>2016 is on pace to be the worst year for movies—by tickets bought per U.S. adult—since the 1920s. What’s going on?
>But Hollywood’s young fanatics are getting less fanatical by the year. The good news is that Americans younger than 18 and older than 40 are actually watching more movies than they were five years ago. But the most important demographic to Hollywood, 18-to-24-year-olds, is also abandoning movies faster than any other group.
>What are these young people watching if they’re not going to the movies? Well, they’re not watching more pay-TV television. They’re not reading more newspapers. Their attention is pouring into mobile devices and apps, like Netflix and premium cable apps (where many Hollywood auteurs have decamped), YouTube, Facebook, and Snapchat. In the last five years, as young people have trickled away from movies, mobile has taken attention share from every other major category.

Millennials can't read. They're the porn generation, yet not a single one, male OR female can catch a load of jizz to save their miserable life. That only leaves 62 genders un-named.

Most Millennials are so fucking retarded they don't even know they're Millennials.

The few who do know insist they're so super special that their birth year should be it's own extra super special generation.

We should give the Millennial name to Gen Z, and call those born between 1980 and 2000 the Snowflake generation.

Its sort of retarded to lump everyone 34-36 years and younger (yeah I've seen metrics that claim 1980 kids are millenials) into one camp like that.

This post was such an example of a millennial it deserved a repost.

The Greatist Generation was born between 1901 and 1924. 24 years. A long generation.
Those born early in that generation grew up before automobiles, telephones, airplanes, and fucking electricity. Those born late grew up after WWI.

But, you're super special because you played Frogger instead of WoW.

Millennials are fucking cunts.

The last time I went to the movies was whenever Yugi-Oh movie came out, I was hungover on a saturday morning looking for a dark cool place to drink hair of the dog.

This is why Millennials are cancer.

Exactly why is 34 more better than 35 or 33? Or 25, which is also a Millennial?

Born between 1980 and 2000?
You're a Millennial.

Still a Millennial.

I know this sounds pathetic, but 'Millennial' is a state of mind.

I know this is difficult to believe for soneone who grew up getting trophies for being speshul, but before the cancer that is you, only one kid got a trophy.

Millennials are a special kind of cancer.
>>
Younger people are more interested in social media and video games. Just doing something more interactive. Maybe it involves the shorter attention spans.

Unless there is a large amount of spectacle involved, I guess people don't see much of a reason for seeing a film in theaters when they can wait two or three months and watch it digitally from the comfort of their. For some even less time than that.

>>76599822
Millennial is mostly a western thing. A Slavic childhood is not the same as an American one. You're not really millennial if you from exYugo or exUSSR. The cultural circumstances are too different.

I came to US from Ukraine 15 years ago as a kid after being born in USSR and raised in Shock Therapy Ukraine - - American kids all looked like retards to me compared to Slavs if the same age. They grew up into retards, also. Yugos saw some shit in the 90s too. It's the spoiled shits whose stressors are microaggressions, TV sexism, homophobia and "trying to be an adult" at 26.
>>
>>76600233

True, Slav kids do tend to be less spoiled, due to circumstances they grow up in.
But make no mistake, even if they're dirt poor and starving, if someone sells them the idea of American Dream, they'll buy it.
I grew up in a middle class commie block, and I never lacked anything in the material sense. Some of the kids I used to play wanted to be Americans and to act like them. But back then, that meant riding skateboards and wearing glowing sneakers and shit.

Anyway, the point is to have a fucking brain and have (at least one) decent parents to guide you through the early life.

>thinking Gen Z will be better

>>76599727

I was born in 88 and I had dial up until 2001-2002. I am a millenial. The generational spectrum always gets frayed at the edges: "baby boom approximately between the years 1946 and 1964." means someone born in 48 who was in their teens in the hippy heyday is the same generation as someone who is 6 years old in 1966. The former could be fighting in Vietnam while someone else is going to pre-school. Likewise

At best you can argue the early 80s is the tail end of gen X, but doing so because you steadfastly don't want to be labeled a millennial rather than because you are clinically considering the cultural and ideological factors at play marks you as the stereotypical special snowflake "le born in the wrong generation" Millennial. I'm not really sure any prior generation has so widely practiced that 'born in the wrong generation' bullshit. Gen X didn't, Boomers didn't, silent generation didn't, Greatest didn't.


What Ukrainian said >>76600396
>>
>Oy vey, millennials aren't watching our propaganda. Quick moishe rev up anotha holocaust movie!
>>
>>76603797

That being said a hard and fast rule of X years is not really a good rubric since it doesn't consider major cultural shifts. Think about the defining moments of those born in the 80s-90s in the west: Internet, 9-11, millennium, video games and for those into the 90s births ubiquity of cellphones/mobiles. Don't give me that "back in my day we played outside" bullshit because a child of the 60s and 70s would say that exact 100% line with regards to our generation being on their Ataris and Segas and Nintendos and computers. That 'last gasps of outdoor liberated childhood' happened in the 2000s and not overnight. It's still not entirely true though even today.

So defining millennial can be based off the impact or consciousness of the impact of those things.

80s to 90 give or take all had memory of an era before the internet (Net commercialized in 94, when people got it inevitably would be staggered. Grew up in affluent North VA and got internet at home in 94-95 or so). Up to 92-94 probably remember 'primitive' internet.

Anyone born before let's say 95 would likely have some conscious knowledge of 9-11 happening, being pulled out of school (95 would be 6 in 2001 so first grade).

88-92 you have SNES, NES, Genesis, Gameboy. 95-96 onward you have PS1 and N64 and throughout you have PC. 80 to 89 would have been more likely to experience the former.

You can be more of an 80s child than a 90s child but really only the fall of communism and school shootings in the 90s would distinguish an early 80s birther from a early 90s birther. Especially since the internet didn't become the modern youtube/facebook/myspace internet until 2004-2005.
