It's sad how much Mental Fu people do to say that they are not a millennial.


It's the most pervasive case of No True Scotsman argument going around at the moment. Nobody is a millenial if they're doing ok. If they're not doing ok they're everything that's wrong with people born in the 90s!

Because what you personally feel

Who made the topic?

It's clearly not just my feelings. No one debates over who is a boomer and who is gen x beyond those on the boundaries.

Yet millennials people do because the use doesn't match definition.

The point of the topic is to point out how stupid it is to assign vague personality traits to an entire population of people born in a 30 year timespan and then only selectively use that definition whenever it suits, but never when it doesn't.

When someone becomes a successful entrepreneur, they're not called a millenial. When they join the army or get a career in finance or buy a home they're not called a millenial. But they go out for avocado toast and struggle to get a career going by their 30s and suddenly it's everything wrong with young people today.

And yeah, it is stupid to assign the same way of thinking to boomers and gen x, but it's not boomers and gen x that are in the news every day at the moment with a new "here's another thing they're ruining" article.

Your own wiki link shows 80s to 90s, but now it's a 30 year gap? And I've never used success or failure in any part of my statements. You can't debate what's written so you need to create a fictional person making a made up argument to counter.

You are trying way too hard, you are a millennial, get over it. Just because the media portrays us in a certain light does not make it so, stop being so offended by it.

If I was offended I'd be going for pinky's argument of stop generalizing. I'm not offended and couldn't care less what you define me as. I've stated what millennials refers to when it's used and what people think of when the term is used.

TC, the term has since evolved into something different from its literal and technical definition. It describes bad young people, not all young people entirely. It's like me making fun of nerds while me being a nerd myself.

The term millennial was coined before the 90's to describe 80's and 90's born.

The word has connotations associated with it, but I'm still called a millenial based on my age, regardless of my actions.

Generational cutoffs are weird. Someone that's just 3-5 years older than me is a different generation, but someone 20 years younger than me is the same generation? It's really arbitrary.

Is it so hard to accept that the word has now evolved into a pejorative term that some young people don't want to identify with? Should we make up a sub-genre label for millennials who don't fit the stereotype? God I hate you nerds some times. Words can evolve.

I thought that was supposed to be Gen Y? Whatever happened to Gen Y? Did they all die? Did humanity erase that from history? I mean Gen Y was a thing at one point, right?


millenial and gen y
are the same thing,
though they used to be different afaik.
