Love, Master of None, You’re the Worst and Man Seeking Woman are among the shows that keep suggesting that young people simply can’t get it together.
Well, before Millienials was even a word defining a group of people, HBO already did it with Sex and the City. I think in general, people like watching people who are looking for love and making mistakes and screwing up while trying to get it right. It's not a new concept.
Maybe poker's just not your game, Ike. I know, let's have a spelling contest.
Because functional people are boring, and I think people enjoy either relating to dysfunctional people, or feeling better about their own functionality when watching characters whose lives are a mess.
shareThey are dysfunctional, immoral and generally idiots.
Its just a truthful portrayal. Dev is actually a decent guy though, the problem is he was born into a generation of *beep*
Oh,please---practically every generation has said the same dann thing about the generation after them. You're not saying anything new that hasn't already been said. Also, a few shows about millenials doesn't define an entire generation. And on top of that, there's been dysfunctional people in every generation---the dysfunction just gets handed down from one generation to the next, that's all. Like old clothes and heirlooms,or whatever.

Every generation has some kind of dysfunction. Millennials' dysfunctions are more obvious than others because of the dominance of technology & the internet, access and millennial's lack of history to how things were prior to their existence. Things like pay & rotary dial phones, encyclopedias, blind dates, letter writing, writing in cursive, etc are totally foreign concepts to most millennials. Just the idea of waiting longer than 30 seconds for a response to something is enough to make them consider it a lost cause or a "fail".

"I think it's more b/c the generation before them were ignorant and insecure and like pointing out other people's flaws b/c they have so many of their own. "
Insecure? No. We enjoy the modern technology as much as anyone. We just realize how dependent millennials have become on the tools of their generation. Things hadn't changed for me that much from the generation before mine. By the dawn of personal computers and the internet up to today though, technology leaped forward monumentally.
"And they should be. Those things became irrelevant years ago."
Yes but many of the concepts and principles of learning also died with those things. Let the internet and wifi die tomorrow and watch the half the world go into complete chaos. Well the millennials anyway...

They probably said the same thing about slavery when people were trying to abolish it.
