong with the society they live in, just like we're currently doing to the baby boomers and Gen X'ers.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much.

Re: Millennials

[dethtoll]

Fuck Gen X and fuck the Boomers. Fuck the "Greatest Generation" too.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

:(

I like the Greatest Generation. Their time is one of the interesting periods in recent history for me, and has produced much of my favourite literature.

(No argument about Baby Boomers and Gen X, though.)

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

I was born right in the middle so that I don't know whether I'm Gen X or Millennial. I guess my only option is to hate myself.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind people hanging out on their phones on buses / waiting for stuff etc. but I think they legitimately can't communicate anymore. I fucking hate going to restaurants with people and they're fucking with their phones instead of hanging out.
don't bullshit me that this is 'communication' and their social life is so rich. communication and discussion is going the way of the dinosaurs.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

I sort of agree.

I don't like it when people post pics of people using their phones on the bus, and complain that no one communicates anymore, because really, when was riding the bus a social event? Why shouldn't people entertain themselves with games/the internet or talk to people who aren't physically present when they're on the bus?

But I hate going out with friends and being ignored because they're on their phones. I hate when people invite me over to their house and then just mess around on their laptop the whole time (okay... I'll just sit here and stare into space while you entertain yourself...). Maybe they ARE communicating with someone, but if you've invited someone out to do something, you should be communicating with THEM, not ignoring them and talking to someone else online. That's just rude.

Here's a thought: I actually have faith in us as a generation, and those who will come after us. Sure, some of us might be lazy or lost or perpetually unemployed (but, haven't there always been people?) - but I see much more volunteering, community involvement, care about the environment etc etc than in my parents' generation.

Every generation so far had whined about the generation after them, and you know, I think we're going to be fine this time, too.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

How about Baby Boomers need to get over the fact that technology fucking exists. It's not going to go away because they want it too. It's not making people maladjusted or fucked up by it's mere existence. I have a younger sibling born in 2003 and now the kids' a straight A overachiever.

Just saying this because dammit this technophobia is starting to get on my nerves. The other day I saw pictures of signs posted around a town saying "this is a tech free zone" threatening a $300 fine for using phones or tablets. Including one in a store

Why should someone be charged $300 for using the phone to possibly be talking to a boss, a parent or dealing with a family emergency because of one person's discomfort and nostalgia. It's entitled is what it is.

"You can't use your tech or answer the phone here because my feelings"

Yeah hope you like no business.

Re: Millennials

[kallanda_lee]

Whut?

Like I can understand in a theater or whatever - but in a whole TOWN?

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

Internet-addiction, lack of privacy, and college-debt (at least for the US) will be some of the biggest issues of this generation and Gen Y.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

they all need a hug

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

Culture, worldwide, will become more centralized.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

Millenials and Gen X aren't the same thing?

Re: Millennials

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Gen X are 60s through to 80s births. People now in their 30s and 40s. I'm the latter end of Gen X. I am not familiar with the term Millenials, but it might refer to current teens and pre-teens - kids born after 1999. 80s and 90s is probably Gen Y.

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

I don't get the entitlement stereotype associated with millennials onward. The stuff about kids getting participation trophies? Has anyone ever experienced that? Not me, or anyone else I knew growing up, got showered in trophies and tons of fake praise, but I grew up in poor, rural areas. And I can't help that think that even if it happened, kids would be smart enough to recognize that they're being given meaningless "rewards" and grow cynical instead of entitled. idk. Thoughts?

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

We got trophies for sports teams and stuff when I was growing up, even if we were shit. But, yeah, we knew they were meaningless. At least I did. It was quite obvious. & as for praise - I mean, it's hard to say, because there was a certain amount of pro forma stuff. You know, good effort, good try, yadda yadda. But I certainly wouldn't describe it as being showered with praise. Really what I would say is, if you think a parent can't make their approval or disapproval, pride or lack thereof, clear using whatever means are available to them, they're naive.
