"millennials are killing X" is code for
a) a tech company recently made an app that makes X more convenient, millennials like apps
b) millennials are doing X in a way that the older generation has been telling them is better (but hasn't been doing), eg β "If you cook at home you'll save money over eating out all the time", "Don't go out for black friday, it's not worth getting trampled"
c) boomers are grumpy as fuck and want to blame millennials for any damn thing just because
@tcql I'm on the cusp. Neither will accept me and that's OK.
@Averly i think being on mastodon makes you an honorary millenial though
@tcql Just look at my "profile photo" - that pretty much sums up everything π
@tcql b) is one of my "favorites." Boomers harped on how we shouldn't go out all the time to eat (and STILL do, blaming our lack of home ownership on fucking lattes and avocado toast) and then turn around and say restaurants are failing because of us. They said don't take out loans you can't afford, then ask why we don't have mortgages.
@tcql d) millennials don't have the money to do X because boomers ruined the economy
@DialMforMara @tcql e) millenials don't want to pay $30 for microwaved over processed guy fieri trashfood
@tcql tis easier to pass the blame than the fix the vice
@tcql
Millennials are killing X is the name of my boomer cover band.
@tcql @viciousviscosity As an Xer, pwease no steppy.
look, maybe X deserves to die, ok?
