Millennials Discuss The Most Annoying Stereotypes About Their Generation

For the past several years, the media has dubbed Millennials the lazy, entitled, 'snowflake' generation who go around killing entire industries with their discriminating taste. Despite the fact that Millennials are now between the ages of 25 and 40, they still get blamed for things like Covid-19 super-spreader events on college campuses. With how generously the term gets used as a general pejorative, you'd think 'Millennial' could just mean 'youngish person who I don't like.' Well many are sick and tired of taking crap from out-of-touch people who seem to consider their own generation to be completely blameless. One redditor asked the internet to vent about the most annoying stereotypes about Millennials they've heard, and the replies are pretty spicy. If you're a disgruntled Millennial who's over all the slander, these top responses from the Reddit thread will probably resonate with you.

Font - Omega-10 · 3d 7 Awards I hate that millennials get pinned as being addicted to their phones. Like, always behind a screen and not interacting with the real world. I for one try really hard to have good phone etiquette and what l've noticed is, boomers can be really bad at this. Some of the older people in my office and family are the worst offenders when it comes to texting at the table or just checking out on social media. Reply 5.1k

Font - werewolf3five9 · 3d 3 Awards That we don't take our jobs seriously. I had to sit my peer (55+) down and tell him that the millennials he was bitching about were the same age as the "very qualified and mission focused" person he's been working with for the past decade.

Font - ClvrNickname · 3d 3 7 Awards The stereotype that a lot of millennials are struggling with money because they're "lazy and entitled" is ridiculous. Look at the average wage vs. the cost of rent, health care, and higher education now, vs. what it was a few decades ago. Boomers had it far easier than we did but act like our generation's struggles just boil down to a lack of hard work. Also, the "participation trophy" meme, aside from being largely bullshit anyway, raises the question: whose

Font - 12ed11 • 3d A 2 11 Awards I'm getting really tired of hearing about us lying around expecting handouts and not working. Especially when it's a situation where the person saying it is standing in a room with a lot of millennials, all of whom have jobs, which is every single time l've heard this said in real life. Like, who here is lying around doing nothing? Whose your example? Oh it's your neighbour's best friend's cousins son, he doesn't have a job and lies on the couch all day. Okay. Re

Font - ksk3 · 3d 6 Awards as an american, its basically that we're inheriting a system that nobody trusts us to run. all the people who represent us are 2-3 times older than us, the older generations are refusing or unable to retire which is preventing us from actually entering the job market.

Rectangle - cats 3d 3 Awards It's actually interesting, imo. We've got to have one of the most discriminating tastes of any generation in a long time. We just don't settle for shit we're not happy with if there are other options that suit our tastes better. And what does that mean? Sorry cable, streaming is better. Sorry garbage chain restaurants, smaller niche restaurants are better. Sorry napkin industry, I've got a roll of paper towels. Sorry Harley Davidson, I've never seen nor do connect wi

Font - missmeowwww• 3d 5 Awards In my office if you finish the arduous tasks you are given early, they just expect more work. They don't care about the quantity or quality just that you punch in for 8 hours a day. Now that I work from home, I have a much better balance because no one can see me fucking around when I finish my tasks early. Just because it takes me four hours to do what takes my boomer coworkers eight hours to do, doesn't mean I should have to do more than them. I currently have t

Font - fancy-free · 3d 1 Award 1981 here. The stereotypes are amazing. Every time I hear an insult aimed at "millennials" I'm amazed (and amused) that anyone thought it was an insult. An entire demographic dedicated to making sure everyone is doing something they believe in, that we all get the support we need, and putting Applebee's out of business? I'm honored to be counted among them on a technicality. Reply 1.4k
