Millennials Is Such a Stupid Label.

Very well laid-out. Too much is happening at once, too aware of changes in technology in a short amount of time. The last two decades are harder to pin down or define because of this development. It might end up being like the Baby Boomers, with two phases.

The first being, the post-war boomers, those born in the mid 1940s and early 1950s, whose parents are most likely to be the people who directly endured World War II in some capacity. Then, there's the "Generation Jones" Boomers, who rejected the traditional societal values of their parents, having been born into more pleasant economic conditions going into the 1960s when the middle grew class exponentially.

I spent the first 8 years of my childhood without the internet, and learned to appreciate how far we came when it came to advancement in communication.

It's not the title "Millennial" or Generation Y that bothers me. It's the fact that everyone out there labels those from my generation in a negative light. All they ever pay attention to are the whiny, spoiled, lazy, liberals born in my generation, and then lump all the rest of us in there with them, bringing about the stereotypes I loathe and despise that people have heaped on my generation. I don't appreciate being labeled like that.

Yeah, I was 13.5 when the Year 2000 came around. Yes, I was born in the 80s. But I learned a long time ago that the universe didn't revolve around me, and society doesn't owe me anything. Yes, I live with my family, but that is due to economic reasons while I'm training to become a major contributor to society (and believe me, my job is going to be integral to the medical field). And no, I have never voted Democrap, and don't ever expect me to.

Man, who cares about labels anyway. The other night I was hanging with a 25 year old kid. He was awesome. Knew a lot about real life, music, and history that happened outside of his life span. The kid knew good music; Allman Bros, early gangster rap, etc. The kid had great taste in music and didn’t act like an entitled shit.
Just don’t act like a silly twot and you won’t be labeled as one. Labels that others put on you mean absolutely nothing anyway. It’s how you carry and conduct yourself. Who cares what people think as long as you are happy with yourself at the end of the day and can go to sleep at night knowing you’re a good person that didn’t hurt anyone else. These are the things that matter. Whining about being labeled incorrectly makes you sound like a millennial douchebag😉

usually it is the older generation that does not like the younger one, let us not be surprised when that always turns out to be true. This was the case with my parents too, and their parents, when they were little and rebelling in the 60's. The newer generation from the last 30 years are definitely rebelling against what was before, unconsciously usually, it is just a change.

Gen Z hate the “iGen” label.

Marketers hated GenX, and GenY was shaping up to be another small group not much different so marketing gurus invented millennial so they could define it and tell people who they are in order to better sell to them and it worked. In reality millennials are at least 2, if not 3, distinct groups.

What comes after milennials? if millenials are the ones who were just turning into adults in 2000ad , then there should, by now, be a whole bunch of 19 year olds born 2000
Are they millenials too?
some would say yes , as they think millenial means 'born 2000' , not 'turned 18 in 2000' so we seam to be stuck with both definitions , giving this "generation tag" a span of about 40 years , which is a little bigger than normal.

those early 80's millennials still think they're young and hip too lol
