Who are these loser millennials?

[Anonymous]

I am an older millennials ( early 30s) and everyone I know and younger does not meet the accepted negative narrative of millennials. They are:

- well educated and ambitious about their jobs. Whether they’re in engineering, finance or public policy, they are go getters and hustlers. They take their careers seriously and are eager to climb the ladder.
- health obsessed. Peloton every day, work out and eat healthy is a lifestyle.Green juices and self care is a mantra.
- productive hobbies like hiking, learning languages, traveling and cooking.
- pet ownership and home ownership for those who can afford it.
- spotless and clean homes that look like pottery barn catlog
- serious relationships or in the quest for one.

I don’t relate to these lazy entitled millennial stereotypes at all!

Do we need to do this again?

My experience is the same. Except for one of my younger brothers who is a total bum. Still love him though.

Acknowledge that you exist in a bubble and move on.

In my opinion, there are also plenty of losers who check all of those boxes.

My only criticism of them is they seem work obsessed at so young of an age. Not a bad trait, I suppose, but I’m a GenXer “slacker”. Well that and their music.
Overall they’re going to do well and the world will be in good hands.

They also like talking about themselves incessantly.

Older millennials are 40-42.

Millennials were born between about 1981 and 1996. Those of us in our mid/late 30s are older millennials. Someone who is 40-42 is Gen X.

I think most millennials I meet are great. I am a boomer + my millennial daughter is much prettier, successful + athletic than I was or will ever be.

Take it from a boomer O.P., life is too short to worry about what other people think. No need for navel gazing.

I have seen a few in the 25-30 range that decided to never grow up.

You realize that most people who are in their 20s are fairly immature, right?

That’s not a new thing.

Surely all Peloton owners do.
