I don't read much in this piece that can't be claimed in a similar form by prior generations. Boomers were also hated, especially "hippie" boomers, and also grew up on a hugely transformational media -- television. Gen-X was hated as eternal slackers and sarcastic do-nothings who also grew up on early forms the internet. Millennials are also "hated" in these ways, also based on stereotypes and media portrayals. Really it isn't the age range people "hate", it's the lifestyle of a particular urban millennial with a particular life goals. When this generation is mocked, it usually isn't directed toward the guy born in 1990 in a small Midwest town who decided to hang sheetrock right after school, even though he falls squarely in this generation.
