I mean, it’s been just long enough so that Gen Z can just start calling Millennials Boomers and placing the blame all on them… which won’t be wrong either. Overall, Millennials didn’t change how they lived to account for things like climate change. They didn’t stand together as a society and reduce waste. I’m as guilty as anyone else, but its cyclic and Millennials just got caught in the absolute dog shit part of the cycle where we were blamed all growing up, and will be blamed on the way to our deathbeds.
Cyclical but unjust. I already feel bad for the shit millennials will eventually get. They had none of the money or power to prevent anything. Yeah, “standing together” could have theoretically done something, but it would have required a degree of sustained (by which I mean decades), disciplined effort that very large groups of humans just aren’t capable of. Hell, just by looking at the cost of living, anyone can see that millennials are having a hard time simply affording to survive.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. I wasn’t meant to be bashing millennials, but rather pointing out that Gen Z will have sadly valid complaints, even if it doesn’t justify it because millennials never really had political control during our lives to speak of, partially because of how dwarfed we continued to be by Boomers, as a generation. Gen Z only outnumbers them because so many of them finally started dying. Millennials never had a chance, just like Gen X, who is just forgotten generally.
If the pattern follows, those young teen Millennials somehow are to blame even though there are Millennials in their 40s now.

Oh, I wasn’t getting a bashing tone at all!
