Slow down with the humor, you guys. My sides are splitting, my knee hurts from so much slapping and there is Mountain Dew all over the screen. Shew. Need a spoiler on these. Rated L for LAUGHTER!
Maybe we should provide participation trophies for snowflakes who voted but their candidate lost.
Yeah because it was Millenials giving Millenials participation trophies.... Wait.... NVM it was their parents...who mostly are Baby Boomers....
BBS kind of has a point.. While Millennials are the Alien.. the Baby Boomers are the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. They created and cultivated us.
Umm no they aren't. Wrong again kiddo.
Baby Boomers were born between 1946-1964. Unless there were baby boomers having babies in their 50s and 60s, these little snowflakes were enabled by Gen. X and Gen Y.
I would agree that older generations (mostly GenX) helped pussify Millennials.
Didn't know that. Problem with that category, they don't know when to actually start the timeline. At least with Gen X it's clear cut.
Since, there hasn't been a set timeline for Gen Y. I personally think of millennials as 1990- and older. A lot of Gen Y were raised as Latch-a-key kids in the 80s as well with the late Gen X'ers.
The 1990s brought out the Helicopter parent.
See, I've heard some say Millenials are those born from 1980 and on. IDK if I agree with that, but I'm not sure I agree with 1990 either. Maybe 85? People my year ('86) definitely have many millennial traits. We were kind of the start to helicopter parenting and trophies. Always looking down at our phones. Entitled coming out of college.
I have slightly older parents for my age, but they are still firmly in the Babyboomer category.

You're prolly right Lineski. Thinking on the way home. Each gen is 18-20 years in age. Which puts Gen Y at around 1985. I just have a hard time calling Gen Y millennials.
It appears right now, with no set time line that millennials are a HUGE group spanning over 20 years

And there are definitely levels of being a Millennial. For instance, I, like many Millennials, am into craft beer and cocktails. However, unlike Millennials, I'll still call someone a ***.
Lineski, you were born in 85' and talk like that? Mixology, cocktails? **** man.
The 80s called, they want their ****** back.

I remember as a kid when they would give kids participation trophies. For athletes, we hated them. No one wanted the same trophy as the kid who used his glove for a hat and used to dig for worms in the outfield and couldn't hit. No competitors gave a damn about those trophies. They wanted the individual ones or the tournament champion trophies. You had to play in All Star leagues and summer camps to get those it seemed.
Those trophies had to have been invented by the parents who had kids that were terrible at sports.
No freaking way should millennials be considered from the 80s. There was a significant difference from kids in the early to mid 80s all the way to high school compared to the kids born around the mid 90s crowd coming up today.
One might say if you're worried about another person getting a trophy, then the problem might lie within you.
People that talk in specifics as if one group of people born in a certain time range have similar characteristics and personally traits are complete and utter morons. Just as accurate as people that believe in the zodiac.
