Man millennials really like to do things quietly

[–] [email protected] 70 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It's rarely worth an argument. Especially for the early millennials that came up when boomers were still running around everywhere.

I don't know what the article says they're doing, but yeah, if there's a way to do something without having to talk to cranky old people about it, we're just going to do shit the quiet way.

Why give them the opportunity to turn it into an argument?

Dealing with those boomers is like dealing with toddlers.

I’ve explained this so many times. I grew up in rural Georgia and I’ve been shout and yelled at so many times by some old boomer dude that I’m just immune to it. Would rather just avoid listening to their bullshit at all.

I even do it on here lol.

Like, why would anyone ever waste their time interacting with an asshole?

But holy hell do they take it badly when you ignore them.

early millennials

Personally I prefer Elder Millennial. Makes it sound more dignified and you can never go wrong with an Iliza Schlesinger reference (she coined the term and named a brilliant stand up special after it) 😁

Oregon Trail generation captures it perfectly, but it never really caught on.

The "Oregon Trail generation" is generally known as the Xennials which is people born from 77-83, so it's not just Elder Millenials. I'm in this group and think Oregon Trail generation is a cooler name, but that's probably because I played a shitload of Oregon Trail.

I have never heard this but will be using it exclusively to describe my age for the rest of my life.
