  • Millennials are being blamed for killing everything from Applebee's to napkins. But perhaps millennials are not at fault.

      GenX didn't blow every little issue out of proportion. We also didn't get bent out of shape every time we heard something that offended us, we also didn't expect everyone else to change their beliefs and behavior to suit us. On top of that, we never went out of our way to destroy a person's life simply because they held a belief, or said something, we didn't agree with.

      IMHO, I think Dave Ramsey was able to sum up Millenials by saying that your generation can be divided into the self-entitled losers or “rock stars”. No in betweens. My generation - children of a self-absorbed generation. Maybe some of us became self-entitled and had the self entitled Millenials. Others succeeded in not becoming their parents and raised the rock stars. Just a hypothesis.

      @@crystalwalker6496 Very humble for you to present your p.o.v. as a mere hypothesis. But youre even more a firsthand witness of whats screwed Millennials than I am. Im a GenX parent with a 30 year old married daughter & an 18 year old son whos just starting college. My kids have been out of the nest a long time now, so by no longer being able to watch their behavior firsthand, or through their peers, I no longer know whats going on with the younger crowd. From what I HAVE seen for myself, though, youre right. Theyre either so self-absorbed that they literally WILL NOT stop staring at their phones (even when crossing a busy intersection) or else theve adopted a "diva" mentality
      Ive seen GenX parents unwilling to enforce "fully unplugged" times during the schoolweek, also parents that havent put their foot down to make their video game addicted children do their chores & homework. So I saw alot of slacking on the part of parents too. At the same time I blame alot of parental lax on the times we live in. How our industrial lords & masters have depressed wages so badly & brought our standard of living down to where two (Millennial or GenX) working adults cant pay the costs of living & maintain an inhabitable lifestyle. Its tough to discipline your children & spend the time they really need with you when youre usually at work. And then when you ARE home, youre too exhausted to do your job as a parent!
      The way I see it, THESE are the reasons so many Millennials & GenZ are screwed up

      @Luke Drinking from Alien Titty Subsidized tuition is absolutely still a thing. There are a ton of subsidized student loans dished out every year along with subsidized scholarships, like the FAFSA, which an overwhelming number of college students apply for. And the whole retirement vacuum thing isn't an effective solution, because different generations tend to see massive market migrations. That was one of the major points of this video: Different generations have different economic demands, necessitating new markets.
      In the boomer generation, job markets were much friendlier towards people who hadn't gone to college, and you could usually get by fine on a high school education. Millenials on the other hand are expected to attend college, or vocational school at the absolute minimum, to even have a chance at staying in the middle class. There is no demand for granddad's job on the factory line anymore, just for the 10 engineers that replaced those 100 factory line workers. And the engineers had better have a bachelor's degree and 5 years of experience to have any hope of landing that job.
      But if you can find me a job where I carry heavy feed bags out of a truck that pays enough to support me through college like my grandfather did, please point me to it. (Seriously please point me to it, I'm already behind on rent.)

      when you impose taxes that money goes to pay for the countries infustructure, roads, schools, healthcare, police and firepersons... it pays for those jobs, and the education creates more jobs too.

If a house is in a town where the demand is high, even if it's a small dump, it'll increase in value. If, however, it's in a dumpy town where no one wants to live, even if it's a mansion, it'll fall in value. It's never the house, it's the land.

      Gabzo, that's the philosophy of venture capitalism, but this fails to account for wage equilibrium. Wage equilibrium -- where the minimum wage maintains pace with inflation -- debunks the concept of infinite profit generation. It just isn't possible. Sadly, the wage *isn't* keeping pace with inflation, hence why venture capitalism is profitable over the longest possible time span.

      Gabzo Avro I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's just common sense at work. We have finite resources, and finite ideas, but the market is deemed unlimited in it's potential, which at it's core is illogical. There's a reason why the housing market before 2008 was unsustainable, and it was because the sheer deregulation of the industry. It's arrogant to think the market will just grow permanently. As a system, it's ok to proceed on this assumption, but as a species we have to be conscious that unlimited growth is simply impossible.

    I’m 27 and I have no idea about “millennials” or generation z and stuff like that. But everything is far too expensive, and when I do spend money I don’t want it to be on mediocrity. I don’t plan to buy a house at all because the maintenance of a property is exhausting, not to mention the property tax and the mortgage that comes along with it. I already have two kids and I DEFINITELY DON’T want more. The price of child care is absolutely abysmal compared to the hard work put in for a paycheck. Places charge too much; three items ranging from a board game to an action figure ran about $50+. WHY, Toy’s r Us?! We are forced to be frugal and focus our money on the necessities and products that we actually want. Why spend $47 at a restaurant where I can buy ingredients and have what I like how I like it and have leftovers? Millennials aren’t the problem- it’s the economic state of America.

But as we're hitting 50 & 55, those of us who didn't turn out to be couch potatoes & actually maintained some muscle tone can still hold our own against a belligerent 'teen or twenty-something: strength *and* experience
      And when you eventually gain the perspective that only *decades* of life can provide, then you'll realize our complaints about the worstening conditions in society aren't simply based on some melodramatic attachment to the bygone past. The 70s & 80s are just as unchangeable as Roman Times. And although its nice to remenesce about them every once in a while, many of us still look forward to the future.

      23 106 23 106 to answer your questions in order:
      1. They adapted just fine by adding carriages, competitions, etc, to make buying a horse more appealing. It was no longer the only way to get around, so the industry had to stand out.
      2. Selective breeding and genetic engineering. Something I'm sure was talked about in your 9th grade biology class.
      3. You can't, in this system. Horseback riding has become a luxury. It's demographic has shifted, and if companies can charge more, they will. If you wanted to lower the cost of owning a horse you'd need to lower breeding costs, building costs for stables, feed, veterinary care, etc.
      4. If you would read my comment more carefully, you'd see I never said anything about people not riding horses. I said the market adapted with consumers. It's place in this current market is as a luxury sport and a hobby.
      And if a company is failing, maybe they simply refuse to change. Nintendo used to sell playing cards in the 1800s, but they're still around because they take risks and aren't against changing.

Your video is the first one I've seen that went into what was "killed" by the boomer generation. The fact is things that no longer serve the larger population in the way that the population wants it, is just going to phase out if they don't adapt to the desires of society, it has always been like that and the next generation will want different things than we do now. Thanks for this very well put together video. Cheers to you!

    As far as housing goes, when I was in high school ( 1998-2001 ) the economy was in full swing, and going to college, getting a job, and buying a house was an expectation. By time I had finished college in 2005, the country was anxious and war was all we talked about. The whole country actually changed in my first quarter ( yeah, we had quarters instead of semesters at my university ) when the towers were hit.
    By the time I was ready to enter the workforce... there wasn't much workforce to enter. Now buying a house doesn't seem like the normal thing to do, but rather a dream that I might never achieve.
    We aren't failing the system... the system failed us.

    What some older businesses don't quite understand is that you can't expect everything to stay the same when everything is constantly changing around you. It's also one of the growing problems is that our infrastructure is old as shit and slowly decaying which leads to multiple problems while everything else just keeps changing.... You know it's like these businesses expect people to have flying cars now but if you don't put any investment into your actual workers (aka payraises) then then nothing will change and it will eventually collapse on itself.
    Like the economy is just so fucked.... How do you expect a person to buy a house on a pathetic minimum wage job? Even if they get a bank loan they are going to be paying for morage for around 30+ years that's a long time and a lot of shit can happen during that time. Not to mention there is the need of a car, need of insurance, need of basic necessities like food and water..... How do you NOT expect this generation to live in an apartment or with their parents?

      if you want to find someone to ready blame, its Reagan and the baby boomers for fucking up the economy, allowing stock buybacks, major deregulation, and stupid trade deals, leading to a bust and boom cycle that caused many of those crashes. The baby boomers were the entitles ones who lived during one of the best economies in history with amazing wages during their times turn around to blame later generations while they voted for short term gains and to fuck up later generation. Look at Climate change, there was proof that our carbon outputs were having an effect on the environment ever since the 90s, but the people in power (baby boomers) disregarded the evidence and continued to help the fossil fuel companies. Tax cuts, tax cuts they said, they want tax cuts, slash that 90% tax on the rich down to 37% percent they said. Allowed stock buybacks, why not, the rich needs to get richer. What came from that? Social programs are gutted, a ever increasing military budget that rivals the next ten countries put together, wages became stagnant, because why invest in the workers when you can buy back your stocks right? The companies in the US are making record profits, but our infrastructures which were once the pride of the US are now ranked a D at best compared to other countries. Infrastructure are crumbling, while we are still throwing trillions at the stupid and pointless war in the mid-east.

    The starter homes is so incredibly true...
    Since land is more expensive, contractors tend to build bigger homes on the same land surface so they can compensate the more expensive land for the lost profit.
    The starter homes could be apartments, but people won't let apartments to be built outside of cities. And in cities land costs are astronomical so they end up again having to make expensive apartments.

And they don't pay you the same per kilowatt hour price for your extra energy that you pay them for the same thing! You just can't win nowadays. Years ago electric companies were required to pay people for their extra. Not anymore, here anyways.

All generations have said the older ones are hypocritical, but then they get old and hate things hypocritically. Please make a new concept of old generations helping and appreciating younger ones, instead of scolding children about how the 90's were the peak of human civilization.

And you get people who agree more with the general views of a different generation instead of there own. Generation categories are kind of silly for that reason: age is only one factor of many that make up a person's views/perspectives and lifestyle.

    I'm currently 38 as of 2021. I always hated generation stereotypes even when my opinion would've been seen by the people younger than me as "relevant". But I can't help but notice that the younger people seem to have little to no concept of history, even within the arts-which so many of them tout with the advent of these online platforms that essentially make everyone a director/actor/editor/producer. When I was young, I went back into history and learned jazz greats, 60's music, blues movements etc etc. Now, it seems like if it didn't happen before 1995, it didn't happen at all. The major concern of this philosophy is that if history has taught us anything, it's that it's repeated. I don't feel like a lot, not-all-but a lot of gen Z and millennials also understand how truly dangerous the world is. We are spoiled like the Romans were spoiled 2,000 years ago and are willing to play fast-and-loose with government policy just to see what happens. It's a truly dangerous time. When the gazelle grazes, the lion watches. And last but most: GOD. Young people have had no semi-strict institution to teach a Biblical morality. I know, I know, not another Christian, right? But Christians were the influencers of compassion. Christians made the idea of chivalry positive. Christians brought about the Renaissance and the enlightenment. Christians lead the abolition movement. And Christians are responsible for almost all of the major educational institutes of the west. But they do not take much credit because that would be unchristian so you never hear about it. We've been here before, not necessarily as a nation-although America has been here too-but as a world. Whenever you decide to change morality at the drop of a hat without any study or understanding, that's when people tend to commit the largest and most disastrous follies(ie genocide, torture, rape, atrocities). If you do not believe me, look at countries that have brought socialism to the forefront. But people cling to these ideologies because they feel like the alternative is GOD and no one can stomach that. And not that I care what certain "intellectuals" think, and neither should you, but many even worry about a fast Christian rug pull as dangerous. Too quick, too fast. They worry that it result in a morality cobbled together by random movements and emotion so disjointed that the result could be nothing short of chaotic murder, atrocity, and death. Germany was seen as intellectual giants right up until they murder 10 million people. Food for thought.

      Bradley Bowen partially true. There are much more baby boomers than millennials. (Hence the term baby boomers because they bloomed like flowers in spring.) Their money went to previous generations, and their generation. The baby boomers money is running thin. So they get more from gen x,y, and millennials. That's how it works. So millennials will be getting money from their offspeings generation. The cycle never ends

    It's kind of hard to get jobs, too. I was jobless for 2 years despite applying literally everywhere I could work, and one day my mom called me chewing me out and accusing me of leeching off of my parents ON PURPOSE. She literally said,
    "I don't understand why you just can't work as a waiter or something. I was a waiter when I was your age."
    Because MOM literally 40 or more people are applying for every single job! I know this because I know people that do hiring and they all told me every time a position open they get dozens and dozens of people applying! I can't just "get a job". If it were that easy, nobody would be fucking jobless. Luckily I work at Menards now.

    • @marquesbowden0130

      Part of the reason why we can't get jobs is because the internet (inadvertently) killed the process:
      When I was younger (I'm 40 now, so I belong to this generation), I would fill an application, then go to the interview. That was an opportunity to showcase my intellect and professional skills. However, with the internet, if your resume doesn't check boxes, then they don't have to explain why you didn't get the job (or interview for that matter). The previous generations could work for 20 to 30 years with little fear of layoffs and retire. Not or generation.
