They are all self-entitled fags rasied by single mothers handing out participation trophies.
They will go down as the worst American generation ever, if they don't burn the place down.
Most of their flaws are caused by very thorough brainwashing at school college and university.

Gen x here
I believe that millennials are the first decent post-greatest generation, certainly the first that I can relate to. It's because they seem to have an interest in finding truth and make proper use of their resources so they are far less gullible than older gens.
A nightmare for dehumanizing employers, social engineers, feminazis, identity politicians - the end of mass media lie machine and false flags - the final destruction of all aspects of degenerate boomer influence. I can't fucking wait!
I love millennials!

1990 here
i think i'm still on the edge of the last generation, seeing as almost everyone born past 95-96 is an utter superficial pleb
I personally blame technology, media and jews. My 9 year old nephew sits on his ipad literally all fucking day. My 10 year old niece has a fucking galaxy S7 edge. All of my fucking why. I grew up playing with actual toys. You know, lego, power rangers, electric car track, ... I used to go out and play with the neighbor kids, shoot the shit, whatever.
Nowadays they are all so fucking fixated on their phones. Interpersonal relationships get fucked up, thank god for schools! Without those most children now would suffer a severe disability in reading social cues.
Social media turns everyone who grows up with this shit into attention seeking morons who can't wait to share that nice cool cocktail they are drinking on the beach in Ibiza. No one cares faggot, when i go on vacation i take pictures to remember things for myself.
Add to that the kike propaganda that's being spewed in their faces all day and we got ourselves a nice party. And what do millenials do? They use technology and social media to create little bubbles for themselves where they feel safe and don't have to listen to other opinions. Once again playing into the hand of the ones pushing the propaganda. This turns them into entitled fucktards.
I seriously have little hope for the future. These people will have to start businesses, sit in our government and provide jobs. Most of them can't even manage to work somewhere for longer than a year, before skipping to another job.
>>79994638
We're probably going to go through major problems because of them.
Most don't want to reproduce, most have extremely socialist views. In other words, we're fucked.
But nevermind that, I need to snapchat.
It's an odd one, they have narcissistic tendencies as in narcissists not only have a high opinion of themselves, but have an obsessive need for other people to affirm this superiority, As a result they engage in attention-seeking behavior, using things like instagram, tinder, facebook, twitter. This explains the formation of SJW's and the Alt-Right and why millennials are drawn to that attention-seeking feed back loop, through virtue and status signalling on each side. It doesn't matter if your right or wrong, or even if you know what your talking about, what matters is your getting attention.
They also exhibit this weird solipsism. For example, usually a narcissist understands that other people have needs, wants, desires etc, they just don't care, they think their own are much more important, but they can still put food on the table. Millennials it seems, have this sort of solipsism, as in they cant even comprehend that other people have thoughts or feelings, so once someone deviates from their own beliefs, regardless of how much else might be agreed upon, is ostracized, bullied, etc (this happens on both sides).
The oddest thing I find about millennials is how they are tied to no music counter culture. Gen X had Grunge. Baby Boomers had the rock n roll, Greatest generation had Buddy Holly etc, all big shifts in the zeitgeist. Millennials have no band or artist that defines them, nothing to remember them by in history. My theory is they are too self-centered for music, music movements being a sort of shared experience (Ignoring shit like rap and shit pop music, radio friendly unit shifters always existed). Instead they turn to things like their gender, sexual orientation, hair color, hoping naively that the mark they leave on the world is themselves and not something they, as a generation, contributed too.
Thanks for reading my autism.

Dont forget who raised us.
Dont forget who set the world up the way it is.
I know there is a lot of plebians floating about in my generatiom but there is a lot of good, a lot of reason and a lot of logic.
Why are you all suprised that we grew up to be so terriblw though?
We're the first generation with mainstream access to the internet, which changes everything,
Weve spent our whole lives growing up hearing about problems with the economy, terrorism, the environment and debt,
Being fed a pack of lies at every direction by the older generations.
Stop acting like you are all better when all we are trykng to do is hold the pieces together after decades of unsustainable crap.

>Is work effort different
Yes but I think this is true for almost all generations. There are still good kids out there. I consider myself one of them. Even when I was in high school, we all had summer jobs and some (including me) had jobs during school. I went to a private Catholic school, and also it was only the white kids who were working jobs
>plans for the future as they get older
I don't even know. This generation stuck on perpetual childishness. No one can cook, clean, pay their bills, run a house. I hope they wake up eventually.
>Overall how do you feel
I guess you could tell. I really dislike it. Kind of verging on hate, but I don't want to be one of those "I was born in the wrong generation" people because I know how much they are hated. The music sucks. The girls (most of them, they are still good ones) suck. Our employer all think we are retards because this generation can't seem to grow up. Everyone is obsessed with social media. Almost everyone is a sheep led by political figures that they don't even have a reason to like. It's sad

Shitty generation, but a lot of that is because they've been fed lies their entire lives, have come of age into the worst society in recent history, were raised by the worst generation of parents ever (boomers) and have been subjected to mass mind control for decades.
The worst generation is still, however, the boomers.
>>80002020
>These people will have to start businesses, sit in our government and provide jobs.
This is when their millennial behavior wears off though.
I've seen it time and time again, when they get a serious job, they act like real fucking people. It's just annoying anytime before that though.
>>80007696
One of the problems with this generation is that many of them never seem to grow up. What you say is true, very much so, but i fear that the amount of people that become "serious people" will be much lower than in previous generations.

>>80008179
You have to remember, the Internet makes a lot more of this crap visible. Gen Y has a lot of degeneracy, but we see much more of it thanks to smartphones and shitty social media. If that crap were around during the time of gen X and the boomers, we would have seen a lot of sick shit from them too (especially boomers).
The last generation that was actually good overall was the Greatest Generation.
>>79994638
'94 so I'm in the heart of it
I think we need a good panic or a real recession to fuck us up something right. I'm counting the moments until that can actually happen. The student loan bubble is bound to burst soon and then we'll test our mettle.
The Second Great Depression will change everything. We'll see if the generation can actually save or if all the wasteful spending is real. I'll find work doing manual labor somewhere feeling comfortable about my conditions. Maybe there will be a bunch of new government agencies made to put them to work that I can be involved with as well.
Millenial here, born Feb '97. Ask me anything.
Im 21 and i find that especially the post war wirtschaftswunder generation in germany like 1950s 60s 70s born people are truly brainwashed beyond belief
Even more than our millenials
A lot of millenials here we got told that we were the bad people all along so often that they got sick of it and counter act
But literally evry person i know from the post war generation is in outright denial of every negative aspect of immigration

Technology is weakening humanity on an individual level. It's pulling us into the Matrix one step at a time.
>>79994638
'96 but because of my parents, I'm more friends with old people, so though I'm part of the generation, I can compare my generation to those of the older ones.
Also one of the reasons why I'm not left-leaning.
The main thing this generation needs is a catastrophe to bring them back up into humanity. This generation has been brought up through pampering and a bubble that prevented the real world into bringing them up properly. Now there is a generation of people that is completely dependent on the system to not only protect them, but to give them free things-- the drive to succeed through hard work has been erased.
To bring this generation out of this moral rut, a catastrophe of global proportions is necessary in order to weed out the degenerates, so that humanity can again progress into even greater heights.

We are definitely lazier and stupider than previous generations, not sure how many generations though.
I'm 22 and don't relate to most people my age. I use a flip phone, only have a facebook that i check once a week, don't watch tv, and mainly play guitar and read books. I'm not anti-technology but i think that people will never be content if they're constantly chasing after the "newest" thing. I'm in college but just because my parents would disown me if I didn't go. I should be done in a year. After that I plan on joining the army for a few years and then being a firefighter.

When I was a fucking kid (86) I didn't have any of that shit and I still had to go outside to actually do something fun. Video games were around and I was getting into those a lot but I still had to go to the local rental store to get them. I remember when fucking beepers were the in thing.

this is what i dont get, how did 1 generation give birth to 2 different generations, boomers account for the parents of 2 generations, while generation x and millenials will probably barely get to foster even 1 generation at best if you have to take a guess? seriously boomers had it great if they could give rise to not just 1 generation but 2.

>What do you like about this generation
Nothing. Worst fucking people, and this isn't new. I hated them when I was 16. Shit, when I was 10, I would look at the kindergarteners and younger coming out, and something was just wrong.
By the time I was 20 I knew they were destined for chaos and failure. This past 7 years has been nothing but a downard spiral in every facet of life.
>what do you dislike about this generation
See above. They have no reference point to the old world. They have SEVERE disrespect for elders, of insane levels not seen before. Ungrateful, entitled, awful shits. When they come of age, they'll be like Boomers on ACID. They CAN NOT be allowed into positions of power in the future.
>is their work effort that different from pervious generations when they were young
Yes. They have grown up entirely on the internet. They know nothing but their stupid voice and internal machinations of grandure.
>what are some plans or wishes you'd like for this generation as they get older
Get off the internet and kill yourselves or seek the old knowledge. Denounce your peers.
>overall, how do you feel about young people today
Zero faith. I wouldn't trust a single one of them with anything. They will be our deathknell and will hand over the city gates to the invaders at every turn.

Boomers enjoyed what was literally the most prosperous time in all of the west's history. And then they burnt it all to the ground, leaving nothing for future generations, while also filling their offspring's heads with complete falsehoods and lies, ensuring they too would grow up to accept the same sorts of empty-headed ideologies they did.
>>80010805
This has gone much further than merely not caring about your countrymen.
As I said, they are quite literally turning feral. They don't even care about their closest relatives.

Why the fuck you think they act like this? Just magic fairy tail hate? I don't blame them GEN X should fucking hate there elders as well. Also have you ever actually worked in a legit office with managers? The genxers and boomers run fucking everything and they are the god damn worst at everything. You expect when millennials get in they won't take there anger out on every single person?
>>80010296
You don't want to be content. Ever. Contentedness leads to laziness. The bad part about tards dropping thousands and thousands of dollars on new phones / new other things because they're new is that most are content with this being the sum of achievement of their lives.
Social media is cancer. Most forms of the Internet that people consume are literal mind poison. Humans function far better without ever seeing a computer screen than allowing their technology addiction to run unchecked.

Honestly I think there's much more of a dichotomy when it comes to millennials. Some work themselves to the bone, while others don't lift a finger. There's very little middle ground, unlike previous generations...
>>80011948
The original dates were written in 1997 thats why they arent fully defined.
all generations are roughly 20 years give or take. Usually defined after the fact from major events that occur and shape the way that generation views itself and the world.
Thats why some people now say millennials are defined as those old enough to remember 9/11
but I digress 17-22 doesn't really matter generations are only useful for Macro observations.
>>80012178
Yeah cause somone born in 1943 has a lot in common with somone born in 1960?
Or hou about 1901 vs 1920?
one would be working in a munitions factory the other would be the front line.

just because you made up your own doesn't mean that it is widly accepted, true, or corroborated.
I could invent my own alternative to classic arithmetic but it isnt going to get me hired at nasa.
Once you get generations every 6-8 years based on minor differences you end up with a useless jumble of labels that serve no purpose.
on the grand scheme ~20 year increments are good bite sizes of time to observe societal changes.

>what do I like about this generation
We have decent social skills? I guess?
>what do you dislike about this generation
We're entitled as fuck. It's the worst mentality ever and I hate it to no end. No one can think for themselves and It's all a mob mentality
>is their work effort that different from pervious generations when they were young
Absofuckinglutely. I've seen people in classes from high school to current day just not give a fuck because "They have to pass us". A very small amount of people try and I'm glad that's who I've made friends with.
>what are some plans or wishes you'd like for this generation as they get older
Realize that the world is cruel, harsh and no one gives two fucks about you.

millennials are individuals born 1982 - 2004
I'm 62 years old.
I feel very sad for all young people in western nations. Sad that they will never know how good it was to grow up in a white country, like I did. Sad that they apparently feel powerless and hopeless, even though there are now more younger people than older people. Sad that they don't feel they can get it together and change their future.
I hate it when people dump on them and say they're no good, that they don't know how to work, how to handle a job. That's bullshit. But I wish they realized their enemies created that venom as part of an agenda to persuade employers to hire foreigners instead of our country's own young people.
"Liberals" or whatever you want to call them, are young people's biggest enemy. I wish they knew that.
>>80013148
Exactly! That's why I hope ISIS/ISIL takes down the US Power Grid in a few major urban regional areas like the Northeast and Pacific Basin. Imagine the fun! No Internets. No electricity. No Phones. No ATM's. No Debit Cards. It will be like we are back in 1910 all over again! Anyone under 35 will LITERALLY go INSANE in 3 days time into the great Power-Out.

To read a fucking book
>overall, how do you feel about young people today
Since im 22, what I can say is this. You guys are all fags. I don't want to waste my time going into full detail as to why I hate Millenials but ill simply put it like this. Having the need to follow fat spoiled twats on YouTube and regurgitate there opinions based off of second hand accountabilities just makes you a fish. People are all talk and no action. Want to stop injustice? Goto your local sweatshop that has a do not enter sign and see a bunch of people cramped like sardines knitting shirts with 6 people to a fan in sweltering heat. Then protest that.
>>80013978
Nice to see someone who gets it. But these problems will never be fixed and will only grow worse with Generation Z. Our destruction and demise is well underway.
>>80005494
but the upper range (1980-1995) still have memory of a time when technology wasn't as widespread, yeah most of us had a N64 or a shitty desktop PC to play Age of Empires, but we passed most of our time outside, we went out with friends to play football or going around on bikes like a little kiddie chain gang doing stupid shit in the neighborhood... hell I think most of us still played with real toys
the post 2k generation is fucking weird, they grew up with broadband internet, social media, smartphones and the like and it's sad as fuck to see a 10 year old kid with a fucking Ipad playing some shitty mobile game instead of being running around making mud castles or something like us in our childhood, hell I doubt most of this kids know how to ride a bike... I hate those fuckers but they have potential to be better than us (which is not difficult, we millenials as a whole generation suck ass and deserve to be remembered only as entitled little shits)

ya we are subjegated as a generation to be janitors and bag boys in grocery stores or backroom stockmen, all the good jobs are LIMITED and taken by boomers. i kind of wonder what will happen once the boomers die off, if there will be a chance for us to take their positions of work or if those companies will just disappear with the boomers disappearing? its an abstract feelingston mcgee feeling.
>>80014733
I disagree but I don't think he is right that we are our own enemies. Right now boomers rule everything look at fucking fuckheads like Soros. Hes funding these dumb shits that just want to get money I highly doubt any of them give a single fuck about politics. They just want money this generation is more motivated by money than IMO any other generation.

my greatest generation grandmother who hasn't died yet is voting Trump. my mother is a shameless heartless Hillary supporter, same goes for my Dad. my generation X older brother was a FREE SHIT OMGBRO Bernie Faggot, now probably going to be a Trump voter because he hates Hillary and the sound of her voice. so at least its true that the greatest generation would be voting for Trump is shows that, that much is true about that generation. i think it shows that boomers are the true problem when they're the major voting bloc for Hill-dog.

>>79994638
I've got my issues with them, but I don't think they're as bad as many think.
>What do you like about this generation?
Well, they're the first ones to really point out how fucking backwards unpaid internships are. I've always had a problem with the idea myself.
They also happen to have grown up in an environment that caters to technology to a greater degree than at any point in history. They're not the geniuses their parents think they are, though.
>What do you dislike about this generation?
Self-entitlement. SELF-ENTITLEMENT. They were raised to believe that they could do no wrong. And, because their parents' standard of living was so high, they believe that they have the right to that same standard without doing the same work.
They also believe that too many things are basic human rights; healthcare at no cost, jobs, housing, and things like that are just some of the things on their list. They don't think that these are things to be earned, but things to be given.
They also are perfectly willing to suppress dissenting opinion and cry racism and sexism based purely on disagreement. "Rape" now no longer applies to non-consensual sex, but to unwanted attention, off-color comments, or just sitting a certain way on the fucking subway.
They embrace multiculturalism as though it is a virtue. They have completely abandoned the idea of the melting pot in favor of the mosaic. That is a huge problem.
>Is their work effort different...
Yes, but in both positive and negative ways. Baby Boomers will NEVER work through lunch. Ever. At twelve, they take their full hour, whether they work in Radioshack or finance. A millennial would.
They'll also treat any job as though it is beneath them; they'll show up late, or just not show up at all. If a retail location needs someone to cover a shift, the answer is "no."
Most are self-entitled pissants, but I don't think it's all bad. Millennials, like it or not, are going to have to pick up the torch eventually.
>>80012793
thats just trendy self-hatred
Honestly, most care more about themselves than they do anything else. Like all teens/young adults, they're easily susceptible to radicalization, which is why so many are liberal (Thanks to overwhelming Liberal Social/ Mainestream Media). Give them time, call out their shit where you see it fit, and don't take any opinions they have too seriously.
>>79994638
>like
I believe the financial difficulty put on millennials and the simultaneous obligation to function in society despite the hardships is actually really good and will help the cream rise to the top. It's a shit situation, but will inspire a vigorous work ethic and increase American productivity.
>dislike
A lot of fucking hyper liberalism and a lot of whiny kids. I'm not even saying there's nothing to complain about, but it's evident that having a shit fit because it's harder to function in society than baby boomers will not get anyone anywhere.
>work effort different
As I mentioned, I do believe the obligation to function in society and the increased difficulty to do so requires and can inspire a harder work ethic. Some people choose to complain though, as I mentioned in dislike.
>plans for this generation as they get older
If we mimic the work ethic and drive to achieve in the earlier parts of the century, I believe America can be another world leader in progress. The nation was miles ahead of other nations in terms of infrastructure, education, (skyscrapers a century before the cities that are now building taller buildings). If this aforementioned work ethic is mimicked, I would like to see us developing better cities, better technologies and an even more powerful army (for defense) that far outpace our rivals like we used to.
>overall how do you feel about young people today
Like every generation ever, they got problems, but can do good.
they're a total waste
we need a new war to kill thin their numbers

>>79994638
this isnt helping
Pros and cons of the two groups I've lived with.
American millenials:
>biggest con is apathy and disillusionment
>cant really be bothered to care about having a good country, consuming good media, maintaining good friendships, getting a good job
>believe anyone who is preoccupied with these things is a tryhard
>biggest pro is theyre harder to rally and brainwash than previous generations
>with the exception of sjws, millenials are way more chilled out and level headed than previous generations
>actually very resistant to shilling from having grown up surrounded by it, mostly they just laugh when old people try to make them care about stupid shit
>post dumb shit on facebook but dont actually believe in or care about it
>will probably not fall for the "live in debt forever so you can get a house and car you dont actually want" meme, they're happy to just smoke weed and chill in a crappy apartment instead of lying to themselves about a made-up middle class life they saw on tv
>still have plenty of great minds who will do great things. this is rare but present in every american generation
Vietnamese millenials:
>almost no pros
>obsessed with "modern" and "western" things but dont respect that culture or understand it, like weeaboos who somehow only know one piece and bleach
>brainwashed to love ho from a young age, weird mix of commie nationalism and insecurity about their third world country, constantly trying to pretend that "VIETNAM IS COMING UP GUYS JUST LOOK AT THIS POORLY IMITATED KOREAN HAIRCUT I HAVE HAHA WERE NOT IRRELEVANT ANYMORE RIGHT GUYS RIGHT...?"
>babied by their parents, behave like teenagers well past the point where theyre having kids themselves (vietnamese men also live with their parents for life)
>lazy attitude toward work and education

the lack of music subculture is a good point, maybe it means we've finially been completely consumed by all the misinformation, people actually believe they live in some diverse post-historical utopia and there is no further need for a subversive movement, and thus no real spark of humanity left, only glowing screens.

This
My sister is 10 right now and all she does is play candy crush or those other shitty tap tap tap touchscreen games on her phone, watch beyblade on YouTube or watch Pokemon on TV. She doesn't do around to play with her friends, she doesn't even know how to use a proper computer either.
When I was 10, I was jumping all around, climbing on huge rocks, making bows out of sticks and rope lying around, and pretended the thick bamboo sticks were swords
It's the same with all of my younger cousins, they play video games all the time. It's a pity they'll never get to experience the fun and activity filled childhood I got to expressions. For them the idea of a fun day is finding some shitty touchscreen game on their tablet computers or phones.

I used to think our generation was raised by shit baby boomers and that our generation will have to peak up the peaces from their instant gratification lifestyle.
After realizing how propagandized my generation has become during/after high school I now think we will be the most destructive and disappointing generation yet with our children having to pickup the pieces from the Baby Boomers and Millennials......this depresses me.
