We're actually a pretty okay generation to be honest. We are cool headed, easy to talk to, and
pretty open minded.
Yes, we have our flaws. Sure, we
may not be QUITE as outdoorsy as the baby boomers were growing up, but I know for fact that we, along with Gen X, were a hell of a lot LESS ridiculously rebellious than the baby boomers were.
They complain that we're not even as politically engaged as we should be... unless, of course, we unquestioningly agree with all their politics. And yet we get shit for that as well. Too
liberal, yet not political enough? Dafuq lol? Not to mention that politics in general is a very trashy, childish field designed for
people who couldn't make something productive out of their lives.
That
definition by Mr. SnowmanPants is utter
bull. We lack common life skills and hardware? Then PLEASE tell me why older generations like Boomers keep bitching about the top engineering and tech companies like Google hiring us in droves and pushing out baby boomers?
And most importantly, why do we constantly need to even be labeled this much in the first place?
Mark Zuckerburg anyone? Millennial, creator and engineer of
Facebook, one of the greatest communication networks of today? And contrary to popular beliefs, no we do not just live in our
parents house forever. We just stay there until we're financially independent, which is hard to be in this economy (thanks Baby Boomers).
No, millennials are not perfect. But we certainly don't deserve the ten kinds of shit that Baby Boomers LOVE to talk about us without even stopping to take a very good critical look at themselves. It's kind of
amazing how jackassed they can be when you think about it :)
