I reject the meaningful application of this term "millennial".
Human's strive to find order in what can seem like a chaotic world, and part of that is our creation of arbitrary generalizations like millennial. Add to that people from prior generations historically have always looked at the next generation and said "they have it easy". Right? In the end I think generational titles are perhaps most useful at creating an "us" and a "them", and that I would argue is not usually a positive distinction because we sympathize with those who we identify, and criticize and are less sympathetic for those we don't identify with.
Do 20-something's exist? Yes. Do they all share a set of traits which can fairly describe them as individuals, generally? Wow, that sounds diminishing, insulting and prejudicial, in my opinion.
Not saying this video is insulting, just trying to really push back against this idea of generational identity as a meaningful thing.
Nevertheless, love the content. Love the video. Appreciate your time.
If anyone is interested in hearing more about my argument, check out CollegeHumor's, Adam Conover's video, it is funny and informative, and about this exact topic:
“Generations are a convenient lens through which we look at people, and the question is how useful the particular lens we are using? …the thing is the categories we use tend to reveal our own prejudices and opinions about the people we are describing, so you have to ask yourself is the description we’re using actually helping us to learn or do anything at all?”
