I liked a millennial. He didn't like me back. I got over it.

I have two other millennials who are very dear friends. This intergenerational warfare bullshit is just stupid.

Raw water

Taking pictures of food.

Safe zones aren't too bad. Non-existent when I was growing up. Not for any trans purpose, but a place to go to escape from so much nonsense.

Raw milk.

Post mates

Avocado toast

Being 'queer' instead of straight

Lots and lots of WWs are headed r25's way.

Killing Brown people overseas (it proves a politician can make Hard Choices)

Unprotected sex

Dumbass r27 couldn't even find her way to the right thread.

Hahaha. Those idiots with their fermented foods. Fuck that, I’ll take colon cancer and steak and potatoes any day! Don’t talk to me about “gut bacteria” and how it may control the brain as opposed to the other way around. Fermented foods are for faggots.

And don’t give me any of This shit about fresh eggs. I want my eggs laid by chickens sitting in filth and feces, which I don’t need to worry about because of all the anti biotics they’re on.

Finally I’ve about had it with these non drivers. My grandpa’s generation didn’t dismantle Reliable public transportation just so the kids in 2018 could work to rebuild it. Grandpa’s generation knew The only way to have a healthy vibrant American car manufacturing economy was to force people to buy cars. And that has worked out awesome for everybody—More Americans than Ever are building cars and it’s not like global warming is going to impact anyone I know

Intergenerational warfare is hilarious. Keep it going.

You can tell OP is at least 70 and your proverbial old man shouting at the clouds. Hahaha

Sigh, I miss the late 90s Portland, Or. Fuck the hipster millenials that dress like they've been chopping wood when, in reality, they couldn't hold an axe.

I'm not an elder gay, just miss the Portland of my youth.

I can't believe no one said it yet: manbuns!

R61, pre-Nirvana-success Seattlitite here, ditto.

R27 was like a study in tacitly misogynist, homophobic, triggered BernieBrohood. Fuck off.

Trips to Iceland

Second on craft beer. Ugh. Everyone MUST have opinions on 500 craft beers and later start a microbrewery in their garage, or they aren't truly living!

[quote] You can tell OP is at least 70

Don't kid yourself. OP is 100% absolutely Gen X. Bank on it!

Covered in ugly tattoos, piercings.

Has anyone mentioned a chicken coop in the backyard? Ugh.

Pit bulls.

Co-opting things that previous generations had always done as a matter of course, like baking bread or growing a vegetable garden, then acting like it's a totally new concept and proclaiming it "artisanal."

Trips to Tulum

Burning Man

Trips to Marfa

Cold Brew Coffee

Bone broths

Matcha tea incorporated into everything

Did someone mention craft beer?

A lt of the things listed are pretty cool.

Believing in kooky theories, ie. that sexuality is fluid and there aren't discreet categories like gay and straight. Sorry, hon. I am 100% gay. I have never had sex with a woman and never will.

I wonder how many antivaxers are millennials.

Damn. DL HATES millennials!

Some of this is true, but most of it's only true of hipsters.

Posting photos of " LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE!" everywhere.

Mommy and Daddy are my BEST FRIENDS.

I've never known a single millennial who considers their parents their best friends, R79.

r80 he probably means how they post videos and Instagram photos with their parents filled with hearts and love sonnets etc. It's moreso the girls that do it with their moms who are also desperately trying to stay young.

"Millennial" is also only a new term that started becoming ubiquitous in pop culture around 2013, maybe 2012. For years, they didn't know how to label us, trying to pin Gen Y on us, but that never stuck. Then around 2012/2013, there was this millennial moniker which spread like wildfire.

That's hilarious, R81.

Yes, it was first known as the "Me" Generation (and then later, Time labeled it the "Me Me Me" generation).

That article was from 2013, R83, right around the time journalists and marketing specialists started in on the millennial term overkill, just as I remembered. In general, I agree with some of the criticisms of my generation — especially vapid narcissism and being perky automatons. A lot of the criticism in 2018, though — living at home with parents, not working, not getting married or having kids — is outdated now.

The "Me Generation" book was from 2006 (later updated in 2011 or 2012), and I wasn't disagreeing with you, nor do I really care when the term "Millennials" was uttered, although you seem to, for some reason.

Then you must be blind, r80.

Actually R85, as a side note, I do have a thorn in my side about the term millennial, because it makes little sense as it's applied to my generation (people born from 1981 to 1996, roughly, give or take, depending on who you ask). It would have made much more sense applied to babies born around the actual turn of the millennium, IMO.

Well, you're a Millennial, it's to be expected you'd nitpick about [italic]something[/italic] in this thread.

HA, r88! Good one.

[quote]Fermented foods are for faggots.

Then you must be eating tons of them, hon.

I guess I'll just have to deal with the term, R88 — which is another criticism I have about my generation. A reluctance to cope head-on with things. We prefer avoidance, which IMO, has some bad and good qualities.

Refusal to ever ACTUALLY SPEAK ON THE PHONE.

Which of course goes to that avoidance issue r91 talks about. And makes it easier to “cut out those negative people in your life.” Because only people who tell you your life is #goalz 24/7 are your real friends - everyone else is “toxic.”

To be fair, a lot of older people have picked up on these habits, too.

"Always be hustlin" as a mantra.

Millenials, please get on board or just go the fuck away (and take your peanut allergies with you)!

I admit, R92, I'm a millennial who loves cutting negative people out of my life. I don't surround myself with 'yes' men either, though.

So much misunderstanding across all three generations. Wow!

All I know is that a lot of the millennial and Gen X tension is work related. When Boomers finally do retire after logjamming the top, if they ever do, there is going to be lots of hair pulling.

Millennials start threads like "Who is your favorite serial killer". Disgusting.

Clearly they are monsters.

Talk on the phone with the speakers up. I don't know if is a millennial think, but is annoying and rude.

That is all based in ATTENTION SEEKING which they are OBSESSED with.

I feel like I should hug a millennial instead of hate a millennial 😘

We used to call that the library.

R103 before you hug that millennial, makes sure they’re not an introvert. Because apparently they discovered that too.

Another young guy with ridiculous tattoos - dukethedude from chaturbate. You have to see him on cb to appreciate how bad his tattoos are. This pic doesn't do them justice.

What’s worse is there are more of them than boomers so their influence is gonna last a long time.

IMHO, vinyl records will always be cool.

However, why do people under 50 buy those stupid crappy PLAYSKOOL record players? It defeats the purpose of buying the more expensive, superior sounding vinyl!
