Are you trying to tell me something?Adurentibus Spina wrote:There are as many "entitled millenials" are there were "entitled Gen-Xers" and "entitled Boomers". In fact, there were almost certainly MORE "entitled Boomers" since they are simply a larger group of people. The "entitled youth" trope has been trotted out since there have been people of different ages coexisting (so, forever), and it's as stupid and implausible as all the other crass generalizations used to write off or disenfranchise groups of human beings.
There have been many, many, many articles in the last decade going back and forth between the standard conservative line: "The young people aren't doing things the way we did them, so something must be wrong!" and responses to the effect of: "Yeah, but .. uh... that's what always happens... different people do different things."
I agree. You would have to admit the author comes across as entitled though, whether he was a boomer or a millenial.
Hippies were the worst.............er the same...........yeah, I can totally imagine being in SF in the late 60s and going wtf is wrong with these young people. They did make a mess. But, I guess from a personal perpective, I don't understand the "cause" of the millenials. Hippies were actively against war, actively for civil rights, actively for free love and self sufficiency. That was the general glob of stuff that made history, not saying they were successful, smart or moral, just that's what I got from it.
Can you tell me what the millenials are "for" or "against" or is it to soon? And if they are like all other generations, there has to be something.......?
Wait a minute, there are more millenials than boomers. They all had kidsss......
