I'm a Millennial, but I'm hardly what everyone else thinks of a Millennial. I hate the whole Millennial stereotype... A whiny, sexually confused wimp that bitches about everything and does nothing about it. I'm not whiny, I'm straight, I don't expect things to be given to me on a silver platter, I've worked for everything I have and will soldier on, cause I can do better.
To those who say "You can't do shit, cause you're a Millennial", I say, where were you at the age of 26? I got my degree, a good job as a car salesman, my own business, a 4 car garage and can spend 2.7 grand on a vacation for me, my girlfriend and my parents in Greece in the summer.
Not saying all of us are great, I know many Millennials who are terrible at life, I know many Gen-X-ers that suck at it... Don't put everyone under one dumb label.
The pot smoking, live in their parents basement, blame the government for everything types are not the people who represent my generation.
True to that, generalization is extremely stupid, the stereotypical assumption that millennial are lazy obese technology addicts doesn't apply to all. hey completely ignore great millennial sport stars like Roger Federer, Lionel Messi ,Usain Bolt and more and than over half the current sports demographics is taken be millennial. Researches also shows millennial are the most physically active generation as er a 2017 survey, even more so than the succeeding gen, gen z [[www.salon.com/2018/06/10/why-millennials-are-more-fit-than-any-other-generation/]]. I am guessing its jealousy within Boomers and Xers that millennial are taking over their place. Not to mention mellinials make up most of todays working class and their money is used as social security tax for Boomers. But every generation had its share of criticism at a certain point, the statement "each generation is worse than the last" existed since the 19th Century. My point is there are millennials are lazy, unproductive and do not contribute and deserves criticism. But they certainly do not represent all millennial, there are millennial who are hard working, productive and have made significant contribution. Each generation has bad and good, but the millennial generation came about a time when the internet is at its highest and is a tool to spread fast propaganda and criticisms; that weren't as easy to spread in the case f older generations. Either ways anyone with intelligence knows that generalization is plane stupid and no intelligent person regardless of their generation would do that.
Poll: which generation do you belong to?
