Millennials

[Azzurri]

Only one of those points is true in my humble opinion.

Unless you are talking about the top 10%, I would say education is better nowadays than it has been in the past.

It has always been difficult to get on the housing market. The only time you can say it was made slightly easier is when the right to buy act was passed. Older generations weren't paying £90 for a set of skinny jeans and £4 for a cup of coffee, if they spent less making themselves immaculately dressed and sacrificed for a couple of years they too would be able to get on the housing ladder. Especially seeing newbuilds only require 5% upfront nowadays.

Absolutely disgraceful to suggest the reason I can't get on the housing ladder is because I spend all my money on coffee.

For one, I don't even like coffee, and secondly I spend it all on cocaine.

To be fair in my last job most of my employees were far older than me...50's and 60's...they were grey haired children. I am certain it was the industry rather than an age group.

Quite certain they were mental midgets for their whole life.

The widely accepted start of the Millennials or generation Z is anyone born from 1982.

they're essentially the biggest bunch of overemotional cryarses the world has ever witnessed

Did you see the way adults of the time carried on when Diana died? I'd be embarrassed if they were millennials

 

[Bluerifleman]

anyone else miss the 90s when everything wasn't serious business? like people actually accepted that life was crap and got on with having fun out of it instead of going off on self righteous causes and becoming vegans

Where you all on a massive come down for Diana's funeral? You all seemed to be taking that pretty seriously ya tories

I was in Ibiza when it happened and I was more upset by the fact that the Old Firm evening game got cancelled on the telly tbh.

Fair point. What I was trying to say is that it's always been like that. We just notice it more with social media.

Was it cancelled because of that?

Yep.

You can imagine the fume in Glasgow that night lol

I like when they say millenials don't travel as if young people can't be arsed. more like can't take weeks off work and spend $1000+ just on a plane ticket. I know you can backpack around Europe and stay in hostels,etc but still costs a ton to get across the Atlantic.

Enforced mourning of a royal for Catholic nationalists? What could possibly go wrong?

there was always nonsense online but now it'd going mainstream
Canada now makes it illegal to not use any pronoun a person identifies with; including if they identify as an alien; housewives are banned from adverts over here; the BBC literally advertises roles with adverts defining the races allowed to apply

hell saidque khan recently opened a 1m met unit to track down people who say mean things on twitter
insanity

Thats one of the problems with social media; it's given some horrible people a platform to air their views and people regularly cross the line.
