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.

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.

[2023 Statista COD brand survey]

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.

Not all of them suck, but there's a very noticeable archetype. The tech-illiterate educated idiot millenial obsessed with lame trendy shit and appearances. Drives one of those outdoorsy "crossover" car for lesbians or some shitbox EV. Works a corpo job doing bullshit all day on a MacBook, sucking each other off in the meetings room or some other gay shit.

do people hate green day or something?

Their work past Dookie got cringe and they were part of 924 Gilman Street wich is the self proclaimed "libshit" authority over punk.

Millennial humour is a crime against humanity.

I saw a "spending my childrens' inheritance' bumper sticker on an RV a few weeks ago and it was all I could do not to run the old faggot off the road.

i guarantee these people also gave Facebook accounts bemoaning the younger generation cutting contact from their parents.

Can't believe yesterday was 24 hours ago. Wild how time flies.

all negative traits being attributed to milllennials in 99.99% of cases originate from american millennials since that "culture" was booming between roughly 2006 and 2016, when america was still the Internet powerhouse and most content circulating online originated from it
the remainder was spoiled kids with rich parents from English-familiar 1st world countries desperately trying to fit in with that "culture" - germany, france, benelux, italy, spain, scandinavia, the UK, switzerland etc
in my 2nd world post-commie hole i literally only know ONE typical soyjak millennial, but his family wasn't rich, they were filthy rich - the kind of rich that would have 4 first generation iPhones and 3 Aluminum iMacs in 2007s Poland (to put things in perspective I was using a hand-me-down 400MHz pentium II until roughly 2005, only getting a hand-me-down single core 2.5GHz celeron with 512MB of RAM and a 128MB card around 2006), the kind of rich that allowed their son to fully indulge in MTG since 2001, and he went from this typical bullied nerd (I was one of the bullies, not because he was loaded but because he was a pussy shrimp), to a "rockstar" sporting a glorious mane and wearing expensive black leathers, to a fucking skinnyfat soyboy who's balder than my knee and couldn't lift a fly holding the most cucked beliefs imaginable (he also still fucking plays MTG to this day)

From my younger gen X perspective, millennials were incredibly uncool. They never rebelled and never grew up. They did what their teachers and parents told them to, it is the first generation where it was ok to be into kids media as adults. Sure it is ok to be nostalgic about your childhood, but if liking the teletubbies is a core part of your identity as an adult, you are not cool. "Look i'm autistic and quirky", I blame the anti-bullying programs. I feel like a goth kid vs their vampire kids, to reference South Park.

Put plainly, people could get good paying jobs regardless of where they started in life or whether they went to college or not

There never ever was a period of "just get a good paying job", particularly not without college. If you didn't have a college education and you were smart, you would generally be able to price yourself into an entry-level job and work your way up from there, because your career was not transferable and they could count on you staying on. Degrees lost their value because everyone got one. In the millennial generation, working entry-level started to become closed off because the employee would soon leave for a better position, making the short-term hire a net negative for the employer. In the Z generation the route is closed off because nobody is willing to price themselves into a shit job, which is what you were forced to do in the past (or starve).

The job market as you imagine it didn't exist at all, and a normally functional job market did not exist for the millennials when they graduated due to degree inflation.

2012: "Down with the corporations!" - "Occupy" protesters

2022: "I support the Current Thing™!" - many of them then

Suddenly, circa 2013, Tumblr culture popped up everywhere.

Which was, in a totally not suspicious coincidence, after the "Occupy" movement waned.
