Are the millennials a failed generation?

>>1212702
If you even have to ask you probably fall into the demographic

I'm towards the tail end of the millenials and I hate the rest of us fuckers. All they do is bitch about how depressed they are and debt and all kinds of shit. They don't know how to take responsibility for anything.

Yes.

Gen X is a failed generation.

Boomers are a failed generation.

Greatest are a failed generation.

>>1212702
No, most are just content with being wage slaves and living in debt but they aren't failed. I think millenials will be fine, a handful are pretty money hungry. Millenials just seem to have a higher concentration of stupid people who consider themselves intelligent than other generations. Almost every millenial I know consider themselves part of the upper echelon of intelligence. It's the pompous generation so far but not all of them are bad, I work with a kid who's 25 and he's one the most genuine and hardworking people I know.

>>1212702
Honestly, we're the only ones keeping the fucking ship floating.

Boomers didn't keep any maintenance or train the staff and instead decided to ream it into a few icebergs trying to find plunder, and now they're just a worthless crew member stealing our lemons on board a broken, barnacle-ridden, non-disciplined fleet of yahoos.

They are the thinnest-skinned generation that's for sure. Everything offends them. They even got Harvard to change the residential title from "Masters" because it reminded them of slavery. What happens if you want a Masters degree? And then morons at Yale got offended at Halloween costumes. I don't know why schools are listening to these retards.

Because they're retards with money, it at least student loans.

But yeah, I hate how this has become the generation of social media and entitlement. Every special fucking snowflake knows exactly what they're entitled to but nobody wants to accept duty or personal responsibility: we're so permanently attached to the feminist nanny-state's nipple that even as adults we demand to have access to every level of Maslow's hierarchy as a basic right. We're taught that everybody is beautiful, everybody is smart; every kid gets a medal because feelings are more important than facts and free speech is voluntarily waived because of the potential that somebody might take momentary displeasure in what they're hearing. We are the generation whose fathers will never be proud of us.

>>1212925

Don't talk about gen x that way.

They'll be in here soon to assert themselves.

The oldest millenials are around 35. NOTHING can be said about this generation's success or failure yet. Much stands to be seen when we take the reins of power.

>>1212948

I am gen x and yes my generation is pretty pathetic indeed.

shitty parents raised shitty kids that raised shitty kids that raised shitty kids that raised shitty kids and so on

>>1212956

It's clearly failure. It has been that way since the first millennial was born.

Not due to themselves, but due to their upbringing.

>>1212702

every generation thinks the one following it is doomed and the worst generation of all time

we'll be fucking fine, just like everyone else. All the pot smoking hippies in the 1960's were far greater fags than any current millennial and yet they largely turned out okay

>>1212756
Wew! Cycles of abuse! I buy that theory.

Worst Generations in order

>baby boomers
>ww2 generation
>generation X
>generation Y
>millenials

Millenials haven't even had a chance to prove themselves. They're just noe starting to get out of college and people are flipping out because kids raised by reality television and video games are more openly narcissistic than the previous ones. Key word is openly. Baby boomers like to act all wise, but they will shit their pants if you know more about a subject than they do.

But, all in all, pretty much every generation is shitty. The pendulum of civilization seems to swing back and forth from genocide to cuckoldry. There are a few generations in the sweet spot where neither form of societal decay is prevalent.

>>1212702
Failed in the sense that their progenitors have failed them

>>1212702
I'd say so. I'm ashamed to be considered one of them.

They consider anything someone does related to work and bettering themselves as "suspicious".

>>1213077
Naw. I'm generation x and I knew ww2 generation and baby boomers were better than us. I had the upmost of respect for my grandfather. That guy had some incredible work ethic. Woke up at 5 am every morning to make breakfast and work in the yard for a bit before he got ready for his actual job. Wore a suit and tie to work and when he wasn't working he wore a polo shirt with slacks. Was total class personified. He never procrastinated on something he could get done right now. Always had a story for every occasion. He served in the war before he had my father and never once complained about having to serve. He was a lone survivor because his whole squadron was shot down. Everyone loved him because of his charm and wit and because he treated everyone who deserved respect, with respect. This is someone who survived the great depression.

Our generations are getting progressively worse and I don't see that changing until one of them gets so sick of the previous one and returns to traditional values. Millennials are an absolute terrible generation. As a whole they don't respect anything or anyone and think that everything should be handed to them just for being alive. They live in most prosperous, most technologocally advanced time that our world has ever known and take it completely for granted. To top it all of they whine about how hard they have it. Social media is the worse thing to ever happen to our society as a whole because everyone feeds off each others sense of entitlement like its the new normal. Someone should just shut the whole thing down as a failed experiment.

Who gives a fuck. Everyone are dollar symbols to me. I dont give a fuck when you were born

>>1213107
>My anecdotal evidence means it's all true!

Boomers lived in the easiest time and then fucked it up for everyone else.

It's not really surprising that millennials don't feel a need or desire to bust their ass when you need a degree + years of experience to earn barely enough to live off in a job that used to be obtainable with barely a highschool diploma. Can you really blame them?

>>1213113
>Everyone are dollar symbols to me. I dont give a fuck when you were born

Would you say that is everyone simply a pawn in your game of life?

>>1213116
They should be feeling it more since that degree ensures their survival.

Mommy and Daddy might throw their parasitic asses out at any minute and drop dead so if they don't work harder they will literally starve and die.

The fact they still decide not to work shows that there is something fundamentally deficient in their generational ethic and culture.

>>1213129

Boomers fucked everything up by protesting for civil rights and against the draft in a war that made no sense?

The only reason for even talking about generational differences is to understand different markets to sell them products because this is/biz/ and folks have product ideas..... I mean really am I actually responding to you? Pls go.

>>1213131
Then work harder to make yourself more competitive.

I've never had a problem getting a job since I actually do work, competently at that, and have useful skills I gained through schooling and working which my millenial trash peers don't have since they spent all their time partying like fucking degenerates.

And they have the gall to "complain" about the reasonable consequences of their stupidity. It makes me sick.

>>1213131

Naw. You guys are just complete pussies. I can't name even one generation in the last couple millineum that had it easier than you faggots.

Option 1;
>Work your ass off to barely get noticed and rewarded for years just to get somewhere and buy a bunch of shit you don't need to impress your neighbors

Option 2:
>Work a laid back minimum/close to minimum wage job with no real requirements or responsibilities that lets you afford your hobbies and gives you the time and energy needed to do them

That's the problem, Baby Boomers think they're not the problem.

Oh no! For 2 whole generations? Protip: there is a financial crisis every decade or so. Suck it up pansy. You should be ashamed for even calling this a financial crisis. You faggots literally live in one of flourishing, financially vigorous times ever. Money is practically flowing in the streets.

>Whatever helps you sleep at night

If you are supposedly such a successful /biz/nessman then why are you on /biz/ with all these "millennials" you supposedly hate so much, Mr. Belfort?

Don't kid yourself. You're just a self-hating millennial desperately trying to convince yourself that you're better than everyone else and smarter too, ironically enough you're doing it ON 4chan. - A website consisting of NEETs, mentally ill people and social outcasts.

Need I remind you that according to the last big poll around ~50% of this board was unemployed?

>>1213169
~50% unemployed

Guess you know which 50% I was in then.

Even if most of this site is full of unambitious workshies there's still a few people here worth associating with. Not to mention stirring retards up is pretty entertaining.

>>1213168
>>those who work hard are scamming criminals

I never implied that.

I just meant that it's quite clear people who are "successful" here are at most in college expecting to become investment bankers and picturing days of strippers and fast sports cars.

Eventually they get out into the world and realize that no, you're rarely ever rewarded for your hard work and it requires many years of hard and unnoticed effort to finally get one of those "respectable" positions.

>>1213167
The Great Depression cleared the market. It was a reset. We got a faux recovery, stagnating wages and a whole lot of our time (and earning potential) eaten up.

Meanwhile, Boomers got: their 401ks saved, their earnings maintained, their portfolios rescued etc. Pensions rescued.

We'll have the "privilege" of a World War and massive civil unrest to live through too.

Meanwhile you faggots will be crying about losing your house values and how we are the worst generation ever. If I could, I'd throw every boomer into a wood-chipper and raise my kids (which I could then afford to have) with the knowledge of the massive faggotry that one generation inflicted upon society.

>>1213173
Nice damage control.

>massive faggotry that one generation inflicted upon society.

Hint: this generation was the boomers.

>>1213172
>Even if most of this site is full of unambitious workshies there's still a few people here worth associating with

The ones who lie and make up stories about being rich on /biz/ and then when asked for proof they coincidentally disappear?

Don't kid yourself, this would be believable and all if you said it on any other website than 4chan, but here it's just not really feasible.

I can only imagine the type of "successful" person who spends any considerable amount of time on /biz/. I mean I can see the appeal in Trump Coin, Pepe coin and Wojak coin threads for an aspiring businessman but I would imagine that an already successful business man wouldn't waste his time reading about how Ethereum and Pepe coin are about to hit the mopn

I'm not a boomer, idiot. I also have not heard one boomer ever complain about declining house prices. My parents bought a house for $80k and today that house is worth $550k. You do realize that the housing market is still in a bubble, right? I can't even respond to any of your arguments because they are all strawman.

>>1213195
And social media culture has bled out into real life. That means it's more visible in real life too.

>>1213200
>I also have not heard one boomer ever complain about declining house prices

Because they are about to enter a 15-20 year bear market.

There's a dipshit boomer on /pol/ (probably a mortgage broker or real estate agent) who keeps posting repetitive threads about how millennials suck and how he hates that they cannot afford mortgages etc. etc.

They aren't all strawmen. QE has been a giant exercise is propping up asset markets. And as the Boomers currently occupy most of the top positions theyare cashing out while everyone else is getting laid off, or eating massive pay cuts. And they do this while disparaging the youth today.

Most of the Boomers were busy chatting shit and rutting in the mud at Woodstock. They are an awful, awful generation. Corrupt in political office. Corrupt in corporate office. Responsible for cultural Marxism, many of them are closet Marxists and are anti-free speech.

And they are pushing these junk ideologies onto an impressionable youth today.

i really can't tell senpai.

on the one hand i had literally 0 competition going into the biotech industry. my resume was dogshit and my education had nothing in common with what the laboratory required me to do. after 3 months i was promoted to quality manager, and in 2 years i was doing research work at the same exact level as phd's in that field minus the authority.

growing up i was always one of the top 10% or whatever of academic achievers and athletes around me. a good half of those top 10 were immigrants and/or really rich kids. and i fucking hated studying or playing sports, i just thought it was something i had to do and put the bare minimum effort in and wow that test was just like the homework and the homework just repeated what she said in class. wow getting better in sports is just practicing the motions over and over.

i didn't think i was smart or hard working because i spent most of my time playing world of warcraft and trying to fuck girls and there was still competition among the overachievers and all that. i did not notice how many people were wasting even more fucking time sitting around and eating and watching tv and waiting for something to happen in high school and college. i just thought they cared about other things and focused there.

on the other hand i meet a ton of young guys who might have thrown their childhoods away to cheap entertainment, but developed into normal adults and caught up quickly. i don't believe that spoiling kids actually fucks up their brains that much, and for many if not most of them, they have no option than to adjust and grow the fuck up after school. and i don't know about how the social media trends correlate with reality, but this generation is really starting to be conscious about how health and hard work are the most valuable parts of adulthood, even before considering quality of relationships.

boomers were the failed generation. they destroyed culture, economy, gender relations and a proper future

Boomers are just as whiny if not more so. "But I pay taxes! Why don't these millennials just pay back every cent so they can suffer while I cash out and leave my own offspring in misery?" Yeah, congrats you pay taxes like every one else. Want a cookie? They think doing the bare minimum means every one else deserves to suffer so they live in luxury from cradle to coffin. That's why boomers are so hated. Millenials just have a" bad attitude" but their worst crime is listening to their elders about going to college instead of thinking on their own. Or being too reliant on others. That's not nearly as bad.

Kek. I don't think I have ever heard a boomer say that before. Are.you sure it's not just your own parents who cut you off because you are a spoiled, entitled brat? Even now all I hear is "wah wah wah" from you. Holy fuck take some responsibility for your own life.

The truth

>>1213274
Yeah, nah. You're out of touch, but that's ok.

Every generation has had its stupid movements, moronic participants and consumerist bent. The current generation's is just more visible because social media posts don't disappear and are easier to distribute broadly.

Used to be that when you did something stupid all you had to do was move a state away and start your life up again. Nowadays, you have to move halfway around the world, and hope your stupid shit doesn't go viral.

Bottom line, millenials are no stupider than any other generation; it's just that the stupidity is on display more, and for longer, due to the persistent nature and proliferation of digital media in everyday society.

Are you serious? This is all my boomer parents (and other successful boomers I work with) talk about.

My mom literally broke down & cried about "muh taxes" when I told her I was voting Obama.

I work in a white-collar office in finance; everyone above the age of 35 bitches about taxes, and how they can remember when good ol' Reagan was in office because he single-handedly saved the economy and lowered taxes and snuffed out the red army and destroyed liberalism and eliminated racism.

It's honestly mind-boggling to me that you have led your life to this point without having ever encountered people that bitch about taxes. Do you live under a rock? Are you & all your acquaintances on government assistance? Or are you just 16 & have never had a peer-level discussion with someone above the age of 20?

>>1213113
Agreed. I don't see why people are bitching about such things, just mind your own business and make money. If it means that you have to adapt into what the current generation wants and needs then fucking do it. The only people who are allowed to complain are rich people, poor people have work to do.

Butthurt boomer detected.

My parents never gave me a cent and all they did was complain to me about their taxes when I said I was going into public service for loan forgiveness. They get seriously pissed off that students are taking advantage of loan forgiveness policies or not even paying student loans so they can afford to feed themselves. Muh taxes, muh hard work, muh shake the boss's hand to get a job. Boomers are seriously out of touch with the modern world yet they are still hypnotized by the television and watch the most vapid shit despite criticizing their kids for doing the same things they do.

Boomers only had worse foreign policy to worry about(drafting). As for everyday quality of life, they had a fucking cakewalk.
>Much less qualifications required for better work.
>More middle class jobs available.
>Cheap college, only needed bachelors to differentiate.
>housing equity went up substantially, while they were able to refinance at super low interest rates.
>easier to become well socialized without getting information overload on internet

Boomers were pretty much handed easy ROI, all they had to do is not fuck up.

Millenials are getting crushed by asset inflation/wage stagnation

It's why they hate their jobs and don't have families--no hope of an upward trend

More like setup to fail. Soon only the rich will be able to afford to live in Singe family homes while most will end up living in fucking condos/apartments. The response to "We need more housing" is BUILD CONDOS. EVERYWHERE. I see no value in these types of homes as you are buying walls and not land.

They've been promised nothing less than the end of the world for their entire lives
It dosen't really matter what kind of identity they have as Americans, all that answers is wether they'll die quickly or slowly

Honestly, every generation deserves respect even Boomers. I think when you try to tear down anyone its just not productive.

Boomers gave us all this, I am sorry but they did. Apple, Microsoft, Nike, Rock music and videos started by Boomers. So respect that at least.

Generation X are doing some cool things like Elon Musk of Tesla and Large Hadron Collider type stuff.
Gen X are probably going to monetize and popularize space travel overall.

Millennials are special cases, not "special" but unusual. They were brought up by a low EQ and greedy generation who all wanted to be rock star, sex gods with the eastern mysticism knowledge and kung fu reiki tai chi ginseng aura crystals secrets of the universe crap.

Imagine a person like this trying to raise a kid, of course there were going to be a lot of shitty raised kids. "Sorry son, daddy needs to go away right now and find himself in Thailand, BRB 1 year, don't worry I told your mom she can sleep around" I mean fuck me, how can a good kid come from that.

The thing that got people started on Millennial hate was that though times were bad they picked up this arrogance from their parents, and acted how they were taught to act, being sure that they were special, to consistently believe in themselves and not be humble and to have a dreamer not a doer attitude.

This attitude was incongruent with having the second worst depression in modern times. When people were looking for a savior Millennials stared down at the politicians and whores and said "no". This one thing started peoples resentment against us.

Then SJW movement, being an overall PITA and getting old people fired for saying transsexuals can't use women's rooms really compounded it to this pure hatred we have today.

TL;DR Maybe. We need to step up and stop causing social upheaval, help restore economy and make more white families.

Well I'm a failure that's for sure.
Failed highschool, as I fucked up two subjects and few vital projects to get the diploma. Tried again next year to pass the failed subjects only to lose steam and crash before it started.
Now I'm working as an untrained, unlicensed plumber "practitioner" while living with my parents and doing nothing about my life. I have zero drive or motivation despite wanting to do something chalenging with my life.
My peers however are all successful, attending colleges and universities all around the world.

Thanks for reading my blogpost

>>1215833
All the kids I graduated with and are at Uni have complained very openly about their $58k of debt. If you are a USbro, having positive net worth is putting you above 90% of your graduating class.

Not doing any of that. Also thanks Li Sheng for the advice about what to do for uni with my parents stealing my identity. Unfortunately, they don't want to be in any way helpful with my trying to restore my credit after their wrongdoing.

Anyway, I work a minimum wage job (am in the application/interview process for one that pays higher) and simply trying to afford to finish school, but I literally can't afford it. I might be able to get accepted somewhere where I can finish, but I still haven't gotten a response.

I think millennials are probably the most dangerous generation since the 'lost generation' of the 20s and 30s. Similar environments play a role and the millennials are far more prone to mass propaganda and hive mentality.

Get enough of them idle and suffering and they will submit to radical ideologies much quicker and with a fervor not seen since revolutions past. To boot, most of them are narcissists and egomaniacs, and the vast majority are going to fail to feed these egos with individual 'success'. Thus, a mass movement with the promise of historical accomplishment will be extremely attractive to them.

everyone's a failure in life.

Well I guess atm I'm a failure as I'm almost 30 and never had a real job before but I did graduate college a few years ago. I'm an anxious mess though and I've been having to deal with that for years so the job thing is even harder. Things have gone into an improvement direction but still not knowing what my real purpose is or if I'm ever going to really be happy with whatever comes or just gonna end up miserable no matter what I do. I mean in plenty of ways I already am. I'm just so scared and I can't even imagine things like retirement and real success being a thing I'll have and I'll just be a wageslave.

Millennial.

Also, Millennials, like any other generation, have strengths and weaknesses on the average given the circumstances they grew up in. The idea they're more technical than people in older generations is false. But they certainly understand the nuances of internet and text-based conversation better than the older generations.

Weaknesses include a general lack of soft skills for the same reason as the above strength. When confronted with silence, millennials always pull out their phone. They use it as a crutch as to not have to deal with any sort of uncomfortable social situations. I'm really not sold on the whole "they're entitled" thing. That seems to just be a general trait of young people in every generation. And frankly, nobody is more entitled than old people, and their outrage whenever social security or medicare is threatened shows that.
