He's explaining why he, and others like him, have difficulty respecting the people for whom the word 'millenial' applies.
I think it's important to keep in mind that the term 'millenial' refers to actual people.
- tracker1 9y agoThank you, that's roughly what I was trying to say... short of digging up specific examples, that I don't fell represents the overall issue which is relatively hard to express void of specific examples. There are also plenty of people in the millenial generation that I wouldn't want to apply the term broadly to, because I think it has a relatively deserved negative connotation. Other than for comedic effect, I don't like generalities and stereotype expressions... but it really does seem to be a generational shift from a subset of Gen-X to a majority of Gen-Y and Millenials that just seem opaque when it comes to understanding anyone that doesn't agree with them, or has a different culture or perspective in practice. In some ways it's absolutely fascinating and in others it's absolutely terrifying and oppressive.
- ouid 9y agomaybe it's better explained by the fact that never before did the social circles of children and adults align so closely.
