Why do American millennial women (all races) all sound the same when they talk?

Deal with it.

for now

The next gen that's up and coming will be ripping you Millennials new assholes soon enough. Young isn't forever - you die young, that is.

Members of the millennial generation are as young as 15 right now.

We have plenty of time left as the "young group".

Besides, Generation X has done exactly jack shit. That's why you guys are so pressed and stressed about the next generation.

Well, we did buy real estate. For next to nothing.

stressed out about Millennials? only b/c they can't get their acts together

all bling and no substance

techies, yes - But so am I, and I've had to rewrite much of their "work" b/c it was superficial beyond belief. They've made more work for me and my "older" crew b/c they think that anything flashy can cover up for their lack of knowledge.

currently documenting one closely now who hopefully will be gone soon

What is it with the way it sounds as if every statement is a question? It's the weirdest way of talking.

I agree. I sometimes have to speak to someone who talks like this. I really have to strain to understand.

Doesn't it get embarrassing to be such a cliche, older folks? Really?

40 year old here. It makes me cringe when people revert to generational stereotypes and nostalgic "my generation is better" crap.

The 90s were original? Bell bottoms came back hardcore.

The 80s were a travesty, and their originality was ripped off of the zoot suits and early punk of the late 70s.

How can you rip off or commit "theft" of fashion trends and music? I mean, any more than any other generation?

In the 50s, the big acts co-opted the blues of the 40s.
The 60s co-opted folk music of the 30s.
The 70s, 80s, and 90s all riffed on each other, occasionally returning to even earlier decades.

Stop being all "get off my lawn."

I think Skrillex is pretty original - although he did rip off Corey Feldman's looks . . . and maybe Darlene's. But that comment is mainly for Gen Xers.

Of which older generations have smoked more than their fair share...

Um, no. Nowhere near as commonly smoken among women than at any other point in history. You've been watching too many reruns of Woodstock.

As commonly smoken.

(I'm not grammar-policing. I'm admiring alternative past participles. Really, I am!)

I guess I missed the point in time when dubstep, trap music, and grime were huge across popular music.

Oh that's right- I totally forgot about Procol Harem doing that brostep album and turning their set at Woodstock into a temporary rave.

Damn Millenials- we really do rip off EVERYTHING!!!

No, it's not. Valley Girls didn't invent it. And men do it too.

Also, there are annoying vocal trends in every generation. Listen to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars for the 70s version. That really bothers me for some reason! Golly Geez!

Dubstep is not even real music. My 2 year old can make those same exact sounds with his mouth.

Every decade has influences from the past.
But from 2000 onward there has been no influenced look.
Millennials did not use influence to create their own unique look they just hijacked the entire wardrobe of previous generations
