Everyone’s going to be using millennials as a punching bag forever aren’t they? People are never going to leave us alone and let us rot in peace, are they? What the fuck did we do aside from be depressed and poor?

I know my grown ass shouldn’t care about this kind of thing, but I just hate being lumped into this caricature that was wrong even when boomers invented it like 20 years ago.

The “gen alpha bad” stuff is cringe too. Let the kids 67 in peace.

    Before that we had millennials hating their own generation and other millennials hating millennials for hating their own generation. “Le wrong generation”

    Then we had media proclaiming that millennials are killing _ and are buying lattes and avocado toast instead of houses. They have since moved on to zoomers. These articles where often write at the economist or similar, so probably a conscious to stifle class consciousness.

    Ok boomer sort of is an artifact of the Bernie campaign.
