-Millennial or Millennials
A media popularized term for a generation of people born in western culture who came to adulthood in the early 21st century.
Often confused for being tech savvy or capable in life skills, millennials are more often incapable with life skills that earlier generations are commonly more adept at, such as changing car tires, filling out paperwork, hooking up entertainment centers or reading usage agreements and contracts on websites and smart phone apps before agreeing to them.
Millennials are more often only functional with contemporary front end usage of modern technology while being confused and incapable with more practical applications and the service of hardware.
A small minority of Millennials with inherited wealth gave rise to the "gig" or "shared" economy bubble. Much of the perception of millennials centers around this minority among the generation who attain great wealth from crowd funding, confidence scam investments and inheritances that are soon squandered on unsustainable and impractical business models.
The Millennials are for the most part very deficient in common life skills, sustainability and practical capability.

I just saw a Millennial trying to change a tire and add oil to his car. He gave up after dumping transmission fluid in the oil intake and trying to jack his fender until it crumpled.

Get the Millennial mug.Generation Y has been lumped together with millennials, (as eggheadedly defined by Straus and Howe), the developmental phase of social interaction, which involved information technology's burgeoning impact on society, was overlooked. As information technology and Internet connectivity may have easily established a cohort of sorts among Internet users, Generation Y represented the crossroads between millennials who were well immersed in computer technology even as far as experiencing an institutionalization of computer education in academic curricula and Generation X members who were heavily immersed in broadcast media's influence and yet largely uninitiated in computer technology. Generation Y represents the link between the non-digital age society shaped by Generation X, as adolescents (MTV Generation), and the dawn of the Internet age that saw the transitioning of society to easily accessible online communities (Bulletin board system, MIRC, Yahoo! Groups, Internet forum) especially during the introduction of dial-up Internet access to households.
Generation Y entangled pop culture and digital community-building through bulletin board systems, online forums, website mailing groups, mIRC, ICQ, and other electronic modes of communication (which could be considered the predecessors to social media) into the digital age of today; even as most Generation X members lacked the responsiveness or the interest to immediately adopt the connective facilities offered by the Internet.

Get the Millennial mug.The generation of people born from the early 80's to the early 2000's. Also known as the best generation ever. Many people like to criticize them for being entitled and lazy, but millennials have more education than any previous generation which disproves the laziness claim. There is no strict definition for when the generation starts and ends, but people start it as early as the mid-70's and end it as late as the early 2000's. Common characteristics of millennials include their use of technology and prevalence on social media as well as a vast amount of student debt. Yay for the millennials!
