The Truth About Millennials

[@RDR8933]

[@seansean3858]

GenX didn't blow every little issue out of proportion. We also didn't get bent out of shape every time we heard something that offended us, we also didn't expect everyone else to change their beliefs and behavior to suit us. On top of that, we never went out of our way to destroy a person's life simply because they held a belief, or said something, we didn't agree with.

[@crystalwalker6496]

IMHO, I think Dave Ramsey was able to sum up Millenials by saying that your generation can be divided into the self-entitled losers or “rock stars”. No in betweens. My generation - children of a self-absorbed generation. Maybe some of us became self-entitled and had the self entitled Millenials. Others succeeded in not becoming their parents and raised the rock stars. Just a hypothesis.

[@magnificentmuttley154]

@@crystalwalker6496 Very humble for you to present your p.o.v. as a mere hypothesis. But youre even more a firsthand witness of whats screwed Millennials than I am. Im a GenX parent with a 30 year old married daughter & an 18 year old son whos just starting college. My kids have been out of the nest a long time now, so by no longer being able to watch their behavior firsthand, or through their peers, I no longer know whats going on with the younger crowd. From what I HAVE seen for myself, though, youre right. Theyre either so self-absorbed that they literally WILL NOT stop staring at their phones (even when crossing a busy intersection) or else theve adopted a "diva" mentality Ive seen GenX parents unwilling to enforce "fully unplugged" times during the schoolweek, also parents that havent put their foot down to make their video game addicted children do their chores & homework. So I saw alot of slacking on the part of parents too. At the same time I blame alot of parental lax on the times we live in. How our industrial lords & masters have depressed wages so badly & brought our standard of living down to where two (Millennial or GenX) working adults cant pay the costs of living & maintain an inhabitable lifestyle. Its tough to discipline your children & spend the time they really need with you when youre usually at work. And then when you ARE home, youre too exhausted to do your job as a parent! The way I see it, THESE are the reasons so many Millennials & GenZ are screwed up

I’m 27 and I have no idea about “millennials” or generation z and stuff like that. But everything is far too expensive, and when I do spend money I don’t want it to be on mediocrity. I don’t plan to buy a house at all because the maintenance of a property is exhausting, not to mention the property tax and the mortgage that comes along with it. I already have two kids and I DEFINITELY DON’T want more. The price of child care is absolutely abysmal compared to the hard work put in for a paycheck. Places charge too much; three items ranging from a board game to an action figure ran about $50+. WHY, Toy’s r Us?! We are forced to be frugal and focus our money on the necessities and products that we actually want. Why spend $47 at a restaurant where I can buy ingredients and have what I like how I like it and have leftovers? Millennials aren’t the problem- it’s the economic state of America.

It's to prove your love and to show you make enough money to be able to support a wife. Plus it's tradition. Those fake diamonds I can spot a mile away.

[@dylanwight5764]

Gabzo, that's the philosophy of venture capitalism, but this fails to account for wage equilibrium. Wage equilibrium -- where the minimum wage maintains pace with inflation -- debunks the concept of infinite profit generation. It just isn't possible. Sadly, the wage *isn't* keeping pace with inflation, hence why venture capitalism is profitable over the longest possible time span.

[@wallysan31]

Gabzo Avro I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's just common sense at work. We have finite resources, and finite ideas, but the market is deemed unlimited in it's potential, which at it's core is illogical. There's a reason why the housing market before 2008 was unsustainable, and it was because the sheer deregulation of the industry. It's arrogant to think the market will just grow permanently. As a system, it's ok to proceed on this assumption, but as a species we have to be conscious that unlimited growth is simply impossible.

Previous generations think that younger generation are lazy, privileged, and stupid, while younger generations think that previous generations are boring, old, rigid, and unable to understand them. It's a classic parents-children relationship. So, the businesses need to grow up and adapt, stop whining that things have changed for the worst.

@Luke Drinking from Alien Titty Subsidized tuition is absolutely still a thing. There are a ton of subsidized student loans dished out every year along with subsidized scholarships, like the FAFSA, which an overwhelming number of college students apply for. And the whole retirement vacuum thing isn't an effective solution, because different generations tend to see massive market migrations. That was one of the major points of this video: Different generations have different economic demands, necessitating new markets. In the boomer generation, job markets were much friendlier towards people who hadn't gone to college, and you could usually get by fine on a high school education. Millenials on the other hand are expected to attend college, or vocational school at the absolute minimum, to even have a chance at staying in the middle class. There is no demand for granddad's job on the factory line anymore, just for the 10 engineers that replaced those 100 factory line workers. And the engineers had better have a bachelor's degree and 5 years of experience to have any hope of landing that job. But if you can find me a job where I carry heavy feed bags out of a truck that pays enough to support me through college like my grandfather did, please point me to it.

[@Cosmic-Crow]

23 106 23 106 to answer your questions in order: 1. They adapted just fine by adding carriages, competitions, etc, to make buying a horse more appealing. It was no longer the only way to get around, so the industry had to stand out. 2. Selective breeding and genetic engineering. Something I'm sure was talked about in your 9th grade biology class. 3. You can't, in this system. Horseback riding has become a luxury. It's demographic has shifted, and if companies can charge more, they will. If you wanted to lower the cost of owning a horse you'd need to lower breeding costs, building costs for stables, feed, veterinary care, etc. 4. If you would read my comment more carefully, you'd see I never said anything about people not riding horses. I said the market adapted with consumers. It's place in this current market is as a luxury sport and a hobby. And if a company is failing, maybe they simply refuse to change. Nintendo used to sell playing cards in the 1800s, but they're still around because they take risks and aren't against changing.

[@1rony230]

if you want to find someone to ready blame, its Reagan and the baby boomers for fucking up the economy, allowing stock buybacks, major deregulation, and stupid trade deals, leading to a bust and boom cycle that caused many of those crashes. The baby boomers were the entitles ones who lived during one of the best economies in history with amazing wages during their times turn around to blame later generations while they voted for short term gains and to fuck up later generation. Look at Climate change, there was proof that our carbon outputs were having an effect on the environment ever since the 90s, but the people in power (baby boomers) disregarded the evidence and continued to help the fossil fuel companies. Tax cuts, tax cuts they said, they want tax cuts, slash that 90% tax on the rich down to 37% percent they said. Allowed stock buybacks, why not, the rich needs to get richer. What came from that? Social programs are gutted, a ever increasing military budget that rivals the next ten countries put together, wages became stagnant, because why invest in the workers when you can buy back your stocks right? The companies in the US are making record profits, but our infrastructures which were once the pride of the US are now ranked a D at best compared to other countries. Infrastructure are crumbling, while we are still throwing trillions at the stupid and pointless war in the mid-east.

As far as housing goes, when I was in high school ( 1998-2001 ) the economy was in full swing, and going to college, getting a job, and buying a house was an expectation. By time I had finished college in 2005, the country was anxious and war was all we talked about. The whole country actually changed in my first quarter ( yeah, we had quarters instead of semesters at my university ) when the towers were hit. By the time I was ready to enter the workforce... there wasn't much workforce to enter. Now buying a house doesn't seem like the normal thing to do, but rather a dream that I might never achieve. We aren't failing the system... the system failed us.

The starter homes is so incredibly true... Since land is more expensive, contractors tend to build bigger homes on the same land surface so they can compensate the more expensive land for the lost profit. The starter homes could be apartments, but people won't let apartments to be built outside of cities. And in cities land costs are astronomical so they end up again having to make expensive apartments. You basically have to choose between expensive apartments and expensive houses.

The rate things are going, the next two generations won't even be able to afford rent without skimping out on or giving up other necessities. Economies like this do not last. Moron economists will say it will, and that higher wages won't help the economy, but the truth is - no one's going to be buying Xbox's, Ipads, and go on vacations when they can't afford to, and those kinds of industries will collapse as a result.

Contrary to what ur saying I personally believe smaller cities or cities with large emigration currently will either grow or rebound big time. There will be a day when Chicago’s prices drop hard because of the large emigration and it will become a cheaper destination. The market changes over time. Eventually people will start leaving the currently in demand states which will lower prices and the new cities or rebounding ones will be attractive and if becomes a cycle. The point is the populations of states in the mountain west will increase soon and the south and Midwest will be more attractive with prices either cheaper or falling, which leads to a yo-yo cycle.

It's kind of hard to get jobs, too. I was jobless for 2 years despite applying literally everywhere I could work, and one day my mom called me chewing me out and accusing me of leeching off of my parents ON PURPOSE. She literally said, "I don't understand why you just can't work as a waiter or something. I was a waiter when I was your age." Because MOM literally 40 or more people are applying for every single job! I know this because I know people that do hiring and they all told me every time a position open they get dozens and dozens of people applying! I can't just "get a job". If it were that easy, nobody would be fucking jobless. Luckily I work at Menards now.

[@marquesbowden0130]

Part of the reason why we can't get jobs is because the internet (inadvertently) killed the process: When I was younger (I'm 40 now, so I belong to this generation), I would fill an application, then go to the interview. That was an opportunity to showcase my intellect and professional skills. However, with the internet, if your resume doesn't check boxes, then they don't have to explain why you didn't get the job (or interview for that matter). The previous generations could work for 20 to 30 years with little fear of layoffs and retire. Not or generation.

Pro tip: watch the video before leaving a comment based on the title alone. Toys "R" Us went bankrupt as I was editing this video and sure enough, articles are blaming Millennials for not having more kids. Not, you know, the fact they failed to compete with Amazon and had $5 billion in debt. We've received over 200 subscribers since the last video, which means next time I post we'll hopefully have 1,000 subscribers. Thank you!! I don't currently make any money from this channel, so I appreciate all the support in the form of likes, comments, subscribing, and sharing my videos.

[@TheUKNutter]

FutureNow Nah, Toys R Us failed because of a certain KZbin channel of a little Asian kid playing with toys. Kids would rather watch a kid play with toys than play the toys themselves.

[@FutureNow]

+TheUKNutter So you’re saying a new trend emerged in the toy market they failed to recognize and adapt to. Again, it’s not the kids’ fault for wanting different things. Regardless, the toy market has actually grown even as Toys ‘R’ Us lost the share of that market they controlled and Amazon’s share of the market grew.

FutureNow Yeah I think KZbin has caused it. I have 2 siblings, 4 and 8, and they haven’t bought toys for 2 years ever since they found out about KZbin Kids. The company should have cashed out

Bradley Bowen partially true. There are much more baby boomers than millennials. (Hence the term baby boomers because they bloomed like flowers in spring.) Their money went to previous generations, and their generation. The baby boomers money is running thin. So they get more from gen x,y, and millennials. That's how it works. So millennials will be getting money from their offspeings generation. The cycle never ends

[@ishax7597]

I think that even if the video title is ironic, using it perpetuates this ridiculous stereotype of millenials. This in and of itself is problematic. Instead of going for a triggering title for views why not put a title that is a truer reflection of millenials. If you say people who are anti-millenials will click on this, watch it and change their opinions that's unlikely as they'll glance at the title and feel their opinions are reinforced. There's no incentive for those who are anti-millenials to watch this and that's a shame.

Judging by many comments I’ve received plenty of folks have watched this expecting it to be anti-Millennial and being pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised. I definitely get the criticism of the title, though.

Fun story. I used to work in a franchise packing and shipping store. One day my boss decided to retire and he sold his store to a baby boomer who immediately doubled our prices, got pissy at people when they saw the prices and walked out, got visibly angry when he felt people werent spending enough, and was all around lazy and unprofessional. Eventually people stopped coming to our store altogether at which point this baby boomer decided to blame his employees (mostly millennials) for and i quote “being too nice to people who arent spending enough money”... didnt take long for all of his employees to quit leaving him without a single person who knew what they were doing. All the stores this baby boomer took over are now empty buildings... and that is the story of baby boomers and millennials. The baby boomers have been greedy narrow and short sighted fuckwits running everything they touch straight into the ground by being excessively greedy and self centered.

The term killing the real estate industry is a little outlandish. People are still renting and need a place to live.

[@robroux6074]

no wrong. Immigration from India and CHINA is ridiculously high they number in the 1.2 and 1.3 billion and they are legally entering the US , hyperinflating our housing market. Even if we do create more housing, the populations double with children and immigrants children. If you've seen what's happened to EUROPE and their refugee crisis, that is foreshadowing for the US. As well as CALIFORNIA,Seattle and Portland; California is showing why OBAMA's cheap credit and education for all , is the spoke on the wheel that will cause the next ECONOMIC crash in the next 5 years. No Rural Town will be left. Genetrication (of all races) will destroy rural communities. Rent Base housing as in like AirBnB, that is not even a long term option. VEHICLE housing is not growing there are restrictions against it. COMPANIES, NIMBY are restricting people from parking their vechilces to sleep.there are so much LEGAL procedures against that, that make that super hard to even be thought of. Real Estate and Travel Industry are alive and as good as ever . Hold On !!!..... Then you have the Student Education DEBT Bubble that is waiting to burst in the next 2 years. Defeaults on those loans are increasing, that is a huge sign of economic stunting. To top it all off... A.I is taking over ( Uber, Google,Warehouse, ) and jobs will be super competitve. So the EDUCATION system has to get ramped up. ..to teach the next generation for new jobs. They can build a Wall whatever but also please do ban H1B1 Visas, Dreams about American retirement in Mexico are over... OBRADOR is now the president. There will be a Mexican's first policy over there now. Americans act quick now... CHINA is gaining up on you....and it looks bad once they take the lead.

[@jamie49868]

Maybe the time has come for building smaller and more affordable housing. It seems like new homes only start at 2,500sqft and 400K, which serve to drive up the smaller older homes prices. My first house was about 800sqft, which was plenty for a single guy with no kids. It served well even after marriage until kids came along. 1200sqft is plenty for a family of 4, but they sure don't build them any more.

[@ZebraLuv]

Actually the population is declining. People have no need, desire, or money to pop out six kids anymore. It used to be 12 kids, half would die, the boys went to war, the girls got pregnant and they all worked the farm. No farms, no drafts, longer life expectancy, social shifts on acceptable marital age, all means less need to breed. Some places the low population is becoming a problem.

[@ZebraLuv]

Rusty Gears Yes, but globally the population as a whole is declining. 7 billion and getting smaller. Feel really bad for Europe and Japan they seem to be taking the hardest hits. Can't blame the Chinese because they don't have enough females to keep their numbers that high.

It comes down to disposable income. We get paid less than previous generations so we spend less and look for more ways to save. Some of these dying businesses I would've considered using but they're luxury items that I don't need. And I need to save money. If I can plan ahead why would I have children before I could afford to pay for them? Productivity has gone up but pay hasn't. The wealthy are making more than ever. The profit split has simply changed. People can't spend what they don't have. If this continues the economy will stagnate. This is why they're hellbent on cutting regulations because it's the only way they can make more money since people are spending at their limits. It'll reach a tipping point and the regulations will be forced to return. They'll do their best to skew or delay but in the meanwhile they'll have made several fortunes so they'll still have that wealth to buy themselves out of illegal or uncomfortable situations. We've simply made them more powerful and influential than before.

Just ran across this well made video. I don't believe millennials are killing anything. The video does a great job at acknowledging that markets are changing. However what's always left out is the effects of growing technology has on our view of the world. Today, there are more reasons NOT to go to places. We don't have to go to multiple stores and shops to compare prices and products when we have the internet at the ready. Why wait in long lines when we can get the best price shipped to our doorstep in 2 days or less? We don't have to rent videos when we can stream it wherever we are? Competition isn't that new mall or department store in the area, it's everywhere. The world that the millennials grew up in and the way it continues to evolve, it's up to past generations to understand the change and evolve with it. The story isn't the new generation ruining everything, it's a story of the older generation resisting change and that's the story as old as time.

Just as consumers flocked to WalMart and shut down Main St., people are flocking to Amazon and shuttering the malls. That's all fine and dandy, it's the consumers choice, but those are jobs, and not all crappy entry level jobs that are lost for ever. Every store had an owner that paid employees, rent, taxes, and provided entry through top level jobs. Oh well, we can't complain about not being able to find work if we don't actively support business that reside in our communities because it's a hassle to go places. Peace!

[@TheHipisterDeer]

What some older businesses don't quite understand is that you can't expect everything to stay the same when everything is constantly changing around you. It's also one of the growing problems is that our infrastructure is old as shit and slowly decaying which leads to multiple problems while everything else just keeps changing.... You know it's like these businesses expect people to have flying cars now but if you don't put any investment into your actual workers (aka payraises) then then nothing will change and it will eventually collapse on itself. Like the economy is just so fucked.... How do you expect a person to buy a house on a pathetic minimum wage job? Even if they get a bank loan they are going to be paying for morage for around 30+ years that's a long time and a lot of shit can happen during that time. Not to mention there is the need of a car, need of insurance, need of basic necessities like food and water..... How do you NOT expect this generation to live in an apartment or with their parents?
