Don't Call Me a Millennial - I'm an Old Millennial
Don't Call Me a Millennial - I'm an Old Millennial
There's a sensation you get when you hear the name of a group you're a member of. If someone says "Bostonian" or "liberal" or (sorry) "Patriots fan," my brain perks up a little. Oh, they're talking about me. Over the last few years, though, I've found I'm getting less and less of that ping from the term millennial.
This author touches on the problems with articles about millennials, or any other generation. There is too much diversity of people and individual experience to categorize them by 20 year periods and accurately make generalizations.
I'm an "old" millennial, but I would still consider myself a digital native, even without having a cellphone as a teenager (I wouldn't have had one anyway), and there is definitely a general social disconnect between me and people that are my age and older.
Adam Connover does a good exlplaining why millennials don't exist. Let's start judging people on an invidual basis.




Millennial has become a term to dismiss younger people's opinions, regardless of the message, logic, or truth. Same with snowflake, liberal, or any mixture or synonym of those three.
The problem is that extremists are disproportionately represented because they're so damn loud.
Snowflake is an interesting slang term. I like it to describe specific types of people, like any extremist who won't hear anything but what they want to hear, but don't think it should be used as an insult.
