Why are millennials hated and zoomers loved?

Finally, here’s one on the double whammy of the Great Recession and the pandemic on the millennial generation in particular: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1232488

Young Boomers, or the eldest of Gen X are the parents of millennials. Correct?

Gen X here, graduated during a recession and my income has never recovered. I actually liked millennials and younger generations. Most of us Xers dislike boomers, and they treated us just like they have treated the millennials.

Boomers were born in 1945-1965.

Millennials were born in 1981-1996.

My parents were born in 1955 and I was born in 1986. So dead-center Boomers and an older millennial.

Boomer men are Trump’s base. Enough said. The generation that voted in Trump sucks.

So, yes.

So, yes.

Only sort of. Not entirely.

It’s largely accurate though. I’m gen x and too young to have a millennial child. As are most of my peers. Our kids range 5 to mid twenties with most being more later teens.

It’s not really accurate. The second half of the Boomer generation gave birth to most millennials.

We are saying exactly the same thing.

If you define someone born exactly in the middle of the Boomer generation as a “young Boomer,” then sure.

I’m a millennial at 33, own a house (my second property) and am doing well for myself. I’m not clued in to “zoomers” one way or another. I didn’t know the term existed.

I take so much heat at work for being a millennial - you would not believe it (fed agency). Maybe my boomer colleagues are annoyed that I’m so much younger and their peer - I’ve heard that I don’t “deserve” to be a GS-14 at my age, etc. Well, I worked and did the grunt stuff and made smart moves and here I am. It’s like we’re all 23 and dumb, like someone else mentioned upthread. I have never met a bigger set of complainers and whiners than my boomer colleagues.

Yup! Exactly. I’m the one who posted above about having a $350K HHI. I should become a GS-14 this year or next. I also worked damn hard for it.

I don’t identify with folks born mid 60s even though we’re technically the same generation. So the placement within a generation does matter.

But the point is boomer v millennial is parents vs offspring. But we imagine people much older and doddering/selfish or much younger and inexperienced/self indulgent when generalizing. And neither is accurate.
