"Millennials are killing socialness."
- frockington 9y agoThanks for the summary, no need to read yet another Millennials are killing ___________ "article"
- maxerickson 9y agoIt merely states that Millennials as a group scored as more lonely than other generations, it doesn't fabricate a reason or cast blame.
- djsumdog 9y agoI like to refer to Adam ruins everything on Millennials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HFwok9SlQQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HFwok9SlQQ TL;DW Generational titles (Boomers, Gen X, Y, whatever) are invented by authors to sell books. They never bring people up and are always used to tear people down. Everything said about Millennials has been said about every generation ever. You can take a Time magazine cover from the 50s about the entitled generation and slap a modern photo on it and it's the same damn thing. It's lazy. Millennials are the most diverse of any generation. That's about all you can really say, other than we're the most in debt and most likely to take unpaid internships compared to any previous generation. It's a straw man and it needs to die.
- nylonstrung 9y agoI agree with what you have said but there's also no denying that the amount of time at formative ages spent on social media and the internet is unquestionably greater than past generations. I have trouble believing that hasn't contributed to some idiosyncratic issues that weren't seen in other generations (as well as benefits)
