Ahahahah...

The comment ****storm is the best part.

[deathfun]

Oh wow

Reminds me of my father who keeps mentioning "Your generation is full of entitled idiots who think **** will just be given to them"

[Rodo]

Another trash vid in youtube.

Well to be fair, almost everything in youtube is trash.

[esarai]

Yeah... I'm so sorry for only asking for help with medical, educational and travel expenses and getting good grades in school and winning merit scholarships and stuff.  I totally didn't work my ass off so I could build myself a better life.  Sorry for thinking it would be given to me when I turned 18.

A lazily cynical response. Do you actually have any meaningful criticisms of the video?

[Rodo]

Sorry no I don't. I'll let myself out of your thread.

[QuantumDelta]

I liked the irony in the video tbh It pandered to my dry sense of humour.
The comment section is poison.

we need to start a revolution. everybody find an old/rich/political person, zap em with a tazer, then take an 8-foot pole and impale them. line the streets with their dying corpses (if they die during the impaling process youre doing it wrong). then we detonate a nuke in every major city. then we launch a space mission to find the biggest asteroid we can move, and collide it with the earth. that should solve everyone's problems.

I like how the summary of the vid is "we can't find jobs it's too hard, you are an asshole for not recognizing that"

Actually, a better description of the summary is that the Baby Boomer generation has the gall to complain about millenials, while the baby boomers were responsible for the factors that have skyrocketed national debt levels due to unsustainable tax regimes, housing market explosion and subsequent crash which tanked the global economy, outsourcing of the jobs with high pay/pension/benefits which the boomers now complain millenials aren't taking (despite the fact that they're gone), and also continual policies that favor economic growth over environmental stability.

The video authors forgot to mention one of the biggest problems millenials face today:  the few really good jobs that the boomers got with virtually no education are now still held by the boomers, because their debt levels are also insane and they can't afford to retire due to the economic havoc they've wreaked.

Yes, I have met some very entitled millenials - but I also notice that the Baby Boomer generation takes no responsibility for the consequences of their policies that have royally screwed their children.

[Klaustrophobia]

may i note that this is the first time i've ever even heard the word "millenial, " and furthermore that i see no actual evidence that this supposed war/blame/whatever the hell you call whatever it is the video is complaining about between the generations actually exists, despite being a part of one of them.  there are ****wits of all ages.  pretending that the era you were born in plays any role at all on your net worth to the world is just plain retarded.

so my take on the video is "we want attention and to feel enlightened and superior."

my mom, a boomer, has lived on welfare and then disability her entire life, despite having fairly well off parents. she has never produced anything of value, with the exception of 3 rather useless, mentally unstable children. shes had housing, medical, food stamps, and not one but two mobility scooters at over 2-3k each, the works all paid for by the us taxpayers. what about the millenials who need those services? denied! can not have! get a ****ing job you worthless bum! the ****ing boomers milked the system dry, and there is nothing left for us. and on top of that we got to pay for their social security, which guess what, were not gonna get. and of course many of them will die with huge debts that we will end up having to pay. i for one say we rush them to their graves in a rash of bloodshed and torture.

Apparently you live under a rock, because "generation war"-type material is regularly featured in the business/investment sections of many major newspapers in Canada, the US, and Britain (can't link to the Guardian's search feature directly).

There is a very real perception among older generations, particularly in the business community, that "millenials" are lazy, self-centered, entitled, and narcissistic.  Of course, anyone with an ounce of perspective realizes that the previous generations referred to the 'boomers' in exactly the same manner.  Regardless, I can certainly see why members of the millenial generation take significant offense to those generalizations.

[haloboy100]

I have to say I'm with Klaus; I've never heard of "Milenials" before. I have, however, heard of "Generation Y", which is apparently the same thing, from my cousin; who himself is part of "Generation X".

lol, perhaps he just doesn't live in the same country / environment you and I do?

[Lorric]

I've never heard it before either. I've heard baby boomers loads of times, but never millenials. I've heard other things used to describe it, such as "generation me", "generation Y" and the "selfish generation".

[MP-Ryan]

Apparently not many people actually read national newspapers anymore.  Though I guess that shouldn't surprise me since the Millenials are all so lazy
