Millennials got shit on by the 2008 recession, threw a tantrum with Occupy Wallsreet, then got fucked with rising real estate prices. Only the smart ones who took care of milestones early (marriage, vehicle, house, kids) managed to make it out ok.
I don't disagree, but my great disappointment with the millennials is that they stubbornly held on to Leftist ideology despite all available evidence, even their own deaths, and are the most authoritarian generation since the Silent geners... and for no reason.
We will be worse than the Boomers. I promise you. We deserve to be condemned.
That’s true, same for the Gen who came right after millennials, the Xennial Gen or whatever TF my generation is called. There was a tiny window for my Gen to get life squared away before the economy went to shit and housing prices skyrocketed, and I’m guessing only about 20% of Xennials got it done successfully, so everyone else in my Gen and those who came after are in a very bad situation, and they all know it.
Xennials (the "Oregon Trail Generation") are the transition from Gen X to Millennial.
Zennials are the transition from Millennial to Gen Z.
And yeah, they're pronounced the same way, which is why I prefer Oregon Trail Generation for the former. I don't know if Zennial also has a cutesy nickname to avoid this ambiguity.
My Gen isn’t Z. I know for a while they wanted to include my generation with the millennial Gen, but the people born between 1977 to 1985 had a unique upbringing, so they came up with the term “Xennial” and called my generation a micro-generation, because it didn’t really fit in with Generation X or the millennials or Gen Z. We experienced two worlds in our formative years, one world where everything was wholesome America before tech took over, where our adolescent years were spent outside playing, fighting and being very active, life wasn’t childproofed yet so one of us might catch a lawn dart in the head on occasion, then we hit the workforce busting our asses, and from about 18 to 30 years old we watched internet and smart tech become a major part of daily life. The “millennials” and Gen Z spent their formative years buried in technology, and Gen X experienced life mainly like their boomer parents did with the same opportunities, whereas my Gen experienced life in both worlds with very limited economic opportunity in our future unless we did everything right.

You're called a Zoomer, and we're all kinda fucked in the same boat, in the same way.

Okay, my mistake. Yeah, I actually consider that 1980-85 crowd to still be Gen X, but I get Xennial.
85-90 at the same time is what used to be known as Gen Y so there is a term for it.
