“Millennials complain too much!” complained the old people.
"I'm offended that millennials are offended" - also old people
When is this vicious cycle of bad mouthing the younger generation going to end? Faux news are by far the worst offenders. I'm a Gen X and remember similar derogatory comments being spewed at us as well.
Lol thats what i think everytime!
And so are you doing. Your point is that if someone is constantly complaining about small things, you aren't allowed to say anything against it because that makes you a hypocrite.
@@behindyou666 no, thats not the point.
Those damn kids with their smartphones
Those damn kids with their televisions
Those damn kids with their radios
Those damn kids with their books
Those damn kids with their cave paintings
Those damn kids with their fire.
That damn Marshall McLuhan.
Kids these days won't stop staring at the cave walls!
We need to ban cave walls so our children dont become zombies!
Other than cave paintings and fire (which we just don’t have a record going back far enough to be sure about) all those are accurate. Even books 📚 The new form of media always gets attacked. *(Edit: the new form at the moment being video games ;[ its odd)*

You _can_ make that argument, but... you can't blame all of our generation's screw-ups on the -grown ups- parents.
@@hopesy12u4
Sure you can, but you gotta provide evidence, first.
I agree that we can never solely blame the parents, but it take's a village to raise someone as they say, so if it's all trash.... the problems people encounter as they go into adulthood because of how they were raised and their environment..... It's hard not to point fingers depending on how you look at it, but I like to think that yes we don't choose how we were brought up, but once we realize it, we can make the change to become who we want to be.
Easier said than done but wtv, rant over. ✌🏻

I'm 62 and I admire every generation. I am really proud of Genx, Millennials and Gen z; they will have to make sure fellow humans don't destroy the planet. My Grandma was born in 1887 and taught me everyone is different and special, so show love and compassion to all.
I am embarrassed & saddened when ignorant folk have to look down on younger or older people. We are all Earthlings on a journey called life. Peace, Love and joy to all!♥
Thank you ❤❤❤ We are trying our best!
We're gonna do our best, thanks for not losing hope!
You are a great person, others should follow your example! 🙃
Thank you! Also thank you to your generation for not messing us up when you raised us (rather my parents since I'm gen z but point still stands).
Aw, we'll make sure to try our best to make this world a better place for everyone.

Good job.
Who knew avocado toast was such an existential threat to the foundations of society?
Carla M. It is, why do people eat toast with green tooth paste on it?
Luv Flowers eat toast with organic peanut butter
Also a good, cheaper option.. but it depends what you want. Avocados (per tablespoon) have almost no sugar, fewer calories, >3x the potassium, >3x the Omega 3's, >2x the fiber, and a much higher portion of monounsaturated fats in its fat content. Peanut butter has higher protein and calcium.. but Americans aren't usually lacking in those.
Seems gross until you acquire the taste, and then you're craving them.
I feel like the real problem is that most places don't wanna sell their vacant real estate under market to match the salaries of their surrounding area making it more likely more people will buy. Instead they hold out on highest profit religiously and stagnate the market. But sure avocadoes. Why not.
Carla M. There's almost no taste to them at all man, I'd rather just eat plain toast
Can you imagine your parents being annoyed that you read too much?
"Kids these days with their smartphone games,even though I see them reading all the time. I still believe I'm right that they are using smartphone to play games blah blah blah"
Its ironic as when the adults were younger, they are blamed for reading too much book and doesn't spent time with their family or just going out too much lul
Once a news article in the 1800's said that young people are obsessed with reading and don't talk to one another
@@NeighborSenpai its funny because whether you're reading or using a phone, you're still ignoring everyone else. wait you can text on phones you might be talking to someone. so technically books are more isolating wait wtf this goes against everything my parents bitched about
@@hazelnoot2865 XDDD, although I must agree about the part where I use my phone sometimes just to isolate myself while on the bus
to be honest, all I use my phone these days for IS reading. I literally read all day, because I have easier access to more books in the palm of my hand. and if i'm not reading, i'm talking to someone on the other side of the country! phones are amazing that way, and I think keep us more connected, rather than separating us.
As a German, the American news are absolutely hilarious. This stuff would barely get into the gossip news here.
Heh the american dream 😂

“Millennials... buying avocados instead of houses...”
Lady! If a house costed as much as an avocado, I’d have a 1000!
Same.
Skylar Kadambi
Yet you will rely on someone else to help you through life. Even if it’s picking the damn avocados.
Marco SoCal lol what u say makes literally no sense 😂 but go off I guess
Marco SoCal also, millenials are the most hipster organic ‘grow my own food’ generation. There are probably hundreds of millennials rn growing their own damn avocados 🥑 lol
Lol I was able to buy both but yeah you should obviously do your research, buying a house is a big step but it's funny how they just generalize a whole generation. You can also buy avocado and bread from the grocery for about 6 bucks and have avocado toast for the whole week. As for dietary needs, I became a vegan for health reasons and to try to heal my cystic acne that I got from eating an American standart diet.
If I had a dollar for every time a baby boomer talked trash about millennials, I'd have enough money to buy a house in the economy they ruined.
LMAOOOOO true af
This is a beautiful comment. Thank you
You definatly live up to your name! Hahaha.
OOF, roasted
There also is a generatin between. The Generation X
Dopamine is also released when you eat food and pee, shall we put an age restriction?
Little do the old people know, Dopamine is a chemical that makes the person focus on something more than other things. Its a focusing chemical not necessarily an addictive chemical
As a Gen-Zer I just realized it's not gonna be long before the generational shift occurs and it's now Gen Z being the punching bag for older generations. Whatever, it'll be pretty entertaining learning what the older generatons blame on us; guarantee it'll be technology-related lmao
You're a step ahead already, so you'll just tune it out as nonsense.
John Taylor It’s just how it works. Older generations hate on the younger generations because they think back when they were a kid was better.
LoL as a Gen Z even if the older generation talk any bad things about us ...we are pretty unbothered generation as what I have seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂we are just gonna say"Nothing matters in the end "😂😂😂
Gen Z is one of those generations that are not so bothered about it. We make everything a joke nowadays. Show someone an apple and say something like *A P P L E* and we will laugh guaranteed.

2060: Ugh kids these days with their holoscreens, back in my day we only had smartphones.
No hate here. Jobs took a punch in the gut in the late 1970's, and so did ALL employees. It was the first time when employers bought each other out and *DOWNSIZED*. This was a time when *tenured* professors with doctoral degrees were slinging hamburgers to stay afloat financially because they weren't being kept on. And professorships and fellowships shrank tremendously. Not even teens could work at McDonald's because those jobs were filled by adults who couldn't get a job in their field. Compare that to 1967,when a Master's degreed graduate in sciences especially could write their own ticket on where to work. They even paid for relocation.
In the 1970's,my Mom worked as a bookkeeper and could keep our family afloat and give us music lessons, membership at a swimming club, decent food (a roast on the weekend sometimes), a nice haul of presents from Santa Claus😉, and a bicycle. And much more. Gymnastics, (vinyl) records, boom boxes, stereos, X-mas tree, pets, and quite the middle class life while maintaining a nice car and house on a quiet street. Then late '70's we had to tighten our belts a lot! Mom had a harder time meeting our needs and Dad had bad times at the hospital.
She made some gambles by going back to university (which was doable) and applying for work as an accountant, which would raise our income and allow us to thrive.
I was able to pay my university tuition every semester in the 1980's, and I graduated with a BS and a Master's degree in Teaching. My tuition started at $900/semester. At the end of my degree, tuition was $1500/semester. Minimum wage was $3.30/hour and I was paid $3.40 an hour with regular raises. I got to $3.80 when I left in 1986. Iwas able to pay my tuition and books and have a school loan to pay back at 4%. I did have to refinance, and it took a while, but I was able to pay it back.
Not without setbacks, though. No one was hiring. All I could get was scut work at not much more than minimum wage. The jobs in my area (lab tech) did not last for a career, and I continued to struggle.
I was the caboose of the Baby Boomers. When I couldn't find a career, US jobs were already in decline. Wal-Mart discount stores popped up everywhere. Gasoline jumped from $1.00 to $2.50 and went up and down like a yo-yo. There were lines to gas stations in the late 1970's and gas stealing, and locking gas caps were a new thing.
Jobs and the economy never recovered from then on till even today.
I feel for you Millenials. You are bearing the brunt of the worst economic times. They will never call it a depression. That's a numbers game. If you cherry pick your statistics, you can make them say anything.
Keep demanding better. You deserve better. Don't let CEO's and people with old money (like Barbara Bush's boys) try to piss on your leg and tell you it's raining!
Demand a living wage. You deserve life you can live. You deserve your avocado on toast! (avocados prevent cancer.) we deserve our coffee house coffee! You can bet they enjoy theirs! They'll complain about your avocado on toast while they go to $200.00 a plate affairs and leave half of more of the food. And leftovers from catering? God forbid that anyone in a homeless shelter eat filet mignon, lobster, or shrimp. Or even escargot. Keep the poor poor. And they even put out laws that prevent people delivering such leftovers to homeless shelter citing health reasons.
Caterers know how to take care of food. And the worst you get from pizza is dry ingredients that perk up in a microwave.
The reason the 1% didn't drink coffee house coffee was because it didn't exist outside of groceries. Columbian was the best bean you could get, and the grocery had a machine that would grind it for you fresh. That was it.
Demand better Healthcare. Demand better jobs. You know who provides those jobs. Don't mind the crocodile tears of the CEO's on Wall Street.
You truly deserve better.
Thank you :’(
"buying avocados instead of houses" maybe cuz avocados are cheaper?
Some people just like avocados…
They act like avocados are the same price as houses.
Best Gaming Lists that’s the thing though it’s not an everyday thing or an every week thing.
Best Gaming Lists ahhhh ok ok, sorry.
Also avocado toast tastes way better than a house.
But who raised these kids? Hmmmmmm?
ikr? those parents ignore their lack of parenting and go straight for the new tech they never had growing up. notice you'll never hear baby boomers blaming violent tv and movies like their parents used to, but both generations will say it's violent video games. when i become a parent one of the first things i'll assess if my child messes up is ask myself if i wasn't there for them so they can learn what they need to learn in life.
Late babybooners and early Xgens raised millennials. Late Xgens and early millennials are raising generationZ or the igeneration. (Me, parents are lateX gens)
Hahah parents these days say that back in the days they only had books, and thus you should only have books. But our parents bought our new tech. While that is happening, they have their iPhone X and 8s
The Meme Lords
they started that shit, how many parents had the TV baby sit for them while they went to pound beers or whatever escapism they resorted to avoid seeing the horrors of reality they can't or refuse to acknowledge....jus sayin brah 😞.
But millennial are in their mid 20s to 30s...
How interesting is the fact that each generation is worst than the previous but the world is a better place each new generation? New generation respect more of each other at work, they don't blow smoke on someone else face, don't slap the secretary butt, don't think the woman is the only one responsible for taking care of the kids, they don't accept bullying, they respect their kids more. That only means they are the opposite of narcissist. They are open minded. Older generation always have something to complain about and lost the capacity to see the good parts of it.
There's still inequality! Gender, race, work rights. They just hide it better. Don't get me wrong. It's more progressive. Nerds are applauded in media and not bullied. Being gay is more accepted publicly. Neat. At the same time, I'm noticing some unsavory trends still going on in the background too. We still need to keep our eyes open and keep our critical thinking skills sharp.

Bad things will always exist. The best we can do is point them out while we can.
Each generation has a tendency to think theirs was the best, and let me tell you, the generation before them bashed them too.

@@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 depends on the definition, generations are messured as 20 years
@@CrispyMalex That's generation as a measure of time. That's not how it's used in the context of baby boomers, Millenials, the silent generation, or Gen Z.
even considering that fact there are different sources which messure these segments in different time periods, I used an german (native) source but also looked up for some more english sources which all differe from another
@@CrispyMalex Using a German source to define an American generation seems pretty odd.
I think that as people get older, they forget what it was like to be younger. For example, I hear a lot of people my age (and have since probably high school), complain about getting older and wish they were a kid again. But I always question whether they really thought this through and as somebody who remembers childhood really vividly, I would never choose to be a child again. As a child, I always felt powerless, had all my decisions dictated by older people because "they knew better" (even when sometimes, they didn't) and was forced to follow often arbitrary rules that served no functional purpose (don't wear hats in class? Forced outside for recess even though it's -25ºC outside?). Kids are also a lot more insecure and therefore mean to each other, so the social environment as a kids wasn't so great. All this to say, being a kid sucks and I would never want to go through that again.
If older people could remember what being in college or recently-graduated was like, maybe they'd stop reminiscing that those were the best years of their life too and sympathize with the struggles we're going through
I mean, maybe the ones that want to be a kid had a good childhood? Good school that didn’t force kids to go outside in -25 degree weather (i dont think thats even legal since thats pretty much human endangerment). Good parents that had a balance between being strict and laid back. Good social life with other kids (especially close friends or family members). Of course the best part, the only thing to worry about was some homework you could get done in like an hour if not less. Essentially giving us enough freetime to do whatever.
You literally wrote my life
@@tjlnintendo I'm not sure what it's like where you live but in Canada, it's pretty universal for kids to go out for recess when it's very cold, otherwise they'd be indoors all winter. The lower limit at from our school board was -25ºC and I was in Toronto where it's actually warmer than most of Canada.

I’m taking notes what to try not to do when I get old.
Here's another note. Try to not to say the hot new media will cause crime waves or the collapse of civilization or decadence in young people. It happened with video games, comics, heavy metal music and crime novels.
@@FatherTime89 wait. Are you saying games, crime novels etc. are the reason for crime waves and decadence in young people?

Aaaaaand now millennial hate Gen Z, my generation. Idc what older folks say, every generation the world is getting better. I am proud of us teenagers, we're young but already thinking for ourselves and taking action to improve our world. We are shedding our parent's flawed ideals and making way for a more accepting future. I love us and our generational inside jokes, we are creating a culture that is completely our own and we are the most accepting, open minded people this world has seen so far.
Yeah, if there's one thing unique to us it's the *memes.*
@@bonogiamboni4830 Its how we cope with all the stress and fear we have in this world.
@@floofyblitz6895 hell yeah, memes cleanse the soul.
As a fellow Gen Z, I warn against being too prideful about our generation. I think we’ll fall into the same trap that every generation does: criticizing the younger generations as we get older. This stems from being too focused on our own generation and seeing ourselves as superior to other generations. So if we are to avoid continuing the endless cycle, we must be aware of the unique strengths and weaknesses of every generation, not just put ourselves up on a pedestal. We must also be prepared for the criticism we will inevitably receive from the younger generations when we’re older. They will have different customs and values than us, and our ideas and cultures will clash, similar to the conflict between Gen Z and the older generations right now.
I agree mostly. The 90s were very accepting and people didn't get crazy over words like millenials do. Gen z is definitely an improvement.
What these folks say about millenials is exactly the same that was said about boomers in the '60's and '70's.
But at least in the 60s and 70s their parents and grandparents weren't actively working to keep them poor and then blaming them for it. This student loan crisis is disgusting.
The difference is the state of the country today compared to when the Boomers were kids. Boomers had every advantage you could possibly imagine, the absolute golden age of America. It's no mystery why everyone, especially young people, lose their minds when the boomers think they have a right to criticize ANYTHING about the way things are today.
The young know everything, the middle aged suspect everything, and the old believe everything.

kids no longer drinking alcohol is just... a good thing.
Only morons drink alcohol. Not because you have to be dumb to do it, nope, rather because drinking alcohol makes you dumb via direct neurological damage.
Wait, so it is really bad when young people drink a lot of alcohol, until the day they're the drinking age, then they must drink because otherwise they are sensitive snowflakes who destroy everything? I find that to be a little bit odd...If they want young people to drink more alcohol, why don't the advocate to lower the drinking age instead of blaming it on the stupid twenty-somethings who can't do anything right
My thoughts precisely....
CUZ its FUN BETCH
Uhhhh in Ireland we have kids my age drinking , 15
Thing is, no matter what generation it is, they will always hate the younger generation. Just like how Gen Z is also starting to hate gen Alpha. There's no stopping it
This kind of reminds me of when I went to church a couple weeks ago, the priest was making fun of the idea of "back in my day things were better" and how kids won't experience what he experienced. The priest is in his mid-60s as well. His rebuttal to those ideas was two-fold, first, the world was never good to begin with, it's always been filled with sin, and second, when you say things like that, you ignore how God works through the new youth and how his love can show in ways that were completely different from when he was a kid. That really stood out to me. People are often fearful of what they do not understand, and fear breeds hate, which breeds more fear. Don't give into fear or hate, neither one is worth it.
Good priest
Funny Trivia: The label "the me generation" was first coined to describe babyboomers in the 1970s.
Stefan B Not sure if I should laugh or be shocked
THEIR parents had lived through the Depression so when the economy picked up after WWII and they could afford to give their kids a good life they did. That's what parents do. They strive to give their children a better life than they had. The problem is there's no handbook. Some parents gave their kids too much so when they grew up they gave their own kids too much too. It's way more complicated than that but at the end of the day, as the saying goes, children are a map of their parents. I'm trying to raise my own kids to be decent human beings. Treat others the way you want to be treated, work for what you want instead of expecting others to do it for you, respect your elders, etc. They don't have all kinds of screens or expensive stuff just because other parents buy it all for their kids (while struggling to pay for things that actually matter). Only time will tell what sorts of adults these children will be and we'll only have our collective generation to blame for it. Buckle up, Buttercup.

First off: American news seem horrible.
Also, the dopamine argument is ridiculous. Dopamine is literally part of how feeling happy works. You don't ever feel happy without dopamine being involved. That doesn't mean that texting is addictive! Are you addicted to having friends? Eating food? Having a job? Enjoying warm weather? I don't think so. That guy made me really angry with his smugness. I also don't get what's so bad about avocados.
Yeah, it turns out that news companies will make ridiculous claims to draw attention and revenue
How does addiction work then?
Also, BB generation whine about Avocados because they're jealous, they didn't get to have avocados when they were younger.
Yeah, I didn't understood their obsession with millennials eating avocado toast... Wtf who cares what somebody eats ( and avocados are tasty so why not?? ) Great video and greetings from Germany ( i'm now very happy that we don't have this discussion in Germany...)
You can be much happier without dopamine. Oxytocin.
Now you NEED dopamine to survive, but replacing those activities with social media is the problem. In the same way replacing them with alchohol or drug addictions do.

My service in the military and working overtime with no overtime pay, also determines this to be a lie. But, MILLENNIALS. Or something.
These damn millennials and their comments.
They are talking about the liberal millennials
Buys their 10 yr old Boomer child a Chuck Berry record. Complains that he's always listening to that devil's music.
Buys their 10 yr old Gen-X child a tv for his own room. Complains that he's always watching that super violent show 'Miami Vice.'
Buys their 10 yr old Millennial child a PSP. Complains that he's always playing his portable console instead of going to play outside with the other kids.
Buys their 10 yr old Gen-Z child a brand new iphone. Complains that she's always in her damn phone and taking selfies.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THESE GENERATIONS DIDN'T RAISE THEMSELVES.
Sincerely,
A 28 yr old entitled lazy snowflake Millennial.

That's because their target audience is 55+. FoxNews has a demographic problem. They're only the "most watched" news channel because Boomers are watching them, but they are starting to die off. And Millennials aren't watching CNN or MSNBC because those channels don't actually report anything anymore. I could watch CNN 16 hours a day for a week straight and not know that there is a teacher's strike happening in North Carolina. So Millennials get their news online and on twitter.
Fucks the economy, complains that millennials don’t have houses.
This is fucking awesome. I have thought this so many times.
Courtney Durham I watch Fox but thats cause I'm a conservative and its the only conservative news outlet available on TV.
Hey Millennials don't do this to Gen Z please; Oh wait you're doing that already
Those darn Gen Z kids and their *FORTNITE DANCES*
@@RajA-jw7dd It's a joke.
Ms. Goodness I’m confused... do you know what a joke is?
The tech is a definite problem. I spent 1/2 hour per math question with a young lad who I know, while he was actually trying to concentrate. He has exams coming up. I originally suggested he be allowed to play online to supplement the struggles in his social life and to prevent him being attracted to a criminal crowd, however a dependency developed fast. He is good, and he’s improved, but those those games need to be handled Carefully around people who face difficult news. It’s to easy to ignore the problems and changes and literally become their game character instead. Ppl need ppl.
So far the only thing millennials shit on gen Z for is thinking PewDiePie is funny.
Just wait, they’ll start bothering us Gen-Z soon
I made a promise to myself a long time ago to respect the youth when I get old. It's not even a generation thing, it's just that all young people have less life experience than their elders, and there's nothing wrong with that. Those older people were once clueless as to how life works too.
Truth is old people are just as clueless about life as young people
Ok where did you get this from
@@jvmgang I think they meant to say that old people are clueless about "modern life"
I've seen people my age who are dumb as can be.
No. It's that young people aren't shackled by old thinking.
Every generation thinks they're smarter than the previous and wiser than the next
Totally not No One Yeah but every generation is smarter than the last and more wise than the next. Gen Y is the smartest generation in human history. Of course we think we are smarter than Gen X and baby boomers... We are!
In the long run, the next generation is, but initially in the work place, they are not. It’s often a common feature for those who felt like they’ve master a subject, yet they haven’t. In the real world, the true masters of any subject, tend to not boast and tend to believe that they haven’t reached mastery yet (this is a generalization and not necessarily true for everyone). I’ve seen this at my workplace with both Millennials and with Gen Zers (Gen Zers? No clue what you call someone who is Gen Z).
Luna Lovegood yeah, I know. 1995/1996 to 2010.
As a gen z member please release me I don't want to be a part of the tide pod generation
That’s true tho. Like as time passes we see technology, information, and data rise. So it’s like objectively true that each generation is smarter than the previous. That’s what happens when you have more information, that is more relevant, that is more accurate, with more routes to get access to it, in more ways. While it isn’t immediate, seeing as millennials and current gen aren’t that different age wise and are relatively equal in their understanding and use of technology and information today, eventually current gen will surpass us. And as we gain more knowledge and truth about the world and universe, with more experience, we are wiser than the next one. Difference is we can use this too help each other, rather than divide us. Next gen can use their intelligence and we can use our wisdom to benefit everyone together, instead of just focus on ourselves.
That's such a good pen. It's so cathartic to watch him underline things.

Yeah but like nobody follows the age restrictions…
"Dopamine is the exact same chemical that makes you feel good when you smoke..." where did you graduate from, did you graduate at all? That's why I don't watch TV. Dopamine is the hormone that determines the value of a reward, of course it is released by addictives but it is also released when we do most kind of things that makes us feel good. Saying that "Phones are bad because they cause our body release Dopamine" is like saying eating is bad, or social relationships, or sex. It's just pure ignorance.
Yup. Watch his whole interview, it is endlessly frustrating.
I agree. I feel like he was ignoring the fact that there are age restrictions on those things because the do direct physical harm. But i guess it should be illegal to be happy
Made me furious. But I guess as long as you wear glasses people are bound to believe you actually know what you're talking about.
I never liked that video because he totally ignores what causes frustration, choosing instead to blame everything on stuff that didn't exist before.
Also, everyone always says now to avoid putting certain things online because potential employers will look for it and decide whether or not to hire you based on what you do on what's supposed to be your own time. Why isn't that ever scrutinized?

This video gave me so much validation. Generational hate is one of my pet peeves. I can't understand how quickly people forget their youth.
What I dont understand is why the adults bash the young aren't they the ones that raised them to be the way they are lmao they straight up generalize. I would like to see a video of the last generation and see what they where being called out.

OH
Ayyyyyyeeeeeeeee
Dopamine doesn’t just come from drugs, it comes from many other things. Some of those things is soda, and hanging out with friends.
Boomers themselves must have gotten a lot of hate from older generation. Like, imagine everyone older than you basically witnessed a World War, and if you complain about anything, they'd just say "nah that's nothing compared to what we experienced".
Okay, seriously. What is with the complaining about avacado toast? Why that specific one.
Because avacado is expensive and seen as a luxury item to the older generation and we are such degenerates that we put it on toast
The old complaining people don't understand how healthy avocado is and that a lot of young people want to live a more healthy life. Therefore dietary restrictions. Avocado has it's downsides as well: it uses up a lot of water (not as much as raising animals, but still) and has long transportation etc.
Avocados here in texas are like 55 cents at aldi like they're cheaper than cucumbers sometimes
How dare those entitled kids try and be healthy and not need 50 different high blood pressure medications by the time they're 60.
Tim Gurner is a multimillionaire who said in an interview last year: "When I was trying to buy my first home I wasn't buying smashed avocados for 19 bucks and four coffees at $4 each", and the story blew out, that's why so many reports talk about this specific subject, the thing is, the guy could eat avocado toast for the rest of his life and still buy anything he wants...
Why does the news care so much about avocado toast
Just goes to show many large news networks have the same script
"Oh no! the millennials will outlive us at this rate! Traveling the world, without a mortgage and a lawn to maintain...eating healthy at a young age, instead of waiting until high blood-pressure strikes!" "It all starts with those damned avocados!" *A glance into the Newsroom pitch meetings.
Because it's disgusting.
Because they have no good points
As a 70 year old mental health clinician, I enjoyed this video and would hope that the message is beyond obvious. The middle aged, the elderly, and the somewhat self satisfied, relatively young who identify with, and fetishize the past, all feel urgent envy of the young because, well, they are....uh....young. They look better, run faster, jump higher and have a few more years to do so. We, the geezer class, are hobbled by arthritis, overweight and gazing into the jaws of nursing homes and hospice. Go to your youtube comments on any video about Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson or Larry Bird and you will be tsunamied by an orgy of hatred toward Steph Curry, LeBron James and James Harden who, as contemporary players, are "soft." When one is caught in the eternal spider web of personal decay, hatred of those who are still intact may be all that one has.
THE FUNNIEST THING IS THAT MILLENIALS ARE ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD AND MOST PEOPLE THAT HATE THEM ARE IN FACT *MILLENIALS*.

@@cardboardpackage The last part was unhelpful, you aren't going to get people to agree with you by insulting them. The first part though, I agree with that. Small portions of money add up, and if you're wasting it, it's not adding up in your favor.
do the math, an avocado cost $50 and my son eats three a day, that’s 150 wasted on avocado bull
5Flux Well, I'm not American but are you SURE an avocado cost 50$? Wouldn't it rather be like, 5, 10$ at most? Or maybe the USA has just a problem with prices, idk
So millennials
1) invest in healthy food (avocados)
2) live bellow thier means (not buying houses they can't afford)
3) have less vices (less drinking)
4) focus on self health (self absorbed)
5) are careful to be extra polite to others (politically correct)
Sounds like a pretty healthy lifestyle those damn millinials have. How dare they have their priorities straight. Back in my day we blew our money and health by age 20.
Eating Avocados is extremely bad for the environment and you also support drug cartels in many cases so I wouldn't say eating Avocados is a good point.

Everyone: I hate millennials
This legend: *N O*
I feel like older people or most of them just had a tough youth so instead of capitalizing on that before they leave this world, they just want to feel better for themselves. I know still a lot of them actually care and give constructive critiques but sometimes they just want to insert pathetic remarks that'll make you think "Are they that perfect?"

“Millennials complain whenever they don’t get their way”...
Hmm...I guess Trump is a millennial then eh?
I think they overestimate the price of avocados. You’d have to buy an insane amount of avocados in order to affect your financial situation from avocados alone. I highly doubt that anyone bought so many avocados that it prevented them from buying a house.
And if they did, they could just build their house out of avocados. ;)

Older generations: *Bullies millennials to the ground and generalizes them to be the same clones*
Millennials: *Have the highest depression rates in History*
Older generations: :0
*insert Pikachu meme here*
I doubt depression is caused primarily from older generations expressing their juvenoia.
People don't usually think they are being attacked by older generations on a daily basis unless they have a serious problem.
Juno Chun I agree but adults are making their opinion clear on what they think of the Youth and that would definitely have something to do with it, especially considering that when most adults encounter youth with depression they just call it a phase or tell you to “just be happy” or that this “sadness” is caused by us feeling special and are depressed because we don’t get our way. Instead of helping the youth, the future, with its problems, they complain about it and bash younger generations for adapting to an environment that they created for us.
Interstellar Bagels It may also just be because they don't understand us just as much as we don't understand them.
The baby boomers were never as depressed as millennials were. I don't see why people have to take everything people say so personally.
Perhaps I just don't understand depression because I've gone through it myself.
Juno Chun Thats no excuse to constantly rant about issues instead of trying to fix them
It's classism disguised as generationism.
You won't hear anyone who lost their homes in the housing market telling millennials "to stop buying avocado toast". You won't hear a proud parent who watched their son or daughter be the first in their family to attend college just to be drowned it student loan debt and zero career options saying "millenials are the most entitled generation ever". And you won't hear the person who gave their entire adult life in service of a company just to have their retirement stolen from them say "millinials are lazy".
This is a matter of disconnection from the realities of today's market and economy by a group that became wealthy generations ago.
I hate to disagree with you there, but I can name like 5 people in my family that have had *those exact things* happen to them, and if they’re older than 40 they tend to hold the stance that millennials are lazy and entitled. It is generationism, and you’re right there is some classism in it, but as someone that grew up in a lower-middle class, and impoverished family, (depending on the time in my life), I can say that classism isn’t the majority of it. Keep in mind, I do respect and agree with your statement to a lesser extent, but, it isn’t all one or the other, but a healthy mix of the two. The classism of the wealthy trickles down into the poor where it becomes true generationism, as the people there genuinely believe the problem to be generational; that if they were in the same situation they would be fine because they are from a harder working, hardier generation.
Idle Canvas, rightly said. One can feel the falsehood when they say shit about a whole generation. Rich assholes were always like this. Now with internet and smartphone everyone can demand a lifestyle like rich assholes. And that scares the shit out of those older assholes.
This is quite simply the most honest and exact reply I have read in this comment section..😊😀
What I find so maddening about it is...if Millennials are such lazy, self-absorbed avocado eaters, WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS THAT?! Isn’t that at least PARTIALLY the fault of the previous generation’s terrible parenting/guidance?
It's just
I have a younger cousin and she was listening to me talk about Life and learning and growing. I then started talking about trends, I turned to her and said " You know soon it will be your time to change the world but realize that it is the job of the youth to charge head strong into the machine to make changes. Then the next generation goes headlong and so forth and so forth. So I don't know what change you bring to the world but I do welcome the lessons you will bring to me. Just don't shit on your youth when you get old, and expect to learn some trippy shit you never considered. "
4:44, yeah and when we exercise, when we work and feel happy about it, when walking, when eating healthy or unhealthy, when making good economical plans, dopamin is a reward system that always happens when we feel satisfied with something, the reductivness of using it only to connect to socially unaccepted behaviours is not what a knowledgeble person does, is what a desperate person does, or does he think we should put age restriction on happiness?

There is no official poll and no evidence of this. Refer to my above comment.
Tankerspam What do you mean shitfest of a world? The world has experienced some of the largest economic booms in history in this century alone. If anything, bad politicians and corrupt government is the result of economic setbacks. For example, red tape hindering entrepreneurs from starting new businesses, requiring useless and expensive licenses, "progressive" taxes making business owners move, high minimum wages hurting small business and useless laws businesses have to follow that use up capital for no gain.
I blame the 2008 housing bubble on government and big bank working together for their own benefits (crony capitalism/corporalism). It nothing to do with the baby boomers "ruining" something.
The only thing that the baby boomers have done that was very wrong was the hippie movement. Thank goodness it was small.
I don't get it. People constantly joke and talk about how crooked or corrupt the politicians are, yet they rely so much on the government to "fix things". Third party spenders are lousy. Government is no exception.
You can't say you're joining the real world if you're relying on government to help you financially through loans or welfare.

In my old mythology class, I still remember when we were reading about the Enuma Elish (some of the earliest mythological stories in history) it would start with new gods being created from the old gods and then the old gods complained about them being "loud" and "abhorrent", even to the point of considering killing the new gods, before the new gods overheard them and killed one of the older gods first.
It was a story that, according to my class, alluded to older generations were hating on newer generations since forever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They didn't creat gods they created mortals and complained about how their not gods.
I knew about old people hating young people in general, but reading the complaints about newspapers, books and busses was hilarious and enlightening. Thanks!
