Someone Posts A Video Mocking Millenials, But This Person Had Enough And Summed Up Cold Facts In One Brutal Comment
If there were statistics showing which generation is getting trashed on the most, it’d probably be millennials. Older generations are unhappy about the way they work, live and spend their leisure time. They’re being judged for their addiction to smartphones, poor work ethic and sense of entitlement. However, it is worth noting that while some of these may be true, it is also important to look at the circumstances surrounding this generation to really understand why they are the way they are. Not a long time ago one satirical video depicting millennials was posted on YouTube and it received a lot of likes. However, no matter how funny the video might be (not to everyone, apparently, as the video has also been called cringy), one person was actually fed up of being generalized and forced into the so-called ‘entitled millennial’ frame.
Yet again, the millenials are under the radar

In it, the person was blatantly explaining why the accusations for this generation are simply ridiculous
Many people had their say and were supportive of the views that were expressed in the comment

Share on FacebookI'm a millennial and the only people who seem to complain about us are the ones who raised us. I guess it's our fault they raised us this way.
its the teachers and education system plus media government that put everything in kilter for for young people, not baby boomers. the system is brain washing children and young adults. young people are precious

They're the skipped generation. Gen Z is angry because people are so stupid sometimes. They're worried about the world they're going to inherit and how damaged and trodden on it is. I'm not speaking for everyone of every generation, but these are the opinions I've heard and seen. I wish we could disregard our age and just work together to make this a better place. Instead of arguing about avocado toast or the best era of music let's fight poverty, or elect a better president, or solve world hunger. Sorry for any typos.
Thank you! I'm gen Z and adults are always telling us how messed up the world is and how it's our job to fix it. It's a lot of pressure and it makes us really freaked out and upset to see issues in the world we're growing up in :(

If her generation spread as much love as the peace-loving generation of hippies dreamed of, our planet, (and race), will survive and thrive. Go, Millennials! I believe you are capable of everything and anything you want to create. <3
This topic about generation wars is getting old. (Pun intended, but it's true. I'm getting bored with it.)
Agreed! I wouldn't even know there was a generation war if it wasn't for social media.
Load More Replies...In his 20s, my dad bought a piece of land for about 500$ and built a house on it for less than 10k and that include a garage. The house is still there and my parents are still living in it. It's a fairly decent bungalow. I'm 35. After saving for 10 years, my boyfriend and I bought a piece of land in the same town. We paid 20k for it, which was a great deal. We built a house on it for about 230k, no garage and basement not even finished. Remind me who have it easy again?
Because you chose to live in a certain area with higher property values? Yeah you're abused. You obviously didnt check your parents income & hourly wages they were paid at the time huh? Get over it. It was different in their parents time too.
Load More Replies...More and more millennials are having mental problems like depression and burn-outs. One of the reasons of this are that they have grown up with al kinds of problems like the climate change. They want to change the world but they can't do it because off all those people who are denying their rights and having a comment on everyting they do.
Also, anxiety. The c**p we have to deal with is crazy, and we're left feeling absolutely powerless. Many of us are just struggling to survive.
Load More Replies..."hard working has never been used to describe a millennial"... excuse me! I've always tried hard to have a good work ethic. Many of my bosses would say so. I will take many other insults, but that one isn't alright by me.
Sorry, when describing Millennials we forgot to specifically address pusheen buttercup. We'll remember that you personally accurately represent your entire generation.
Load More Replies...Wait...my grandparents went through total hell to give their children, grandchildren, great- grandchildren etc a better life -- and they did!! They escaped horrible conditions in Europe not just to survive themselves but to give their future generations a better life -- and they succeeded!! That doesn't mean it's a perfect better life. Not to preach, but we shouldn't be trashing any generation including the current millennial generation. We can understand how history, including wars and horrendous sacrifices shaped the current generation. If my Grandfather could see us now he might be scratching his head but he'd be so happy -- and proud.
I'm a boomer, college grad. Got drafted and sent to Vietnam upon graduation. Mortgage rates were 18%. GI housing loans were not accepted because their mortgage rate cap was too low. First job paid $9,000 per year. No maternity coverage provided by employer. House prices rose faster than ability to save for down payment. The point is that every generation has problems. My parents dealt with WW II and Depression. My kids are millennials. One is head of cyber security for a large defense contractor, one is senior research engineer for a think tank and one has been President of a large retail company for the past 12 years. You are what you make yourself, not what you whine about.
I am so tired of all the c**p that they say about our generation... I know that it variates from country to country but in my home country the situation for young people is terrible. There is more than 30% unemployment in young people. And thats without counting the people who never could get a paid job (so they dont count as 'unemployed') and the ones who emigrated... I was asked two years experience to work as a cleaning lady and three to work as a cooks assistant (peeling potatoes). I could not find any paid job with a bachelor, two masters, speaking fluenty three lenguages and learning a fourth one... I ever had problems finding non paid internships for not having 'enough experience'....
How are we suposed to not have mental problems? To buy a house or start families?
