Thank god that the adults form the previous generation didn't fuck the economy and the housing market and made it hard for millennials to find a decent job even with college education.

[@jiveturkey2875]

Jeb Car Tell that to the people who lived through the depression. Those people found it hard to put food on the table. You find it hard to put starbucks in your belly. Millenials can't find a job, a home, a life because the past generations made it difficult? But millenials can find credit cards, iphones, and all sorts of things not need for survival, but for personal gratification. Older generations know sacrifice... It'd be in the best interest for the millennial gen to know the same. The world revolves one way... and it's not around you. Peace.. gen-x

i’m gen Z and i hate how some people say “oh i was born in the wrong generation i wish i grew up in the 80s” because they think life was just mom jeans and turtle necks. bad things happened back then, bad things are happening now. but we are SO lucky to live in a time where life expectancy is high, technology is aiding a better standard of life, and more energy efficient machines are being made. appreciate your time because you don’t get very long.

One thing that grinds my gears is how over half of jobs today require some sort of certification or degree that you have to pay for on your own. half or less of buisnesses only require a high school diploma and offer on the job training. That number was much higher when my dad was 18! Most places only needed a high school diploma and they offered on the job training with other sweet benefits, like a competitive high wage, oppurtunities to get promotions, dental and health coverage, 401(k)s... everything you would need to succeed and thrive in life! Now companies are less and less investing in their employees, and expecting employees to invest in them, to shell out tens of thousands of dollars just to qualify for the job! Let alone the fact that many other people all want the same type job, so you could potentially not even get the job of your dreams! Wasting all those tens of thousands of dollars, even for just an associates degree! That's not how I'm gonna roll. Luckily since I live in michigan alot of buisnesses are old school due to trades being still popular due to Ford and steelmills, along with construction. I'm happy those jobs still exist. ☺

[@frankm.2850]

[@kayken8393]

Being born in 2000 I suppose I fall between Gen Z and Millennials - (According to some figures I'm a millennial and to others I am a member of Gen Z) but I'd like to point out that the oldest of them is now reaching about 35 and they make up a large sum of the working population. Their working traits have actually been described by many as perfectionism and a study has shown that they're actually the most likely to not question a manager when given an order they don't agree with. I'm not even really a Millennial and I'm sick of the unoriginal jokes about how lazy and unable to function they are. Furthermore, I'm not American and even I am tired of how they are perceived. Higher Education and housing is made financially unattainable to them. Yet they're mocked by the generations that lead the world to shit? That's the peak of irony. Millennials according to many studies are even the most charitable among the generations, despite not having the same amount of money. Human nature is amazing. The younger generation will consistently be mocked by the older one and this extends back to historical times. It's not funny anymore, people are just still hopping on the bandwagon to make a cheap reused joke.

[@IgorDz]

Yeah, fuck satire! Let's ban it! It's offensive

[@kekelauren6251]

IgorD I'll get the picket signs ready 🙄

[@kayken8393]

Great. I make a comment about how lazy, unfounded and unfunny the joke is, but sure chalk it down to me being offended. Honestly, I'm just tired of the exact same joke being so re-used that there are actual people who believe it. Satire is great- you know, when it's proper comedy. (i.e. Just to let you know, satire in particular is generally clever behind the crudeness and rather ironic.) All I'm saying is that 'lazy millennials' is just an opinion really. It doesn't have a real foundation when you look at financial and social stats together. It's older people's way of trying to generalise an entire generation of people that currently extends from teenagers to people in their thirties. That's a pretty impossible thing to do. Sure, ruin the economy, the environment and then actively shit on the people that are going to have to clean up the mess. Never mind, of course, that's obviously genius, absolutely hilarious. (Actually- look at that, I found the irony: older people's hypocrisy 🙄)

[@IgorDz]

Listen, if your youtube recommendations mostly consist of bad millennial jokes, then I can understand why it makes you so salty. I'm pretty sure it's not a very common theme to laugh about. But hey, let's replace "lazy millennial jokes" with "dum radio music" and I'll jump in your boat!

[@kayken8393]

Try looking at news articles, media and facebook, it's pretty common. KZbin, certainly is not the worst, but if you looked I bet there's videos that are practically the same as this one. I mean, I'm not even a Millennial. I just think the joke is really stale. Nobody seems to have any positive things to say, despite that there's plenty of positive things about them. Can't say I can relate too much to being angry about dumb radio music, I use a Bluetooth stereo to suit my own tastes.😂

[@kraazed]

I'm a millennial, I'm a programmer, I work roughly 50 hours per week, I get paid well and have over 8 years experience and my shortest stint with one company was 1 year 9 months. I don't like instagram or snap chat. I use Facebook as a medium to keep in contact with friends, and I post an update maybe once per month. Other millenials I know, as in my friends, are similar and I probably wouldn't want a close friend who insists on taking photos of every dinner I share with them, so they can splurge it on instagram. Maybe I am the exception, but I just feel normal and I genuinely value personal contact over getting a like on a social media platform.

[@felipejans74]

I am a millenial. I absolutely love the fact of being original. I check social media every day... But I don't do it because of the numbers. I check instagram to see if there is a photographer that can inspire me to do something better than what I am doing. I check facebook to see if there is information on current controversial topics that I can share in order to make people wake up. I check youtube to learn new skills, watch useful content or just to chill a bit. After an hour, I feel like I lost a day. I like to tell my friends in person what I am doing in life and try not to post shit about every thing I eat. Maybe it is my crazy brain trying to make sense in this empty world, but I just love to be an exception, my friend. Welcome to the club.

I am a millennial, I like to work and I am very consistent person, and YES I use internet all the time, cuz allows me to interact and know this world, and this dosen’t make impossible to have a quality time with people and appreciate personal contact. YES and YES I am worried about the planet as others millennials and also Gen Z, not because we want to posted on Instagram and have plenty likes, but because we are taking conscience of the situation thanks to all the Info that is in social media (very different than the previous Generations). They make fun of us but doing that are helping us to keep pointing what we want to be pointed! Millennials are very polemic because we are the first generation that grow up with INTERNET...and when we grow up we found a very messy world. It is the fist generation that has different foundations. Old generation analyze us with their own perspectives!!!

[@MissElisabelle]

This is just a stereotype. I am a Millennial and I wake up early in the morning. I have been working hard whilst attending University, because I can't afford waking up at noon, taking pictures of my meals and having social media. I know what responsibility and sacrifice mean. To be afraid of losing your home, to see your parents struggle and no matter how much you work and study, it's not that easy. I am not special, I am an *ordinary* Millennial just like MANY others. You can bash us however you want, just like the previous generations did the same to you, and then you'll realize that we are the generation of acceptance, tolerance, love for every single being and for our planet. We refuse the legacy of pollution, violence and racism you left behind, that's why we are like this. Of course, I can't deny that many of us can't live without technology and social media, but I am an optimist person and I hope that we will find a balance someday.

I paid my way through with some help from my parents and with $20,500 of student loans and will become a teacher of mathematics. I didn’t do all that cause I’m “special” I did all that because my parents told me if I don’t bust my ass from day 1, I’m on my own for everything. Good parents aren’t afraid to be tough. Good parents tell their kids they can’t have whatever they want, they need to work to make something for themselves. I love my parents and I am forever in their debt for them telling me I’m not special. Remember this: no matter where you work, and no matter how much your manager may think you’re amazing, when you clock in and clock out, you do it using a number you were assigned in their system.

The idea that a few trophies scarred them for life is absurd, when for example, even this channel is being made socially sensitized and procrastrinized on an hour basis with hundreds of digital trophies - thumbs up, comments, quantified follower and view counts - it's like blaming a pea shooter for an atomic bomb.

The video was educational/"funny", certainly not judging but serious nonetheless. I'm quite sure there are also millennials that see what they lack in basic skills and knowledge. I could also imagine that this channel would agree that a majority of their staff consists out of millennials. So you could call that "ironic" maybe. Most certainly a conscious irony.

[@AuntKiki81]

Now, as someone who was born in 1981, I'm sort of in the same boat as millennials, but I was brought up by baby boomers AND the silent generation. Most of us born before 1985 were in the same situation where we were raised in a strict household or were still around people who are considered Gen X, either by siblings, neighbor friends or school; we've been granted the title of "Generation Next" "The Oregon Trail Generation" or "The Mod Generation." I think we are in the middle because we were exposed to technology but it wasn't a huge part of our lives; I still went outside to play, still had a work ethic instilled in me and I want nothing more than to find a career that I can boast about having for 25 to 30 years.

However its mistakes that you make in those years make you a more wise person in your forties and beyond. Imo millennials in their forties would be criticizing younger generations as has always been done.

[@bradsuarez2683]

justin case kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3fLnJewn5KrbpI You probably heard this already but isn't it so similar to what you're telling me? That men at that time took things for granted and so would end up living an unfullfilled life and broke by the time they're 65? What baby boomers and gen x criticize Mills for, they were criticized the same way by older generations. Also your last sentence is proof of immaturity and unwillingness to accept that changing time means changing circumstances for a younger generation. Why should we go work in a coal mine when there is no need for it. And FYI the platform you're using to talk to me through and other tech you use everyday is being run predominantly by Mills. Of course there are the ones that party all night and sleep all day but didn't you guys have Woodstock or some shit?

[@valoriebroderick]

I know they just are trying to have fun...But there's a serious reason I'm tired of this. I am a Millennial. I suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD) as well as severe social anxiety. I'm really struggling to stand on my own two feet. The most humiliating and painful part of my life is that I cannot seem to become self sufficient. Sometimes I have just felt so useless I've wished I could die. When I see things like this, I know people just lump me together with this stereotype. It makes my anxiety worse and I have more trouble getting out of the house. It makes me feel like everyone everywhere hates me, magnifying my social anxiety. It takes a low level of intelligence to criticize but a high level to problem solve. If the older generation is concerned with the younger generation, instead of immaturely bullying and stereotyping them, perhaps they should help. My depression is real and I only wish every day that I was better than I am. I already feel worthless, that's a symptom of depression. So what are they trying to prove? Most of my friends from college, by the way, have perfectly successful lives. I really am tired of this joke.

[@happilyhodge13]

Why is it that the generalization of millenials is that we had parents who gave us oh so much attention, told us we were special, had everything handed to us, had so much unconditional love, and never were disciplined? Are people that stupid and ignorant that they dont understand the psychology of people? One of the main reasons all of these young people feel the need to post their whole life on social media, dress inappropriately, or act like airheads is because they did NOT get attention or love growing up, nor were they properly taught anything important about life. With that said, it really isn't as dramatic as what was portrayed in this video, lmao. It's not really about the generations, it's more about the parents paired with the mentality of the kids. That's it. Glad I'm not like most of the people on this planet. Holy crow.

[@wildermidnight]

the big secret is the younger generation and the older generation will always be at odds with each other citing the same exact things over and over. the older generation will blame the younger for (among other things) being lazy and entitled. the younger will blame the older for (among other things) never having any fun and handing off a broken world. the scariest thing is eventually we become our parents. its inevitable. it comes from decades of exhausting ourselves working while making stupid mistakes. i cant even begin to tell you how many times in life i've said to myself "geez my parents were right!" when slapped in the face with some reality i did not prepare myself for. Personally what i don't like is seeing people play into the stereo types. i've seen so many kids close themselves off from learning or experiencing something great simply because they view it as something that belonged to the older generations...but as i stated those realizations come with time and growing old.

[@benflippin5070]

I’m a millennial. I spent my adulthood with a back injury, no healthcare, picking up pop bottles and change from the ground, sold all of my assets, moved 20 times, have 30 different jobs, have a degree, no crimes or violence on record, and I still get shit from older people. Older people who went to the grocery store and got a simple job, and that was enough to buy a home and support a family.

[@michaelrobins4840]

As a Father of 2 Millennials (Daughter 34 & Son 29) I find that both have very strong characteristics of the stereotypical type of Millennial portrayed in this satirical video. So whilst it may be a sweeping generalization to suggest that all of this generation fit into one particular category, there are a lot of truths in the overall depiction of this younger generation. Having said that, maybe we 'baby-boomers' need to look at ourselves & possibly conclude that our offspring are a creation of our own well-intended actions in making life as good/comfortable as possible for them right from an early age. Most of us born in the UK came into the world with the remnants of WW2 as a backdrop to our early lives. Growing up in inner-city Liverpool back in the early 60's I remember vividly how tough it was for everyone regarding work, the lack of social housing etc. But as time progressed things gradually improved, & so did our lives. We were encouraged to work hard to reap the benefits that hard work provided. & for most of us that's always been our mantra, along with making sacrifices when needed such as doing without things whilst saving up a deposit for a house etc. Because a lot of us made life easier for our kids, they never had to go through the tough stage of life in order to enjoy the nice things that life can provide. When you take an awful lot for granted, it's very difficult to be appreciative when something good happens in your life because most of your life has consisted of good things. Again I'm not generalizing, but I find a lot of other Mum's & Dad's of our age nod in agreement when we discuss the overall attitudes of our respective creations.

I never thought about this until now. When I was growing up in Austin, Texas in a small tract home in a subdivision in the 1970’s, my dad would get me and my brother up for school and feed us waffles or scrambled eggs at the breakfast table while he sat at the table smoking a couple of Marlboro’s, drinking black Folger’s or Maryland Club coffee from the Mr. Coffee maker, and read the newspaper. Then he’d get ready for work in a suit while we waited for the bus. In 2018, imagine being a parent smoking cigarettes indoors in front of their kids, reading the paper, and going to work in a suit. How often does this happen now? And our neighbors around us wore suits to work and some got their hands dirty everyday and came home dirty and sweaty. This was the American dream then whether you were a businessman or skilled tradesman, many lived in the same middle-class neighborhoods.
