Millennial hate thread

[Girly Games Dot Com]

I think everyone is struggling right now and it's not just the zoomers. It's a very self centered to think they're the only ones suffering. The generational divide is only meant for marketing and perhaps a psyop.

do people hate green day or something?

Millenial-made media is such a consistent wave of derivative dogshit it's insane.

And the Millennial writing for it is just as bad. It relies on one-liners, sarcasm, and references to something and shitty character tropes that people hate: The girl-boss who can do no wrong, the pacified male who can't do anything right just because he's a male and is the biggest coward, the randomly inserted identity politics like a character coming out as gay, main character making stupid one-liners and shitty references. Lot of the writing involves something of the sort, but not always all of it.

I always found it funny that Millennials who were vocal about railing against the corporations and bringing change to society, ended up falling into line like the Boomers did after their hippie era.

I'm going to be nice. Compared to the apathy of Gen X and the ironic detachment of Zoomers I somewhat enjoy the earnestness of Millennials.

That's nice and all, but I find a lot of the most stereotypical millennials to be allergic to true earnestness. For example, one of the biggest problems with millennial-created media is that the writers are almost never able to let a serious moment or statement or point stand on its own. There has to be some sarcastic irony-pilled quip added afterwards. But it's not edgy sarcasm and irony, it's goofy sarcasm and irony that shows deep insecurity and a fear of having what they really believe in be scrutinized. I think this is one of the most frustrating things about millennials, and especially millennial writing, to me.

All the talk of millennial writing can just tie back to older producers liking the success of Joss Whedon (born in 1964, aka a boomer lmao) and then wanting it in projects they produced in hopes it would be successful again. Do that several hundred times with everything from action to scifi to horror and now its just a tired trope these retards grew up with and continue to emulate.

If anything millennials just see boomers and want to be successful like them, rather than going outside the box. The millennials inherited the box, painted it, and now refuse to go outside it.

There's a lot of millennial content creators that make depressing nostalgia content or commentary featuring their favorite video games, typically Call of Duty.

This channel above being a good example. Why doesn't he eat healthier, take better care of his stuff, and stop living in the past like that?

IMO the fixation on Call of Duty is likely because Call of Duty was the first "cool" game series that actually went mainstream.
Obviously there were plenty of cool games in the past like Doom, but COD were the first games where regardless of if someone was a nerd or a jock, everyone agreed COD games were cool, and either did play them or would play them.

Was curious about the COD thing, since I don't know any millennials who play it actively, and haven't been nostalgic for it per se.

Zoomers are more likely the general audience if this is to be believed, with millennials thinking it's more "gamer" to play. (Grain of salt obviously)

The mobile one has some statistics as well, with the average age being 21-35 as a bracket. So, zoomers and younger millennials.

COD was also big on youtube with CODtubers very early on, and I feel like that in itself might've one shotted some more autistic millennial males who liked COD in early youtube.
