Millennials are now approaching their mid-40s.

Frustrated Old Millennial Rant

Why are old Boomer journalist and Generation X journalists still writing and publishing articles on millennials like we are freaking teenagers or 20 year olds something?

Is it deliberate or is it pure ignorance?


EDIT:
Your take on this scapegoating ?

EDIT 2:

- Millennials (Gen Y) are born between the year 1980 -1996.

- Zoomers (Gen Z) are born between 1997-2012.

its infantilization
they write like that because you're meant to think and act like a child even as an adult. look at pop culture now. adult cartoons, adult yummy yum sweety sweet cereals (remember cookie crisp???? WELL ITS BACK!!!!), adults can play with toys too!!! omg look cool collectible figurine!!! this is an ADULT superhero movie btw VERY MATURE. omg pokemon cards SO valuable!!

when in reality millennials should be one of the angriest generations. born too late to do anything, born to soon to be around when things start to get better. the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ generation. the forgotten generation. shut up and watch your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rick and morty.

it's not just new toys... watch some pawn stars and check out how much old toys go for lol...

it's a bunch of old people who got rich and are trying to live the youth they gave up for that wealth and success.

There is a notable change in perspective and publicly expressed maturity with your cohort. Most of it is just confirmation bias, but there is a certain airing of things that have traditionally been private. I really shouldn't/don't want to know about the current state of my millenial cousin's sex lives.

Just be glad they are even noticing. The war generation (i refuse now to call them the greatest, screw that) didn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about the Xers and later, except to yell at them to get off their lawn and to hurry up and get jobs to pay their pensions.

As far as boomers....well boomers are boomers, ya know?

Why do these numbers change every time someone posts them?

I guess it's just normalcy bias. Nobody gets up and runs to the window astonished that the sun has risen.

Don't put people in the same age gap as millenials, oO

There are totally differences between us.

Age is a Number in modern Days so why do you call Boomers old? This makes you a Bommer as well…..which still lives in the Past

Seems inaccurate with the dates even though wikipedia seemingly agrees.

Millenial should be from 2000 onwards and generation should be a forty year span.

But the dates and the labels are butchered to 15 year mark in some cases and wholly inconsistent in others.

Even wikipedia says it should be a 20-30 year span for a generation. Whatever makes one feel special I guess.

Its somewhat artificial like farming the next stock of chickens to be processed and served. Neglects the older generations pre World War 1 and would be laughable to go try to give them each a name and ascribe circumstances that are drastically different every fifteen years.

I guess you could remember back to when this was briefly discussed perhaps in your schooldays and again feel special, but human history is a chain of infinite events and we would be nowhere without those that came before, and made everything, easier, or at least more positive.

I mean ya, a generation is literally about how long it takes a human to become sexually mature, find a mate, and bare children... so about 20 years.

and historically that was good enough... but there was jut so much progress in every way from the 80s to the 90s to the naughties... it doesn't work so well anymore.

you can hardly even compare 2010 to 2020 ffs... remember DVDs? or like literally any physical media? I bet your parents do... if you have older siblings they might even remember blockbuster!
