Millennial is an alternative name for Generation Y.
A generation is generally agreed to be about twenty years: Baby Boomers (40s & 50s), Generation X (60s & 70s), Millennials (80s & 90s), Generation Z (00s & 10s).
The three main defining attributes that Millennials have, seem to be: firstly that they have grown up taking technology for granted, secondly that they have grown up in a world where there are no consequences for bad behavior and thirdly that they have been told they can do whatever they like in the world as there are no winners or losers.
The former meaning that they are first generation who spend more time inside than outside doing something constructive. Advancements in entertainment technology and (half arsed lazy parenting from Generation X parents) has meant Millennials have grown up in bedrooms with their own TVs, stereos, laptops and game consuls. this has made the threat of "I'll send you to your room" moot, as there is no place the Millennial would rather be.
The later is more serious; due to the continual growth and proliferation of the ridiculous concept of "Politically Correct", Millennials have grown up; not being spanked at home (in most cases), not receiving any real punishment at school and even in the criminal justice system receiving derisory sentences.
The last has created a generation of "Special Little Snowflakes", who seem to think they can do what ever they want and are prone to tantrums if they don't get their own way. university.

I see the Millennials are crying about Brexit, a bit rich considering most of them didn't even bother to vote.

The generation after Gen X and before Gen Z; basically, born in the 1980s or 1990s(about 1979 - 1999). These dates aren't hard boundaries, but general guidelines. Millennials were growing up around the turn of the millennium (2000) and we're typically in our 20s and 30s now (2019).

People who are addicted to there phones have no idea what a real conversation is. They believe what social media says and tweets on twitter.

Millennials represent the generation born 1981-1996. They are best known for feeling entitled without accomplishing anything useful; being whiny, impatient, and useless; hunching over their devices (for that 90-year-old's posture), hating anyone over 35 and age discriminating like mad; instituting miserable practices such as waiting in queues for 2 hours for some rubbish ice cream, boba tea, or other trendy nonsense. In other words, they are the new Baby Boomers, come back to further destroy the planet.
Some millennial told me to go to Brenda's Soul Food for brunch. I went and the wait for 2 was 5 fucking hours. Everyone else there was a stupid millennial hunched over their phone or taking selfies. What a fucking nightmare!

A term coined from The Good Place season 2 episode 4, a "millennial" is someone who's only been torturing people for a thousand years.
"I worked so hard on my torture ideas, and theirs are so basic. These millennials, they have no work ethic." (The Good Place S2E4 1:00-1:20).
