Millennials right now are at the same point Boomers were in _____?

Except millennials have created precious little of value.

early 80s

Never?

Chevy Chase looks hot there.

the point of marriage and having first children

Do the math.

We have better drugs.

What is Chevy wearing?

Doing the math, Millennials in 2020 are at the same point Boomers were in 1985, i.e. when they were long past being hippies and into being go-go 80s Reaganaut yuppies.

Culturally, like the 1970s.

I mean the 2010s for millennials was like the 70s for boomers.

I hated every second of the 2010s.

The Boomers hit the 1970s "Me Generation" years when they were already well into careers and raising families, while Millennials delayed both and, on average, make less (adjusted for inflation) than Boomers. They also have student loans to pay off on top of making less.

I think that's why so many of the selfish, vapid types during the 2010s version of the "Me Generation" weren't Millennials as you would expect, but instead were literally children, Zoomers who had a little disposable income from their parents. Millennials couldn't go spend their paycheck on coke and bribing doormen on the weekends like Boomers did.

R12 It gets better. This is your decade. Hang in there

Millennials are quietly catching up.

They might be, it'll be interesting to watch.

I'm worried that the 2020s will be even more insufferable than the 2010s were, though.

Baby boomers did not really take over until the mid Bill Clinton Newt Gingrich 90s, and at that point, they were all in their 40s.

That young politicians like Mayor Pete and Tulsi are entering into the conversation this early on is probably proof that millennials will be a factor even earlier on.

Millennials are behind the tech boom: everything from Twitter to Uber.

So they most definitely have made their mark.

So they're going to become sellout fascists now?

R19 I hope not, but possibly

Block thread impulse kicked in immediately after reading “Millennials”.

Doing it now.

I was thinking that about Belushi..

^^in response to R4

Kindergarten, OP.

Millennials will be power hungry

OP is correct.

Nose candy decade

RIP Gilda.

I feel like we’re back in the early 70’s. A corrupt president, uncertain future with nukes, shitty ecology, withdrawing from a bullshit war that we spent a fortune on for nothing. Sound familiar?

Very late 70s.

Or 1980, 81.

1980

the baton passing moment apparently.

How do you figure?

R7 You don't have Quaaludes .

R34 Pure MDMA Molly plus Pills that will keep your dick hard . Purer coke

Why does everybody think there are only two generations?

R17 is correct. I'm sick of the revisionist math which claims Boomers have been in charge since the '60s.

Different eras.

1983

OP They actually look a lot like Millenials.
