GenX didn't blow every little issue out of proportion. We also didn't get bent out of shape every time we heard something that offended us, we also didn't expect everyone else to change their beliefs and behavior to suit us. On top of that, we never went out of our way to destroy a person's life simply because they held a belief, or said something, we didn't agree with.
IMHO, I think Dave Ramsey was able to sum up Millenials by saying that your generation can be divided into the self-entitled losers or “rock stars”. No in betweens. My generation - children of a self-absorbed generation. Maybe some of us became self-entitled and had the self entitled Millenials. Others succeeded in not becoming their parents and raised the rock stars. Just a hypothesis.
@@crystalwalker6496 Very humble for you to present your p.o.v. as a mere hypothesis. But youre even more a firsthand witness of whats screwed Millennials than I am. Im a GenX parent with a 30 year old married daughter & an 18 year old son whos just starting college. My kids have been out of the nest a long time now, so by no longer being able to watch their behavior firsthand, or through their peers, I no longer know whats going on with the younger crowd. From what I HAVE seen for myself, though, youre right. Theyre either so self-absorbed that they literally WILL NOT stop staring at their phones (even when crossing a busy intersection) or else theve adopted a "diva" mentality Ive seen GenX parents unwilling to enforce "fully unplugged" times during the schoolweek, also parents that havent put their foot down to make their video game addicted children do their chores & homework. So I saw alot of slacking on the part of parents too. At the same time I blame alot of parental lax on the times we live in. How our industrial lords & masters have depressed wages so badly & brought our standard of living down to where two (Millennial or GenX) working adults cant pay the costs of living & maintain an inhabitable lifestyle. Its tough to discipline your children & spend the time they really need with you when youre usually at work. And then when you ARE home, youre too exhausted to do your job as a parent! The way I see it, THESE are the reasons so many Millennials & GenZ are screwed up
The parents of millennials are responsible for raising self seeking, spoiled, and lazy children. It's also the fault of millennials since every man and woman is ultimately responsible for their lives and the actions they take or not.

The first time companies have been allowed to blame consumers for not buying their over priced shit. It's not anyone's Job to keep you in business, it's the businesses job to make themselves appealing.
Fucking A!! I use "cuptowels" at home, for eating and wiping things. Paper towels in the car. Because i had no money forever!!! And why buy a house when ur young & broke you'll have no money for upkeep and repairs that u could call the landlord for.... Besides waiting tol your kids are almost grown up, and buying something smaller and cheaper that they won't destroy, and can sell quickly or live in when i die makes more sense!! Sorry....i just kinda lost it. 😰😤😖😷😎😢😳 love to hep
$5 coffee, $12 avocado toast, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, RUclips red and whatever other subscriptions then tens of thousands of dollars in debt for an unmarketable degree. Yeah, very financially responsible indeed.
@giftofgab247 Go ahead, I live on 50% of my income in a 4plex that I bought with a VA loan and have tenants paying all of my expenses. I paid cash for my car and have no student loans. What are you doing?
@@bretroberts950 i spend most on chaw, and u know my son and my house costs less than rent. I own a dump truck with a lisinced business and im 22. We rnt all dip shit hipsters.
@i. rob it's not the house, it's the land upon which the house sits. Ever heard of the 3 things in real estate that determine price? Location, location, location. If a house is in a town where the demand is high, even if it's a small dump, it'll increase in value. If, however, it's in a dumpy town where no one wants to live, even if it's a mansion, it'll fall in value. It's never the house, it's the land.
Yep. I have no idea how my kids are going to be able to find a place to live, I really don't. They've got us (parents) but everyone wants their own space as adults. BTW Gen x
Honestly most older people today say that schools should brings whips back so if the kids do the slightest thing they get whipped so yeah this is basically true. Except or irl people and not Spongebob Squarebob Superbob
I’m 27 and I have no idea about “millennials” or generation z and stuff like that. But everything is far too expensive, and when I do spend money I don’t want it to be on mediocrity. I don’t plan to buy a house at all because the maintenance of a property is exhausting, not to mention the property tax and the mortgage that comes along with it. I already have two kids and I DEFINITELY DON’T want more. The price of child care is absolutely abysmal compared to the hard work put in for a paycheck. Places charge too much; three items ranging from a board game to an action figure ran about $50+. WHY, Toy’s r Us?! We are forced to be frugal and focus our money on the necessities and products that we actually want. Why spend $47 at a restaurant where I can buy ingredients and have what I like how I like it and have leftovers? Millennials aren’t the problem- it’s the economic state of America.
I'm 24 and I think we're both considered millennials. Either way, even though I make a good amount of money, I feel like food prices at main stream dine ins like Applebees and Buffalo wild wings aren't worth it. I like going to small company or family restaurants.
Sounds like you're living within your means instead of running up unnecessary debt so someone else can buy an ivory backscratcher. The only ones complaining got the itch.
Eddie Brock I absolutely do- I refuse to live a debt controlled life; I’d rather stay in an apartment and drive an $800 car that I own so that I can go and explore the world and interests rather than grind and worry 24/7. Why worry and stress about keeping the repo man away when I can eliminate the circumstances for one?
Diamonds are extremely overpriced and worthless. You can buy a man made diamond for the third of the price. Cuts glass and all that. Technology is great. And the bigger the diamond is; the more you love her is B.S.! Whatever happened to marrying for love only??? Millennials have figured it out!
Todd, tradition is the diamond should cost 2 1/2 months worth of a person's salary minimum. And if someone gives you a dollar gift are you happy? Do you think they care about you? It's to prove your love and to show you make enough money to be able to support a wife. Plus it's tradition. Those fake diamonds I can spot a mile away. You don't care if you're wife will be embarrassed? It's easy to tell a fake diamond from a real one, same goes for gemstones.
Cre8tiv Place the problem there is that diamonds seem to have become necessary. Plus there are so many other ways to prove your love other than a compressed piece of coal
Society was making similar complaints a hundred years ago. People just hate change. They always have. Thanks to the internet we all get to hear about it. That’s the only real difference.
I was still in primary school when that occurred and I remember how stupid the economics seemed back then... Even at twelve years I understood that it's impossible to generate infinite profit from finite resources.
Dylan I am very sorry to disappoint but it kind of is, economics nowadays is not quite that simple and I feel most people fail to understand it and I wish schools would take the time to teach it. LIke the practical know how
Gabzo, that's the philosophy of venture capitalism, but this fails to account for wage equilibrium. Wage equilibrium -- where the minimum wage maintains pace with inflation -- debunks the concept of infinite profit generation. It just isn't possible. Sadly, the wage *isn't* keeping pace with inflation, hence why venture capitalism is profitable over the longest possible time span.
Gabzo Avro I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's just common sense at work. We have finite resources, and finite ideas, but the market is deemed unlimited in it's potential, which at it's core is illogical. There's a reason why the housing market before 2008 was unsustainable, and it was because the sheer deregulation of the industry. It's arrogant to think the market will just grow permanently. As a system, it's ok to proceed on this assumption, but as a species we have to be conscious that unlimited growth is simply impossible.
Every generation thinks that the newest generation is causing the world to end. I am a Generation X, and I heard about how lazy we were, yada, yada, yada. They complained about the youth in ancient Greece so don't take it personally. I am rooting for you guys to change the world in Wonderful ways! ❤
the sad thing is I am starting to hear melenials do the same which gets me freaking upset. Can we just stop this cycle and start respecting our differences and moving on. Holy shit
As a GenXer, I am aware that each generation has its own lifestyle, values, and circumstances that change with the times. Millennials are what they are because of the times they were born into. I hate the blame game hurled at each generation. Each era is different because change is constant. Who destroyed the typewriter industry, the horse carriage industry, and other ancient industries?
I'm from Peru, I have a job, a legal job, work 10 hours a day (8am to 7pm, 1 hour for lunch). I earn 1500 soles (450 dollars) a month. Studied management on one of the best universities for 5 years. The average department rent (in one of the middle districts, not poor not rich) is 1600 to 1800 soles. So I can't even move out from my parents house. I'm 24. And all my friends have it just the same. It's a general problem here. People always say our generation (millennials) is lazy, but the truth is that we work more than ever before for half the money. Having a good decent happy life is harder than ever.
Costs rise when there are more buyers than sellers. Also called supply and demand...So if you $$ is low there are more people doing your job than there are jobs available . Rents are high because there are few places to rent and a lot of people looking to rent ..
True. Just look at how Disney/Lucas Films is handling the Star Wars flops. They killed the franchise and it's the fans fault for not liking their crap.
Millennials aren't killing anything. Companies refuse to change and advance, suffer in their profits, and blame consumers for their poor business practices. Cars didn't kill the horse industry, horseback riding had to adapt with the consumers.
How can you adapt Horse industry? How can you make horse faster? How can you make Horses cheaper than cars? Horse industry still exists tho, people ride horses as a sport.
23 106 23 106 to answer your questions in order: 1. They adapted just fine by adding carriages, competitions, etc, to make buying a horse more appealing. It was no longer the only way to get around, so the industry had to stand out. 2. Selective breeding and genetic engineering. Something I'm sure was talked about in your 9th grade biology class. 3. You can't, in this system. Horseback riding has become a luxury. It's demographic has shifted, and if companies can charge more, they will. If you wanted to lower the cost of owning a horse you'd need to lower breeding costs, building costs for stables, feed, veterinary care, etc. 4. If you would read my comment more carefully, you'd see I never said anything about people not riding horses. I said the market adapted with consumers. It's place in this current market is as a luxury sport and a hobby. And if a company is failing, maybe they simply refuse to change. Nintendo used to sell playing cards in the 1800s, but they're still around because they take risks and aren't against changing.
@Ann Linley except nobody wants to become a socialist country, not even millenials. We just beleive we all deserve affordable healthcare, affordable education and wages that actually keep up with inflation because we have strong unions to bargain for us. The Scandinavian countries who use these social programs and provide free public college and healthcare through taxes. There economies are booming. Guess what ? They are still capitalist countries. They just use forms of democracy and socialism that actually work. There minimum wages are high. There economy is still booming.
.... i live in a socilaist country and we are relitively happy and healthy.. and our country is doing fairly well? idk how you see it as a failure if you look after your own people better? as for " when did the poor eve give you a job?" um maby if your 1% didnt hold all the money and power they woulnt be quite so powerless and poor??? ............ im pretty sure your the financially illiterate one here Ann Linley more money in circulation means more things done with it. when the rich keep it in off shore bank accounts doing nothing its a disgusting waste that stagnates the ecodamy. when you impose taxes that money goes to pay for the countries infustructure, roads, schools, healthcare, police and firepersons... it pays for those jobs, and the education creates more jobs too. the money moves and circulates as it should. when the rich sit on it.. its worthless. just numbers.. stagnation. and they make produts poorer.. and they chargr more for less and they underpay their workers just to add more to their number. your kissing the hand that slaps you when you support corperations.
@@vsaucepuppet697 Reinforcing completely unaffordable govt programs like Medicare/Medicaid (70% of the US budget) and subsidizing tuition which drove college expenses through the roof, the housing crash, and continually raising taxes that force younger people into debt. #NotAllBoomers but you get the point. You essentially have to go into debt to be in the upper middle class now.
@Luke Drinking from Alien Titty Subsidized tuition is absolutely still a thing. There are a ton of subsidized student loans dished out every year along with subsidized scholarships, like the FAFSA, which an overwhelming number of college students apply for. And the whole retirement vacuum thing isn't an effective solution, because different generations tend to see massive market migrations. That was one of the major points of this video: Different generations have different economic demands, necessitating new markets. In the boomer generation, job markets were much friendlier towards people who hadn't gone to college, and you could usually get by fine on a high school education. Millenials on the other hand are expected to attend college, or vocational school at the absolute minimum, to even have a chance at staying in the middle class. There is no demand for granddad's job on the factory line anymore, just for the 10 engineers that replaced those 100 factory line workers. And the engineers had better have a bachelor's degree and 5 years of experience to have any hope of landing that job. But if you can find me a job where I carry heavy feed bags out of a truck that pays enough to support me through college like my grandfather did, please point me to it. (Seriously please point me to it, I'm already behind on rent.)
Polydynamix, ummm...... I think we can agree on that. If I'm not mistaken there may have been a touch of sarcasm in the video. I appreciate your taking the time to remind us of the gravity of the situation though, and of course, how old millennial are. Duly noted sir.
It's almost like the material conditions people live in cause people to adapt to those conditions to survive. That's still a radical notion for a lot of people.
I thought not buying a house or car you can't afford was being responsible. I thought cooking at home was simply being responsible and a necessary skill to learn. I thought to avoid purchasing luxury items was simply being smart. I even thought not having kids you can't afford was being responsible. What the hell was I thinking? How about if no one is buying your product make a better offer. And the failure of Toys R Us has nothing to do with millennials. That has to do with poor management and being saddled with the debt of the company that bought you out.
It was already dying before now. When I was a little girl and my brothers were little boys back in the the 90s and 2000 Toys R Us was so expensive that we could never go in and buy anything hardly ever. My mom refused to go in there and buy anything. She thought the prices were freaking ridiculous you could buy the same 64 game at Walmart for half the price. Toys R Us is jacked up because their name was Toys R Us. It's no one's fault except for Toys R Us.
I went to Marie Calender's. The rim of the plate was hot, but the food was cool, which suggested they took it through a microwave or hotplate or something related. I ended up after tip spending 14 dollars on that. Contrast that to my local ramen shop, where they make the noodles every day, they talk to you while prepping your meal, and are overall nice and give freebies. They also charge 2 dollars less for that meal. I don't mind going out to eat. I just have less tolerance for cutting corners and charging the same as a company who does not cut corners. If that means companies die so be it.
It's probably more generational problem. The previous generations are now old and resistant to change. The problem rise when the previous generations fail to communicate with younger generation. Previous generations think that younger generation are lazy, privileged, and stupid, while younger generations think that previous generations are boring, old, rigid, and unable to understand them. It's a classic parents-children relationship. So, the businesses need to grow up and adapt, stop whining that things have changed for the worst.
As far as housing goes, when I was in high school ( 1998-2001 ) the economy was in full swing, and going to college, getting a job, and buying a house was an expectation. By time I had finished college in 2005, the country was anxious and war was all we talked about. The whole country actually changed in my first quarter ( yeah, we had quarters instead of semesters at my university ) when the towers were hit. By the time I was ready to enter the workforce... there wasn't much workforce to enter. Now buying a house doesn't seem like the normal thing to do, but rather a dream that I might never achieve. We aren't failing the system... the system failed us.
eXite Video Magazine I graduated in 2010, when I was 16 I would often look for a job but I could never find anything. I always felt that people saw me as lazy or unproductive
Arvak777 getting my first job was pure luck. That’s always the hardest. Getting a job is like getting credit. They keep saying you have to have one to one. But I guess that was a life lesson, seeing as how after college, every job seemed to want a 20 year old applicant with a Master’s and 10 years of training in the field. Lol.
I'm a Real Estate Investor that owns 15 rental properties. The best thing about Millennials is they pay the rent on time and never have to chase the rent! In the 5 years, I have been a Landlord I have never had to evict a Millennial! Currently, I have 6 Millennial families living in my rentals. Next year I plan to build starter homes that are 1,433 Square Feet. My plan is to build one every 3 months. There are plenty of people out there that want starter homes!
I'm a Gen Zer, and I personally don't see why millennials are always blamed. If anything economics plays a huge part. Both Gen Y and Z lived through the great recession, so no wonder why we spend our money differently.
if you want to find someone to ready blame, its Reagan and the baby boomers for fucking up the economy, allowing stock buybacks, major deregulation, and stupid trade deals, leading to a bust and boom cycle that caused many of those crashes. The baby boomers were the entitles ones who lived during one of the best economies in history with amazing wages during their times turn around to blame later generations while they voted for short term gains and to fuck up later generation. Look at Climate change, there was proof that our carbon outputs were having an effect on the environment ever since the 90s, but the people in power (baby boomers) disregarded the evidence and continued to help the fossil fuel companies. Tax cuts, tax cuts they said, they want tax cuts, slash that 90% tax on the rich down to 37% percent they said. Allowed stock buybacks, why not, the rich needs to get richer. What came from that? Social programs are gutted, a ever increasing military budget that rivals the next ten countries put together, wages became stagnant, because why invest in the workers when you can buy back your stocks right? The companies in the US are making record profits, but our infrastructures which were once the pride of the US are now ranked a D at best compared to other countries. Infrastructure are crumbling, while we are still throwing trillions at the stupid and pointless war in the mid-east.
This is the way it always goes. Always need someone to blame. This is why Billy Joel said "We didn't start the fire". I didn't understand it as a kid when I sang along to it, but now in my 30s I realize this is how the world works.
I think you need to sit and reflect on what the world was really like for the Boomers post WWII. It was vastly different than today, people had to do menial tasks for small pay, most ran 2 or 3 jobs in order to survive. Heck, these so-called millenials dont want to work even 1 job.
Because they're crucial and important generations on this time. They lead this greedy and mad world , raise their misbehavin kid who play fortnite at home , They faced with global economy crisis , struggled for money to cost , bill , rent (everything is so expensive compare with back then ; inplation) you'll eventually even more understand hardly why millenials are depressed now and what millenials struggled for. That's called the 'Adult burden' and also called a 'duty'. Be strong anyway!
@AKARI bezos is a jackass, he doesnt use his billions of dollars to create more jobs enough for many more people to beable to buy his product or even purchase a communications company.....richarcd branson thought he could do this but he keeps saying hes rich and bails out of anything because of his mood swings....just like the government these capitalists are dumbasses and dont realize they shoot themselves in the foot trying to create their fortune
r4444 c the media is going too far beating up millennials. It's a breed of rich kids in a Californian neighborhood that cringes them out so bad and the media focuses on it. Most are normal people.
Colby Thornton Right because millennials invented drinking and driving. And drugs. And I don't even understand what you're trying to say with the rest of your "points"
no your not. You work as little as possible and put the least amount of effort into everything. And want everyone else to pay off your debt rent food ect. Because your self entitled pussies who care more about getting facebook likes than making your life better.
I'm a boomer... and I LOVE my Millennial friends. They're smart, nice, energetic, feisty and compassionate. I encourage and support them in every way I can.
2muchtv I thought you said SpongeBob was taking a break. No one's taken a break at the Krusty Krab since the Chum Famine of '59. Haha! Now, what were you saying?
Got too many baby boomers that refuse to change. And often those are the same ones running those businesses so they'll never adapt. I get that it's scary when the world around you is changing. I'm Generation X so the world is a lot different from when I was growing up too, but I recognize the fact that I need to learn all these new technologies and new ways of doing things. You don't change you get left behind.
Ew. Their food is just over priced Lean Cuisine and the dining experience is barely a step up from McDonald's. Pro tip; if you want me as a repeat customer don't sit me and my date next to the screaming toddler table and serve a half microwaved TV dinner for $20 a plate. Also younger people are broke and all have at least one family member with violent alcoholism so that's why your $10 drinks aren't selling like they used to.
Outdated? If anything, all these new companies are far too expensive and non-family friendly. They're only around for rich college kids. This vid was absolute bs.
Sai Chilukoori Hell yeah they're rich! Since Mommy and Daddy are doctors and businessmen, they've always got money to spend. These kids are always at expensive new restaurants, constantly buying expensive games, taking expensive traveling trips, yadda yadda, while everyone else is busting butt with their families trying to survive. Many of us are homeless, living in shelters, small apartment, single parent household, living in a bad neighborhood/projects, etc. we used to have small businesses that cater to us like Dollar stores, thrift stores and cheap restaurants but everything is being replaced by expensive stores and restaurants for these rich kids. Anywhere I can get a cheap handbag for $3 or $4 at thrift shops are disappearing. Now there's these new stores with bags prices skyrocketing through the roof. They're at least $40 to $50 per bag. Outrageous. Instead of replacing old businesses, they could simply cooperate with the old business or cater to ALL their costomers rich and poor.
Eric Nick The new business owners and their customers since they're all rich college students. No, I'm not the "very person this video is criticizing" I'm a millenial like you. I'm 19 year old and poor. I see how sad it is for homeless people, families and children who can't afford anything while these rich kids indulge on their $25 Panera Bread and Chick-Fil-A. You're the reason Dollar stores are disappearing and prices rising.
The starter homes is so incredibly true... Since land is more expensive, contractors tend to build bigger homes on the same land surface so they can compensate the more expensive land for the lost profit. The starter homes could be apartments, but people won't let apartments to be built outside of cities. And in cities land costs are astronomical so they end up again having to make expensive apartments. You basically have to choose between expensive apartments and expensive houses.
Mitchell Alexander That mindset is wrong, you can't force it... You can encourage it, but it will not happen. What you can do, is going the opposite way. Less government, less regulations. That means small businesses can appear outside of cities, and people can start living and finding jobs outside of big cities. otherwise nothing will ever change. You can build infrastructure but that will take time and money to handle massive commuting.
I was born in the 70s and I've never bought paper napkins in my entire life. I've also never eaten in shit places like Applebees - if crap food outlets are being killed off then good.
Dear Millennials So far so good, but don't become crotchety old hypocrites when Gen Z tries to be adults. All generations have said the older ones are hypocritical, but then they get old and hate things hypocritically. Please make a new concept of old generations helping and appreciating younger ones, instead of scolding children about how the 90's were the peak of human civilization. Regards, Gen Z
Jack Hood Dear Gen Z well, the 90s were the shit. Never forget, But since we have the technology lets visit it together. Hell lets visit all that we can so we can learn from mistakes and broaden our minds. Even get to understand our mothers and grandmothers better. Lets be kinder. Lets be nicer. Lets work together. Lets forgive each other. Lets teach each other. Cause right now you may need us but one day we will need you to be in charge and guide us. Let do that, hand in hand. Love, Millennials.
Jack Hood idiot. This new generation will be our downfall. They will be too stupid to solve the world's problems and will be end of humanity. Also, the 90's were the peak of human civilization.
The comments proved Jack Hood's point. And @ Jack - Hypocrisy doesn't have an age limit. Some Millennials, Gen Z, Boomers, etc are hypocrites, some aren't. And you get people who agree more with the general views of a different generation instead of there own. Generation categories are kind of silly for that reason: age is only one factor of many that make up a person's views/perspectives and lifestyle.
It's hard for me to cry a river for the paper napkin industry or mediocre restaurant chains. I'm not a millennial, but I rarely buy paper napkins or towels. Are any of these alleged sins worse than the Baby Boom's mortgaging off our economy and such? Am I to understand that the Baby Boomers are all saying that their own sins pale in comparison to eating avocado toast?
It doesn't, the impulsive and reckless predecessors are the ones who decide to make scapegoats out of an entire group and throw all their problems unto said group. Certainly isn't right, but that's how imbeciles act. Bad apples in every generation, but the overgeneralized hypocrisy still isn't justified.
Why are you so angry? Do you think anything has changed since the 1960's? Throughout time people have always looked for someone else to blame, you are not a scapegoat, it's just life, and it sucks.
I don't know if anyone truly believes that being born in a particular time period makes a person bad. But by blaming the world's problems on another time period you feel better about your generation by comparison. Acknowledge the problem but blame somebody else so you don't have to take responsibility.
I was worried this was going to be another blame the millennials video! I'm a gen x & I absolutely hate it when you guys get the blame for things like you arrived fully formed with no input from previous generations! You guys are doing great - sod the people who blame you for everything. This video is so intelligently done - good stuff! Though I still blame the generation of the early 19th century for the death of the horse & buggy...😁
Horse and Buggy was effective at transportation, with very little resources to manage it. Plus you have horses who are now out of jobs. #Bringbackhorses
We've just been dealt with a bad hand. I was at Denny's with my girlfriend at the time and a lonely 90 year old man was apologizing on the behalf of his generation for ruining everything. He made so much sense. We sat there and listened and admired this man.

Ej, I checked into solar, here the electric company still charges you a monthly fee even if you get solar! And they don't pay you the same per kilowatt hour price for your extra energy that you pay them for the same thing! You just can't win nowadays. Years ago electric companies were required to pay people for their extra. Not anymore, here anyways.

Who doesn't say wtf this beer was made less than 7 miles away at a local brewery and at 10 gallons a keg that would be a 1000 bucks they tapped out. No wonder people would prefer to stay home and brew their own beer then drink it.
I use to eat it all the time in college, but then it hit me that the food actually has barely any flavor. I have no idea who considers little flavor as "high quality." I would say edible.
“It’s the duty of the business to cater to their consumer...it’s not the job of the consumer to keep anyone in business unless we want what they’re selling” THANK YOU!
Yup. Businesses aren't about making money, it's not some machine you crank in your office and dollar bills come out of it. It's a service to the community, and when it isn't performing a good service anymore... RIP.
Right! Like in the replies section under every Trump tweet is a bunch of old ass motherf*ckers blaming millennials for all their problems. Millennials and Gen Z are the future. We’ll burn the entire system to the ground and start fresh if we have to. 😉
I hear this from my Grandma a lot lol too much Fox News. We aren’t killing anything corporations feel entitled to our hard earned money without changing and catering to a newer generation. Great video 👌
Quantum Kitty Ah shut up with your mediocre "talkin" "point" like a regurgitated redundant rat ! Shut the hell up about Fox News At least they do research, that's why they are the number #1 news Network for like 20+ yes..So that's a lie by you. You and corporations have problems they pay all the taxes to support your dumbass and keep taxes coming into the treasury so we can have wealth and freedom and services daily and enjoy our way of life.So shut up little girl and take responsibility for your disregarding "action" .Just run your mouth like a little mouse ,get up and make a change ,good luck ! Little girl .🙄So disappointed 😥
Dillon Mo' coke I remember seeing a post about that. Paying 60+ dollars a month when roughly $16 of that is ads? You got life fucked up if you think I'll pay for that. I'll stick to Hulu and Netflix.
It comes down to disposable income. We get paid less than previous generations so we spend less and look for more ways to save. Some of these dying businesses I would've considered using but they're luxury items that I don't need. And I need to save money. If I can plan ahead why would I have children before I could afford to pay for them? Productivity has gone up but pay hasn't. The wealthy are making more than ever. The profit split has simply changed. People can't spend what they don't have. If this continues the economy will stagnate. This is why they're hellbent on cutting regulations because it's the only way they can make more money since people are spending at their limits. It'll reach a tipping point and the regulations will be forced to return. They'll do their best to skew or delay but in the meanwhile they'll have made several fortunes so they'll still have that wealth to buy themselves out of illegal or uncomfortable situations. We've simply made them more powerful and influential than before.
True. Although I currently really like Generation Z. I feel like many Millennials realize the generation before us screwed us over and we want to protect the generation younger than us. Of course values change as a generation gets older, but we'll see.
FutureNow WTF? Leading to ban guns? One day a criminal will have an unregistered weapon and will threaten you or your family. If everyone is armed to the teeth them even the government would think 100 times before trying to imprison you over some shit law that benefits the rich for the rich by the rich.
We are just aware of the abusive business tactics that have been going on for generations. Instead of just angrily ranting like our boomer parents and not doing anything about it; we adopt more efficient methods. Money wise, we can't survive without being efficient these days.
Economies fail when people can't afford things. It's easy to say "people aren't buying these because no one wants them." Do people really think anyone would rather piss away money on rent when they could actually own their own place, a piece of real estate they can get a return investment on (and preferably without a dystopian HoA attached?) The rate things are going, the next two generations won't even be able to afford rent without skimping out on or giving up other necessities. Economies like this do not last. Moron economists will say it will, and that higher wages won't help the economy, but the truth is - no one's going to be buying Xbox's, Ipads, and go on vacations when they can't afford to, and those kinds of industries will collapse as a result. It doesn't pay to not pay. Unfortunately, the 1% no longer seems to remember that fact and just keeps squeezing harder. Right up until they find it's their heads that will be popping off.
Littleman I imagine an America where the average person doesn't even own a stove because "too expensive" lives in a tiny apartment with 100 other people and can only afford to run a mini fridge. I hope it doesn't get that bad.
Littleman this is retarded, rent makes sense in a lot of contexts, but as it is, housing prices are far higher than ever before compared to what people are making.
It's kinda true. I can't see myself leaving my parents house soon because it's just unrealistic to live on my own in the next decade. What's the point of killing myself working to have all the money spent on rent and food. It would be living just to survive, I would not be doing anything with my life... at least living with my parents I'm saving money for the future...
Contrary to what ur saying I personally believe smaller cities or cities with large emigration currently will either grow or rebound big time. There will be a day when Chicago’s prices drop hard because of the large emigration and it will become a cheaper destination. The market changes over time. Eventually people will start leaving the currently in demand states which will lower prices and the new cities or rebounding ones will be attractive and if becomes a cycle. The point is the populations of states in the mountain west will increase soon and the south and Midwest will be more attractive with prices either cheaper or falling, which leads to a yo-yo cycle.
CAYNE247 old people have paid tax their entire working lives, probably paid for the public hospital you were born in, the public school you attended etc. Your enemy is bastard's in shiny suits that manipulate currency inflation and corporate greed. A small percentage of old white collar criminals.
Bradley Bowen partially true. There are much more baby boomers than millennials. (Hence the term baby boomers because they bloomed like flowers in spring.) Their money went to previous generations, and their generation. The baby boomers money is running thin. So they get more from gen x,y, and millennials. That's how it works. So millennials will be getting money from their offspeings generation. The cycle never ends
Corporations are also killing themselves by only caring about their profits and stock holders and not paying their workers at the rate of inflation so people don't have disposable incomes like they used to.
Reality check....A job is only worth so much $$..It doesnt matter what your expenses are individually. When cost are excessive your jobs move where it is affordable..Out of the country. May not be right but its a fact.. Just as you buy cheaper products made in China and put your neighbors out of work when their companies close..If we only bought American we would pay more but be better off in the long run..
This video could be alternately titled: "older people interpret the world evolving and changing as detrimental because they are irrational and cling desperately to the reality they were raised in out of principle and for personal comfort"
*@Roadkill* More like now that we've attained the age our grandparents were 40 years ago, we are now able to see the same subtle (sometimes not so subtle) spiralling descent of standards all around us At this point in your life any complaining GenX (or Boomer) just sounds like another tired old grump to you. But as we're hitting 50 & 55, those of us who didn't turn out to be couch potatoes & actually maintained some muscle tone can still hold our own against a belligerent 'teen or twenty-something: strength *and* experience And when you eventually gain the perspective that only *decades* of life can provide, then you'll realize our complaints about the worstening conditions in society aren't simply based on some melodramatic attachment to the bygone past. The 70s & 80s are just as unchangeable as Roman Times. And although its nice to remenesce about them every once in a while, many of us still look forward to the future. Not every GenX is bent out of shape or depressed about the 21st Century- - that's nothing more than a hollow stereotype 🙃😊
It's kind of hard to get jobs, too. I was jobless for 2 years despite applying literally everywhere I could work, and one day my mom called me chewing me out and accusing me of leeching off of my parents ON PURPOSE. She literally said, "I don't understand why you just can't work as a waiter or something. I was a waiter when I was your age." Because MOM literally 40 or more people are applying for every single job! I know this because I know people that do hiring and they all told me every time a position open they get dozens and dozens of people applying! I can't just "get a job". If it were that easy, nobody would be fucking jobless. Luckily I work at Menards now.
Part of the reason why we can't get jobs is because the internet (inadvertently) killed the process: When I was younger (I'm 40 now, so I belong to this generation), I would fill an application, then go to the interview. That was an opportunity to showcase my intellect and professional skills. However, with the internet, if your resume doesn't check boxes, then they don't have to explain why you didn't get the job (or interview for that matter). The previous generations could work for 20 to 30 years with little fear of layoffs and retire. Not or generation.
Pro tip: watch the video before leaving a comment based on the title alone. Toys "R" Us went bankrupt as I was editing this video and sure enough, articles are blaming Millennials for not having more kids. Not, you know, the fact they failed to compete with Amazon and had $5 billion in debt. We've received over 200 subscribers since the last video, which means next time I post we'll hopefully have 1,000 subscribers. Thank you!! I don't currently make any money from this channel, so I appreciate all the support in the form of likes, comments, subscribing, and sharing my videos.
FutureNow Nah, Toys R Us failed because of a certain RUclips channel of a little Asian kid playing with toys. Kids would rather watch a kid play with toys than play the toys themselves.
+TheUKNutter So you’re saying a new trend emerged in the toy market they failed to recognize and adapt to. Again, it’s not the kids’ fault for wanting different things. Regardless, the toy market has actually grown even as Toys ‘R’ Us lost the share of that market they controlled and Amazon’s share of the market grew.
FutureNow Yeah I think RUclips has caused it. I have 2 siblings, 4 and 8, and they haven’t bought toys for 2 years ever since they found out about RUclips Kids. The company should have cashed out
I'm a millennial and don't own any real jewelry and will never buy a real diamond. I can use that money on food or rent. Plus I lose my jewelry anyway.
That is literally my dream! But only the greedy evil ones who don’t give a shit about their team, their products/services or their customers ... they need to go!
@@valerieferro4886 actually I told the guy that a corporation is made of people.....if you have bad people you will have a bad corporation... Corporations themselves are not evil....it's the people that run them.
The reason the toy industry is going to the dumps lately is because people already moved to a newer market which is the video game industry and movie industry and still growing. Video game industry take over toy industry Online streaming service takes over video rental stores bigger better corporates buy off smaller industries and milk them for all they are worth
Smithers 501 im a boomer, 1960, currently 58, consider that we pretty much set up the scenerio for the way things have turned out now for millenials. Through our cultural movements and political statements that have dominated industries. Granted i was only 9 when woodstock happened but i remember it was the talk all over, we were the ones that broke the order, we were the ones that broke the routine and norms of a consetvative society, we shaped the now into what it has become.
Smithers 501 why do you think we were outraged by Kennedys assassination? He could have been the beginning of a domino effect in a change of the system as a whole, by the simple act of shifting government spending from war and the military toward scientific and medical research. Up to this day the military industrial complex is trying to recapture its hey day when most everyone was on board during WW2, because it was an economic boom, and nobody questioned a thing til we came along.
We can't buy houses to expensive, we can't buy cars to expensive, we can't have an education to expensive. What will be the next thing they want to forbid millennial's from having. But of course it's our own fault. It was just as hard for them.
That’s the thing, it wasn’t just as hard for them. Everything was much easier for them because their wages were actually fairly suitable for making these sorts of expenses.
FutureNow try telling them that. Also most of our parents have paid off mortgages good pensions out for a meal everyday. Yet won't help there kids trying to feed themselves for a week with £10 left after paying 70% of income on rent Just preach how hard it was for them with no carpit etc.
FutureNow there parents could'nt help them back then but they could at least help with some clothes / shoe's for the kids etc. We don't care we will get buy the best we can. I'm sure i will help my kids a lot more when i have the opportunity.
Ron some people were privileged enough to even be taught too read and right, so use this privilege to make others feel even less privileged. I bet that's not the right to or too back there i know it is painful and impossible to (too) read now.
I think that even if the video title is ironic, using it perpetuates this ridiculous stereotype of millenials. This in and of itself is problematic. Instead of going for a triggering title for views why not put a title that is a truer reflection of millenials. If you say people who are anti-millenials will click on this, watch it and change their opinions that's unlikely as they'll glance at the title and feel their opinions are reinforced. There's no incentive for those who are anti-millenials to watch this and that's a shame.
Judging by many comments I’ve received plenty of folks have watched this expecting it to be anti-Millennial and being pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised. I definitely get the criticism of the title, though.
Fun story. I used to work in a franchise packing and shipping store. One day my boss decided to retire and he sold his store to a baby boomer who immediately doubled our prices, got pissy at people when they saw the prices and walked out, got visibly angry when he felt people werent spending enough, and was all around lazy and unprofessional. Eventually people stopped coming to our store altogether at which point this baby boomer decided to blame his employees (mostly millennials) for and i quote “being too nice to people who arent spending enough money”... didnt take long for all of his employees to quit leaving him without a single person who knew what they were doing. All the stores this baby boomer took over are now empty buildings... and that is the story of baby boomers and millennials. The baby boomers have been greedy narrow and short sighted fuckwits running everything they touch straight into the ground by being excessively greedy and self centered. Than they have the nerve to point the finger at us.
I stopped going to Olive garden when I realized I could make better pasta at home for about 1/8 the cost. It's truly astounding. You can make a very nice fettuccine alfredo at home for a couple of bucks, or you can go to the Olive garden and one plate will cost you almost $20, or higher. I don't understand it. I was born in 1991. I live in VA. Just letting you know. I apologize if that is an overshare, but for sake of argument, I'm sure a plate of pasta in California is much higher. I just wanted to give a clear perspective from my seat. Most of my friends are 40 years old, or older. This has been true since college, because my own generation drives me insane, and I cannot identify with people younger than me at all.
Just ran across this well made video. I don't believe millennials are killing anything. The video does a great job at acknowledging that markets are changing. However what's always left out is the effects of growing technology has on our view of the world. Today, there are more reasons NOT to go to places. We don't have to go to multiple stores and shops to compare prices and products when we have the internet at the ready. Why wait in long lines when we can get the best price shipped to our doorstep in 2 days or less? We don't have to rent videos when we can stream it wherever we are? Competition isn't that new mall or department store in the area, it's everywhere. The world that the millennials grew up in and the way it continues to evolve, it's up to past generations to understand the change and evolve with it. The story isn't the new generation ruining everything, it's a story of the older generation resisting change and that's the story as old as time.
Indeed, well put. I could have gone more into the effects of technology. I am actually working on a video on how evolving tech is transforming the jobs market.
Just as consumers flocked to WalMart and shut down Main St., people are flocking to Amazon and shuttering the malls. That's all fine and dandy, it's the consumers choice, but those are jobs, and not all crappy entry level jobs that are lost for ever. Every store had an owner that paid employees, rent, taxes, and provided entry through top level jobs. Oh well, we can't complain about not being able to find work if we don't actively support business that reside in our communities because it's a hassle to go places. Peace!
jamie t I get where you are coming from with the jobs. But isn't it the responsibility of the "adults" to build a solid infrastructure for the future to build upon? What happened to this infrastructure that civilizations rely on? Maybe the previous generation didn't think hard enough and thought they could squander resources willy nilly instead of investing it into the future.
The term killing the real estate industry is a little outlandish. People are still renting and need a place to live. As the population of the United States grows, more houses and living space will be needed. We are buying fewer houses yes, but apartments and other rent-based housing vehicles are growing.
no wrong. Immigration from India and CHINA is ridiculously high they number in the 1.2 and 1.3 billion and they are legally entering the US , hyperinflating our housing market. Even if we do create more housing, the populations double with children and immigrants children. If you've seen what's happened to EUROPE and their refugee crisis, that is foreshadowing for the US. As well as CALIFORNIA,Seattle and Portland; California is showing why OBAMA's cheap credit and education for all , is the spoke on the wheel that will cause the next ECONOMIC crash in the next 5 years. No Rural Town will be left. Genetrication (of all races) will destroy rural communities. Rent Base housing as in like AirBnB, that is not even a long term option. VEHICLE housing is not growing there are restrictions against it. COMPANIES, NIMBY are restricting people from parking their vechilces to sleep.there are so much LEGAL procedures against that, that make that super hard to even be thought of. Real Estate and Travel Industry are alive and as good as ever . Hold On !!!..... Then you have the Student Education DEBT Bubble that is waiting to burst in the next 2 years. Defeaults on those loans are increasing, that is a huge sign of economic stunting. To top it all off... A.I is taking over ( Uber, Google,Warehouse, ) and jobs will be super competitve. So the EDUCATION system has to get ramped up. ..to teach the next generation for new jobs. They can build a Wall whatever but also please do ban H1B1 Visas, Dreams about American retirement in Mexico are over... OBRADOR is now the president. There will be a Mexican's first policy over there now. Americans act quick now... CHINA is gaining up on you....and it looks bad once they take the lead.
Maybe the time has come for building smaller and more affordable housing. It seems like new homes only start at 2,500sqft and 400K, which serve to drive up the smaller older homes prices. My first house was about 800sqft, which was plenty for a single guy with no kids. It served well even after marriage until kids came along. 1200sqft is plenty for a family of 4, but they sure don't build them any more.
Actually the population is declining. People have no need, desire, or money to pop out six kids anymore. It used to be 12 kids, half would die, the boys went to war, the girls got pregnant and they all worked the farm. No farms, no drafts, longer life expectancy, social shifts on acceptable marital age, all means less need to breed. Some places the low population is becoming a problem.
Rusty Gears Yes, but globally the population as a whole is declining. 7 billion and getting smaller. Feel really bad for Europe and Japan they seem to be taking the hardest hits. Can't blame the Chinese because they don't have enough females to keep their numbers that high. At the rate things are going it will be one world government and i'm not sure the world is ready to try to get along.
The boomers shout Gen X. Gen X shouts at Gen Z. Everyone shouts at Millennials. Millennials shout at everyone else. Meanwhile in parliament or the white house the people that should be shouted at laugh at the pandemonium.
I’m 45 and I LOVE to hear the fresh and unexpected ideas the millennials have !! AND......I don’t think I’ve worked and talked with a kinder, gentler generation.❤️

GF and I won’t get married for a few years, and won’t have kids till much later 4. Love local craft beer/cocktails, high quality restaurants that source local ingredients
svfutbol20 yeah don't use the word Cali it's dumb af... California known for its trees and literally we provide the country with our stuff..but do your thing man in AZ
Dude I know tons of people that live in Cali and they all use that... And no, you provide the country with your imported stuff because you have all the ports that trade with the east. Good for you. And btw I live in Ohio, so every time you see an American car there is a high likelihood that it was made within a couple hours of where I live.
I’m a millennial and I HATE craft beer. I love coors light. Panera bread is ok but too expensive I love McDonald’s. If you’re that stupid to believe fast casual is considered “fresh”. You really need to leave mom’s basement. Yea it’s fresh...off the food service truck. I don’t know why anyone actually believes that restaurants push for local and other bs about their products. It’s all off the food service truck people. You believe that the chef goes to the farmers market every morning and picks the freshest highest quality blah, blah biggest marketing ploy ever.
What about Generation X?! I have a video addressing that as well --> ruclips.net/video/pqwOEY6sR7I/видео.html
wel im gen x i dont will die if i dont have internet or smartphone by one day
Ok millennial
GenX didn't blow every little issue out of proportion. We also didn't get bent out of shape every time we heard something that offended us, we also didn't expect everyone else to change their beliefs and behavior to suit us. On top of that, we never went out of our way to destroy a person's life simply because they held a belief, or said something, we didn't agree with.
IMHO, I think Dave Ramsey was able to sum up Millenials by saying that your generation can be divided into the self-entitled losers or “rock stars”. No in betweens. My generation - children of a self-absorbed generation. Maybe some of us became self-entitled and had the self entitled Millenials. Others succeeded in not becoming their parents and raised the rock stars. Just a hypothesis.
@@crystalwalker6496 Very humble for you to present your p.o.v. as a mere hypothesis. But youre even more a firsthand witness of whats screwed Millennials than I am. Im a GenX parent with a 30 year old married daughter & an 18 year old son whos just starting college. My kids have been out of the nest a long time now, so by no longer being able to watch their behavior firsthand, or through their peers, I no longer know whats going on with the younger crowd. From what I HAVE seen for myself, though, youre right. Theyre either so self-absorbed that they literally WILL NOT stop staring at their phones (even when crossing a busy intersection) or else theve adopted a "diva" mentality
Ive seen GenX parents unwilling to enforce "fully unplugged" times during the schoolweek, also parents that havent put their foot down to make their video game addicted children do their chores & homework. So I saw alot of slacking on the part of parents too. At the same time I blame alot of parental lax on the times we live in. How our industrial lords & masters have depressed wages so badly & brought our standard of living down to where two (Millennial or GenX) working adults cant pay the costs of living & maintain an inhabitable lifestyle. Its tough to discipline your children & spend the time they really need with you when youre usually at work. And then when you ARE home, youre too exhausted to do your job as a parent!
The way I see it, THESE are the reasons so many Millennials & GenZ are screwed up
If millennial are responsible for this, who was responsible for millennials? :)
Check mate.
Everyone is responsible for themselves, deal with it. Millenials only have millennials to blame for millennials behaviour.
Trigger Hippy not necessarily, it is usually the way they are raised or the way that society shaped them.
The parents of millennials are responsible for raising self seeking, spoiled, and lazy children. It's also the fault of millennials since every man and woman is ultimately responsible for their lives and the actions they take or not.

@i. rob it's not the house, it's the land upon which the house sits. Ever heard of the 3 things in real estate that determine price? Location, location, location. If a house is in a town where the demand is high, even if it's a small dump, it'll increase in value. If, however, it's in a dumpy town where no one wants to live, even if it's a mansion, it'll fall in value. It's never the house, it's the land.

I’m 27 and I have no idea about “millennials” or generation z and stuff like that. But everything is far too expensive, and when I do spend money I don’t want it to be on mediocrity. I don’t plan to buy a house at all because the maintenance of a property is exhausting, not to mention the property tax and the mortgage that comes along with it. I already have two kids and I DEFINITELY DON’T want more. The price of child care is absolutely abysmal compared to the hard work put in for a paycheck. Places charge too much; three items ranging from a board game to an action figure ran about $50+. WHY, Toy’s r Us?! We are forced to be frugal and focus our money on the necessities and products that we actually want. Why spend $47 at a restaurant where I can buy ingredients and have what I like how I like it and have leftovers? Millennials aren’t the problem- it’s the economic state of America.
Indeed it seems capitalism is doing some growing up and our generation is having to experience the growing pains.
I'm 24 and I think we're both considered millennials. Either way, even though I make a good amount of money, I feel like food prices at main stream dine ins like Applebees and Buffalo wild wings aren't worth it. I like going to small company or family restaurants.
Sounds like you're living within your means instead of running up unnecessary debt so someone else can buy an ivory backscratcher. The only ones complaining got the itch.
Eddie Brock I absolutely do- I refuse to live a debt controlled life; I’d rather stay in an apartment and drive an $800 car that I own so that I can go and explore the world and interests rather than grind and worry 24/7. Why worry and stress about keeping the repo man away when I can eliminate the circumstances for one?
amen
Diamonds are extremely overpriced and worthless. You can buy a man made diamond for the third of the price. Cuts glass and all that. Technology is great. And the bigger the diamond is; the more you love her is B.S.! Whatever happened to marrying for love only??? Millennials have figured it out!
That and by buying lab diamonds you aren't supporting an industry that exploits workers and regularly uses child labor.
Sure diamonds are pretty, but they’re just not worth the price.
Todd, tradition is the diamond should cost 2 1/2 months worth of a person's salary minimum. And if someone gives you a dollar gift are you happy? Do you think they care about you? It's to prove your love and to show you make enough money to be able to support a wife. Plus it's tradition. Those fake diamonds I can spot a mile away. You don't care if you're wife will be embarrassed? It's easy to tell a fake diamond from a real one, same goes for gemstones.
Cre8tiv Place the problem there is that diamonds seem to have become necessary. Plus there are so many other ways to prove your love other than a compressed piece of coal
Cre8tiv Place greedy ass hat
Society was making similar complaints a hundred years ago. People just hate change. They always have. Thanks to the internet we all get to hear about it. That’s the only real difference.

Millennial still have a fresh memory of the 2008 housing crash, I’m pretty sure they aren’t too keen to buy a house they cannot afford
I was still in primary school when that occurred and I remember how stupid the economics seemed back then... Even at twelve years I understood that it's impossible to generate infinite profit from finite resources.
Dylan I am very sorry to disappoint but it kind of is, economics nowadays is not quite that simple and I feel most people fail to understand it and I wish schools would take the time to teach it. LIke the practical know how
Gabzo, that's the philosophy of venture capitalism, but this fails to account for wage equilibrium. Wage equilibrium -- where the minimum wage maintains pace with inflation -- debunks the concept of infinite profit generation. It just isn't possible. Sadly, the wage *isn't* keeping pace with inflation, hence why venture capitalism is profitable over the longest possible time span.
Gabzo Avro I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's just common sense at work. We have finite resources, and finite ideas, but the market is deemed unlimited in it's potential, which at it's core is illogical. There's a reason why the housing market before 2008 was unsustainable, and it was because the sheer deregulation of the industry. It's arrogant to think the market will just grow permanently. As a system, it's ok to proceed on this assumption, but as a species we have to be conscious that unlimited growth is simply impossible.
i honestly dont remember shit, i was in highschool it was like any other time for me
Every generation thinks that the newest generation is causing the world to end. I am a Generation X, and I heard about how lazy we were, yada, yada, yada. They complained about the youth in ancient Greece so don't take it personally. I am rooting for you guys to change the world in Wonderful ways! ❤
the sad thing is I am starting to hear melenials do the same which gets me freaking upset. Can we just stop this cycle and start respecting our differences and moving on. Holy shit
As a GenXer, I am aware that each generation has its own lifestyle, values, and circumstances that change with the times. Millennials are what they are because of the times they were born into. I hate the blame game hurled at each generation. Each era is different because change is constant. Who destroyed the typewriter industry, the horse carriage industry, and other ancient industries?
I'm from Peru, I have a job, a legal job, work 10 hours a day (8am to 7pm, 1 hour for lunch). I earn 1500 soles (450 dollars) a month. Studied management on one of the best universities for 5 years. The average department rent (in one of the middle districts, not poor not rich) is 1600 to 1800 soles. So I can't even move out from my parents house. I'm 24. And all my friends have it just the same. It's a general problem here. People always say our generation (millennials) is lazy, but the truth is that we work more than ever before for half the money. Having a good decent happy life is harder than ever.
Costs rise when there are more buyers than sellers. Also called supply and demand...So if you $$ is low there are more people doing your job than there are jobs available . Rents are high because there are few places to rent and a lot of people looking to rent ..
That's what you call being uneducated
@JT Those jobs are not available.
They have wages and capitalism in latin america?
It's not just millennials feeling it, we're all feeling it and it sucks.
Bad businesses blames there consumer.
True. Just look at how Disney/Lucas Films is handling the Star Wars flops. They killed the franchise and it's the fans fault for not liking their crap.
Instead of their terrible investments.
Ricky Fresh Toys R Us failed to adapt to online sales, and tteated their employees like shit lol. The toys catalog only worked so long..
I was under the assumption that they said people were not investing
Eric Bauer
Hey! I was gonna say that...
Millennials aren't killing anything. Companies refuse to change and advance, suffer in their profits, and blame consumers for their poor business practices. Cars didn't kill the horse industry, horseback riding had to adapt with the consumers.
Right.
crow "Millennials aren't killing anything." LOL
crow Spot on mate.
How can you adapt Horse industry?
How can you make horse faster?
How can you make Horses cheaper than cars?
Horse industry still exists tho, people ride horses as a sport.
23 106 23 106 to answer your questions in order:
1. They adapted just fine by adding carriages, competitions, etc, to make buying a horse more appealing. It was no longer the only way to get around, so the industry had to stand out.
2. Selective breeding and genetic engineering. Something I'm sure was talked about in your 9th grade biology class.
3. You can't, in this system. Horseback riding has become a luxury. It's demographic has shifted, and if companies can charge more, they will. If you wanted to lower the cost of owning a horse you'd need to lower breeding costs, building costs for stables, feed, veterinary care, etc.
4. If you would read my comment more carefully, you'd see I never said anything about people not riding horses. I said the market adapted with consumers. It's place in this current market is as a luxury sport and a hobby.
And if a company is failing, maybe they simply refuse to change. Nintendo used to sell playing cards in the 1800s, but they're still around because they take risks and aren't against changing.
Boomers: "millennials are socialists"
Also Boomers: "how dare the millennials practice capitalism by supporting different businesses"
@Ann Linley except nobody wants to become a socialist country, not even millenials. We just beleive we all deserve affordable healthcare, affordable education and wages that actually keep up with inflation because we have strong unions to bargain for us. The Scandinavian countries who use these social programs and provide free public college and healthcare through taxes. There economies are booming. Guess what ? They are still capitalist countries. They just use forms of democracy and socialism that actually work. There minimum wages are high. There economy is still booming.

idk how you see it as a failure if you look after your own people better?
as for " when did the poor eve give you a job?"
um maby if your 1% didnt hold all the money and power they woulnt be quite so powerless and poor???
............
im pretty sure your the financially illiterate one here Ann Linley more money in circulation means more things done with it.
when the rich keep it in off shore bank accounts doing nothing its a disgusting waste that stagnates the ecodamy.
when you impose taxes that money goes to pay for the countries infustructure, roads, schools, healthcare, police and firepersons... it pays for those jobs, and the education creates more jobs too.
the money moves and circulates as it should.
when the rich sit on it.. its worthless. just numbers.. stagnation.
and they make produts poorer.. and they chargr more for less and they underpay their workers just to add more to their number.
your kissing the hand that slaps you when you support corperations.
Boomer: *Gets rich*
Boomer: *Obliterates economy*
Boomer: "Why aren't millennials buying anything?!?!?"
How'd they obliterate the economy?
@@vsaucepuppet697 Reinforcing completely unaffordable govt programs like Medicare/Medicaid (70% of the US budget) and subsidizing tuition which drove college expenses through the roof, the housing crash, and continually raising taxes that force younger people into debt. #NotAllBoomers but you get the point. You essentially have to go into debt to be in the upper middle class now.
@@Kadulikan ok
@Luke Drinking from Alien Titty Subsidized tuition is absolutely still a thing. There are a ton of subsidized student loans dished out every year along with subsidized scholarships, like the FAFSA, which an overwhelming number of college students apply for. And the whole retirement vacuum thing isn't an effective solution, because different generations tend to see massive market migrations. That was one of the major points of this video: Different generations have different economic demands, necessitating new markets.
In the boomer generation, job markets were much friendlier towards people who hadn't gone to college, and you could usually get by fine on a high school education. Millenials on the other hand are expected to attend college, or vocational school at the absolute minimum, to even have a chance at staying in the middle class. There is no demand for granddad's job on the factory line anymore, just for the 10 engineers that replaced those 100 factory line workers. And the engineers had better have a bachelor's degree and 5 years of experience to have any hope of landing that job.
But if you can find me a job where I carry heavy feed bags out of a truck that pays enough to support me through college like my grandfather did, please point me to it. (Seriously please point me to it, I'm already behind on rent.)
Man milk is 7 dollars whats not obliterated.
I'm no millennial, but if ya'll had anything to do with olive garden and applebees dying off, good on ya!
Polydynamix, ummm...... I think we can agree on that. If I'm not mistaken there may have been a touch of sarcasm in the video. I appreciate your taking the time to remind us of the gravity of the situation though, and of course, how old millennial are. Duly noted sir.

It's almost like the material conditions people live in cause people to adapt to those conditions to survive. That's still a radical notion for a lot of people.
It's only a radical notion for the spoiled brat boomers that took a shit in the pool.
The Eyesight Dim, it's funny that you say that being the generation of this video are some of the biggest spenders on overpriced garbage.
Private Colceri apple products lol
I thought not buying a house or car you can't afford was being responsible. I thought cooking at home was simply being responsible and a necessary skill to learn. I thought to avoid purchasing luxury items was simply being smart. I even thought not having kids you can't afford was being responsible. What the hell was I thinking?
How about if no one is buying your product make a better offer.
And the failure of Toys R Us has nothing to do with millennials. That has to do with poor management and being saddled with the debt of the company that bought you out.
Eddie Brock I will forever cursed the scourge that is Bain Capital
It was already dying before now. When I was a little girl and my brothers were little boys back in the the 90s and 2000 Toys R Us was so expensive that we could never go in and buy anything hardly ever. My mom refused to go in there and buy anything. She thought the prices were freaking ridiculous you could buy the same 64 game at Walmart for half the price. Toys R Us is jacked up because their name was Toys R Us. It's no one's fault except for Toys R Us.
Amen
Maybe you just dont have the money to buy those things because you dont have a job
Also this guy said that: with lower taxes, social programs are with empty pockets.

I love when companies go out of business and people are “blamed for it”
This is how capitalism works... trends come and go.
I went to Marie Calender's. The rim of the plate was hot, but the food was cool, which suggested they took it through a microwave or hotplate or something related. I ended up after tip spending 14 dollars on that.
Contrast that to my local ramen shop, where they make the noodles every day, they talk to you while prepping your meal, and are overall nice and give freebies. They also charge 2 dollars less for that meal. I don't mind going out to eat. I just have less tolerance for cutting corners and charging the same as a company who does not cut corners. If that means companies die so be it.
Kuuls beautifully put
It's called adapt with your consumers. Businesses are just lazy.
It's probably more generational problem. The previous generations are now old and resistant to change. The problem rise when the previous generations fail to communicate with younger generation. Previous generations think that younger generation are lazy, privileged, and stupid, while younger generations think that previous generations are boring, old, rigid, and unable to understand them. It's a classic parents-children relationship.
So, the businesses need to grow up and adapt, stop whining that things have changed for the worst.
or not taken an insane amount of debt or not run amazon in to the ground when they won their lawsuit
That's a good one.
Why was that guy pounding in the for sale sign when it has sold stickers on it?
I was thinking the same thing when I put it in. Surprisingly I think you’re the only person to comment on it so far.
Because he's a millennial. ;]
It makes perfect sense. Other buyers that were thinking about the property will see its now been sold? I thought this was obvious
But usually there was already a "for sale" sign, and then you put a "sold" sticker on it or change the sign on the post.
Maybe he just wanted to show off that he was able afford a new home as a millennial.

Very boomer mentality
Didn’t millennials do that with recent movies and TV shows that failed?
As far as housing goes, when I was in high school ( 1998-2001 ) the economy was in full swing, and going to college, getting a job, and buying a house was an expectation. By time I had finished college in 2005, the country was anxious and war was all we talked about. The whole country actually changed in my first quarter ( yeah, we had quarters instead of semesters at my university ) when the towers were hit.
By the time I was ready to enter the workforce... there wasn't much workforce to enter. Now buying a house doesn't seem like the normal thing to do, but rather a dream that I might never achieve.
We aren't failing the system... the system failed us.
eXite Video Magazine I graduated in 2010, when I was 16 I would often look for a job but I could never find anything. I always felt that people saw me as lazy or unproductive
Arvak777 getting my first job was pure luck. That’s always the hardest. Getting a job is like getting credit. They keep saying you have to have one to one.
But I guess that was a life lesson, seeing as how after college, every job seemed to want a 20 year old applicant with a Master’s and 10 years of training in the field. Lol.
I'm a Real Estate Investor that owns 15 rental properties. The best thing about Millennials is they pay the rent on time and never have to chase the rent!

Next year I plan to build starter homes that are 1,433 Square Feet. My plan is to build one every 3 months. There are plenty of people out there that want starter homes!

Ironic
I'm a Gen Zer, and I personally don't see why millennials are always blamed. If anything economics plays a huge part. Both Gen Y and Z lived through the great recession, so no wonder why we spend our money differently.
if you want to find someone to ready blame, its Reagan and the baby boomers for fucking up the economy, allowing stock buybacks, major deregulation, and stupid trade deals, leading to a bust and boom cycle that caused many of those crashes. The baby boomers were the entitles ones who lived during one of the best economies in history with amazing wages during their times turn around to blame later generations while they voted for short term gains and to fuck up later generation. Look at Climate change, there was proof that our carbon outputs were having an effect on the environment ever since the 90s, but the people in power (baby boomers) disregarded the evidence and continued to help the fossil fuel companies. Tax cuts, tax cuts they said, they want tax cuts, slash that 90% tax on the rich down to 37% percent they said. Allowed stock buybacks, why not, the rich needs to get richer. What came from that? Social programs are gutted, a ever increasing military budget that rivals the next ten countries put together, wages became stagnant, because why invest in the workers when you can buy back your stocks right? The companies in the US are making record profits, but our infrastructures which were once the pride of the US are now ranked a D at best compared to other countries. Infrastructure are crumbling, while we are still throwing trillions at the stupid and pointless war in the mid-east.
This is the way it always goes. Always need someone to blame. This is why Billy Joel said "We didn't start the fire". I didn't understand it as a kid when I sang along to it, but now in my 30s I realize this is how the world works.
I think you need to sit and reflect on what the world was really like for the Boomers post WWII. It was vastly different than today, people had to do menial tasks for small pay, most ran 2 or 3 jobs in order to survive. Heck, these so-called millenials dont want to work even 1 job.
Baby boomers are entitled and arrogant
Because they're crucial and important generations on this time. They lead this greedy and mad world , raise their misbehavin kid who play fortnite at home , They faced with global economy crisis , struggled for money to cost , bill , rent (everything is so expensive compare with back then ; inplation) you'll eventually even more understand hardly why millenials are depressed now and what millenials struggled for. That's called the 'Adult burden' and also called a 'duty'. Be strong anyway!
I love millenial's attitude. They are giving this system the middle finger and rewriting the rules. You guys rock!

Got too many baby boomers that refuse to change. And often those are the same ones running those businesses so they'll never adapt. I get that it's scary when the world around you is changing. I'm Generation X so the world is a lot different from when I was growing up too, but I recognize the fact that I need to learn all these new technologies and new ways of doing things. You don't change you get left behind.

Pro tip; if you want me as a repeat customer don't sit me and my date next to the screaming toddler table and serve a half microwaved TV dinner for $20 a plate. Also younger people are broke and all have at least one family member with violent alcoholism so that's why your $10 drinks aren't selling like they used to.

Hell yeah they're rich! Since Mommy and Daddy are doctors and businessmen, they've always got money to spend. These kids are always at expensive new restaurants, constantly buying expensive games, taking expensive traveling trips, yadda yadda, while everyone else is busting butt with their families trying to survive. Many of us are homeless, living in shelters, small apartment, single parent household, living in a bad neighborhood/projects, etc. we used to have small businesses that cater to us like Dollar stores, thrift stores and cheap restaurants but everything is being replaced by expensive stores and restaurants for these rich kids. Anywhere I can get a cheap handbag for $3 or $4 at thrift shops are disappearing. Now there's these new stores with bags prices skyrocketing through the roof. They're at least $40 to $50 per bag. Outrageous. Instead of replacing old businesses, they could simply cooperate with the old business or cater to ALL their costomers rich and poor.
BooBooBunny Who are you blaming here exactly? Cause it seems like you are the very person this video is criticizing.
Eric Nick
The new business owners and their customers since they're all rich college students. No, I'm not the "very person this video is criticizing" I'm a millenial like you. I'm 19 year old and poor.

They already are.
The starter homes is so incredibly true...
Since land is more expensive, contractors tend to build bigger homes on the same land surface so they can compensate the more expensive land for the lost profit.
The starter homes could be apartments, but people won't let apartments to be built outside of cities. And in cities land costs are astronomical so they end up again having to make expensive apartments.
You basically have to choose between expensive apartments and expensive houses.
How do we Force Affordable housing to exist?
Mitchell Alexander That mindset is wrong, you can't force it...
You can encourage it, but it will not happen.
What you can do, is going the opposite way. Less government, less regulations.
That means small businesses can appear outside of cities, and people can start living and finding jobs outside of big cities.
otherwise nothing will ever change. You can build infrastructure but that will take time and money to handle massive commuting.
I was born in the 70s and I've never bought paper napkins in my entire life. I've also never eaten in shit places like Applebees - if crap food outlets are being killed off then good.

Dear Millennials
So far so good, but don't become crotchety old hypocrites when Gen Z tries to be adults. All generations have said the older ones are hypocritical, but then they get old and hate things hypocritically. Please make a new concept of old generations helping and appreciating younger ones, instead of scolding children about how the 90's were the peak of human civilization.
Regards, Gen Z
Jack Hood Dear Gen Z well, the 90s were the shit. Never forget, But since we have the technology lets visit it together. Hell lets visit all that we can so we can learn from mistakes and broaden our minds. Even get to understand our mothers and grandmothers better. Lets be kinder. Lets be nicer. Lets work together. Lets forgive each other. Lets teach each other. Cause right now you may need us but one day we will need you to be in charge and guide us. Let do that, hand in hand. Love, Millennials.
Wrong the 60s and the 70s was the peak of human civilization
Jack Hood idiot. This new generation will be our downfall. They will be too stupid to solve the world's problems and will be end of humanity. Also, the 90's were the peak of human civilization.
Frank Bowman SJW's are planning to take away men's rights. They hate men which is why manspreading is illegal in one city.
The comments proved Jack Hood's point. And @ Jack - Hypocrisy doesn't have an age limit. Some Millennials, Gen Z, Boomers, etc are hypocrites, some aren't. And you get people who agree more with the general views of a different generation instead of there own. Generation categories are kind of silly for that reason: age is only one factor of many that make up a person's views/perspectives and lifestyle.
It's hard for me to cry a river for the paper napkin industry or mediocre restaurant chains. I'm not a millennial, but I rarely buy paper napkins or towels.

I never understood how being born in a particular time period made you a bad person
It doesn't, the impulsive and reckless predecessors are the ones who decide to make scapegoats out of an entire group and throw all their problems unto said group. Certainly isn't right, but that's how imbeciles act. Bad apples in every generation, but the overgeneralized hypocrisy still isn't justified.
Welcome to the future, where no one accepts responsibility for anything and blames whoever is easiest to criticize.
Why are you so angry? Do you think anything has changed since the 1960's? Throughout time people have always looked for someone else to blame, you are not a scapegoat, it's just life, and it sucks.
Every generation will blame the next and that next generation will always be resentful of the one preceding it. It is human nature.
I don't know if anyone truly believes that being born in a particular time period makes a person bad. But by blaming the world's problems on another time period you feel better about your generation by comparison. Acknowledge the problem but blame somebody else so you don't have to take responsibility.

Though I still blame the generation of the early 19th century for the death of the horse & buggy...😁
Thank you, Kate!
Thank you!
Very cool, Kate
😂😂 It's your generation turn soon.
Horse and Buggy was effective at transportation, with very little resources to manage it. Plus you have horses who are now out of jobs. #Bringbackhorses
We've just been dealt with a bad hand. I was at Denny's with my girlfriend at the time and a lonely 90 year old man was apologizing on the behalf of his generation for ruining everything. He made so much sense. We sat there and listened and admired this man.
i don't think we was part of the boomers.
The reason is because the way Boomers are, it started with their parents the Greatest Generation.
He’s not part of the Boomers. He is part of the Greatest Generation, a generation which has nothing to apologize for.
@@ntmn8444 the trauma of the great depression and ww2 was dealt with by copious amounts of booze and cigs. Their children were the boomers. Those children became the me-first takers that gutted the american dream. Generations create problems with the next. It is always this way.

i agree and am 48 yrs old. i am tired of the same sucky cheep products. my dream is a tiny home and have it use solar and wind power. with smaller dish washer, washer, and yard.
Ej, I checked into solar, here the electric company still charges you a monthly fee even if you get solar! And they don't pay you the same per kilowatt hour price for your extra energy that you pay them for the same thing! You just can't win nowadays. Years ago electric companies were required to pay people for their extra. Not anymore, here anyways.

not anymore then.any other generation... that said they face some bad handicap s.... first the jobs and pay are not going to be anything like as good as expected and the lower class jobs are gone for good, secondly the poorer ones will die sonner drom poor diet and life style while the average upbringing has left most without the skills or personality to cope with the adversity they will have to face. honestly.... not one in ten will get thru life with the satisfaction they hope for, where as id say about a third ti half of boomers did. thats not a personal judgement on them, just that wgen expectation and result dont meet there is unhappiness.

"Millenials" became a scapegoat term, used to sell headlines. It's a little frustrating that people buy into the idea of it and let the media control their perception of things.
Regardless, nice video! Everything was well said. :)
Absolutely. It’s an easy excuse for every problem. And thanks!
I get so annoyed hearing it come from my fathers mouth...like.."you birthed me asshole" and Im 32 with no children...and little hope because the world THEY put us in is so backwards...lol
It's the most grating term at the moment - the idea of generations and inter-generation feuds is beyond stupid, especially consider the fact that most people that moan about a certain generation wouldn't be able to tell you the actual definition of what the generation name covers...
When you go to your local bar for a local brewed beer proceed to give 10 dollars and all you get back is $3.50. Who doesn't say wtf this beer was made less than 7 miles away at a local brewery and at 10 gallons a keg that would be a 1000 bucks they tapped out. No wonder people would prefer to stay home and brew their own beer then drink it.
They call people Nazis to get viewers, sell headlines and cause division. Which is why I avoid MSM, they're all full of crap.
I wouldn't call Chipotle high quality
Chipotle is a fast food chain disguised as a restraunt chain. It's like Subway in a way.
It is to McDonald regulars
I use to eat it all the time in college, but then it hit me that the food actually has barely any flavor. I have no idea who considers little flavor as "high quality." I would say edible.
Higher* quality food for cheaper prices no one called it high quality but you
“It’s the duty of the business to cater to their consumer...it’s not the job of the consumer to keep anyone in business unless we want what they’re selling” THANK YOU!

Why would I spend money on cable and a buttload of ads when I can just pay for Hulu and Netflix without all the ads
Dillon Mo' coke I remember seeing a post about that. Paying 60+ dollars a month when roughly $16 of that is ads? You got life fucked up if you think I'll pay for that. I'll stick to Hulu and Netflix.
Alecto Anarchy yeah nowadays you can just watch Netflix, Hulu & RUclips you'll still be as entertained if you were to have cable probably even moreso
Dillon Mo' coke ikr
It comes down to disposable income. We get paid less than previous generations so we spend less and look for more ways to save. Some of these dying businesses I would've considered using but they're luxury items that I don't need. And I need to save money. If I can plan ahead why would I have children before I could afford to pay for them? Productivity has gone up but pay hasn't. The wealthy are making more than ever. The profit split has simply changed. People can't spend what they don't have. If this continues the economy will stagnate. This is why they're hellbent on cutting regulations because it's the only way they can make more money since people are spending at their limits. It'll reach a tipping point and the regulations will be forced to return. They'll do their best to skew or delay but in the meanwhile they'll have made several fortunes so they'll still have that wealth to buy themselves out of illegal or uncomfortable situations. We've simply made them more powerful and influential than before.
"The younger generation sucks." *-Every older generation since the beginning of time.*
True. Although I currently really like Generation Z. I feel like many Millennials realize the generation before us screwed us over and we want to protect the generation younger than us. Of course values change as a generation gets older, but we'll see.
No common sense or empathy? They’re leading the movement against gun violence with more common sense and empathy than we’ve seen in a long time.

We are just aware of the abusive business tactics that have been going on for generations. Instead of just angrily ranting like our boomer parents and not doing anything about it; we adopt more efficient methods. Money wise, we can't survive without being efficient these days.
Economies fail when people can't afford things. It's easy to say "people aren't buying these because no one wants them." Do people really think anyone would rather piss away money on rent when they could actually own their own place, a piece of real estate they can get a return investment on (and preferably without a dystopian HoA attached?)
The rate things are going, the next two generations won't even be able to afford rent without skimping out on or giving up other necessities. Economies like this do not last. Moron economists will say it will, and that higher wages won't help the economy, but the truth is - no one's going to be buying Xbox's, Ipads, and go on vacations when they can't afford to, and those kinds of industries will collapse as a result. It doesn't pay to not pay. Unfortunately, the 1% no longer seems to remember that fact and just keeps squeezing harder.
Right up until they find it's their heads that will be popping off.
Littleman I imagine an America where the average person doesn't even own a stove because "too expensive" lives in a tiny apartment with 100 other people and can only afford to run a mini fridge. I hope it doesn't get that bad.
Littleman this is retarded, rent makes sense in a lot of contexts, but as it is, housing prices are far higher than ever before compared to what people are making.
It's kinda true. I can't see myself leaving my parents house soon because it's just unrealistic to live on my own in the next decade. What's the point of killing myself working to have all the money spent on rent and food. It would be living just to survive, I would not be doing anything with my life... at least living with my parents I'm saving money for the future...
Contrary to what ur saying I personally believe smaller cities or cities with large emigration currently will either grow or rebound big time. There will be a day when Chicago’s prices drop hard because of the large emigration and it will become a cheaper destination. The market changes over time. Eventually people will start leaving the currently in demand states which will lower prices and the new cities or rebounding ones will be attractive and if becomes a cycle. The point is the populations of states in the mountain west will increase soon and the south and Midwest will be more attractive with prices either cheaper or falling, which leads to a yo-yo cycle.
that doesnt describe everyone however...i got my house in 2007 for 200k and the resale value is over 300 with less than 100k put into it
Old people be like " millennials are lazy and ruining everything" while we pay for their social security
CAYNE247: I'm Generation X, and they said we were lazy too.

Your enemy is bastard's in shiny suits that manipulate currency inflation and corporate greed. A small percentage of old white collar criminals.
CAYNE247 which they have paid into their whole working lives so they aren’t entitled to it?
CAYNE247 to be fair they paid for their own social security. That's kinda how that works.
Bradley Bowen partially true. There are much more baby boomers than millennials. (Hence the term baby boomers because they bloomed like flowers in spring.) Their money went to previous generations, and their generation. The baby boomers money is running thin. So they get more from gen x,y, and millennials. That's how it works. So millennials will be getting money from their offspeings generation. The cycle never ends
Corporations are also killing themselves by only caring about their profits and stock holders and not paying their workers at the rate of inflation so people don't have disposable incomes like they used to.
Reality check....A job is only worth so much $$..It doesnt matter what your expenses are individually. When cost are excessive your jobs move where it is affordable..Out of the country. May not be right but its a fact.. Just as you buy cheaper products made in China and put your neighbors out of work when their companies close..If we only bought American we would pay more but be better off in the long run..
This video could be alternately titled: "older people interpret the world evolving and changing as detrimental because they are irrational and cling desperately to the reality they were raised in out of principle and for personal comfort"
*@Roadkill* More like now that we've attained the age our grandparents were 40 years ago, we are now able to see the same subtle (sometimes not so subtle) spiralling descent of standards all around us
At this point in your life any complaining GenX (or Boomer) just sounds like another tired old grump to you. But as we're hitting 50 & 55, those of us who didn't turn out to be couch potatoes & actually maintained some muscle tone can still hold our own against a belligerent 'teen or twenty-something: strength *and* experience
And when you eventually gain the perspective that only *decades* of life can provide, then you'll realize our complaints about the worstening conditions in society aren't simply based on some melodramatic attachment to the bygone past. The 70s & 80s are just as unchangeable as Roman Times. And although its nice to remenesce about them every once in a while, many of us still look forward to the future. Not every GenX is bent out of shape or depressed about the 21st Century- - that's nothing more than a hollow stereotype 🙃😊
It's kind of hard to get jobs, too. I was jobless for 2 years despite applying literally everywhere I could work, and one day my mom called me chewing me out and accusing me of leeching off of my parents ON PURPOSE. She literally said,
"I don't understand why you just can't work as a waiter or something. I was a waiter when I was your age."
Because MOM literally 40 or more people are applying for every single job! I know this because I know people that do hiring and they all told me every time a position open they get dozens and dozens of people applying! I can't just "get a job". If it were that easy, nobody would be fucking jobless. Luckily I work at Menards now.
Part of the reason why we can't get jobs is because the internet (inadvertently) killed the process:
When I was younger (I'm 40 now, so I belong to this generation), I would fill an application, then go to the interview. That was an opportunity to showcase my intellect and professional skills. However, with the internet, if your resume doesn't check boxes, then they don't have to explain why you didn't get the job (or interview for that matter). The previous generations could work for 20 to 30 years with little fear of layoffs and retire. Not or generation.
Pro tip: watch the video before leaving a comment based on the title alone.
Toys "R" Us went bankrupt as I was editing this video and sure enough, articles are blaming Millennials for not having more kids. Not, you know, the fact they failed to compete with Amazon and had $5 billion in debt.
We've received over 200 subscribers since the last video, which means next time I post we'll hopefully have 1,000 subscribers. Thank you!! I don't currently make any money from this channel, so I appreciate all the support in the form of likes, comments, subscribing, and sharing my videos.
I love your videos keep making them
It’s cause your videos are just awesome, man!
FutureNow Nah, Toys R Us failed because of a certain RUclips channel of a little Asian kid playing with toys. Kids would rather watch a kid play with toys than play the toys themselves.
+TheUKNutter So you’re saying a new trend emerged in the toy market they failed to recognize and adapt to. Again, it’s not the kids’ fault for wanting different things. Regardless, the toy market has actually grown even as Toys ‘R’ Us lost the share of that market they controlled and Amazon’s share of the market grew.
FutureNow Yeah I think RUclips has caused it. I have 2 siblings, 4 and 8, and they haven’t bought toys for 2 years ever since they found out about RUclips Kids. The company should have cashed out

TRUTH! Oh and thank you Milennials for not buying diamonds.
Not only is it an unethical industry, but we’re also way too broke to buy diamonds if we wanted them.
Plus diamonds are technically worthless. They don't even actually have any value to them, like gold does, yet they are exorbitantly high in price.

@@valerieferro4886 actually I told the guy that a corporation is made of people.....if you have bad people you will have a bad corporation...
Corporations themselves are not evil....it's the people that run them.
The reason the toy industry is going to the dumps lately is because people already moved to a newer market which is the video game industry and movie industry and still growing.
Video game industry take over toy industry
Online streaming service takes over video rental stores

Smithers 501 im a boomer, 1960, currently 58, consider that we pretty much set up the scenerio for the way things have turned out now for millenials. Through our cultural movements and political statements that have dominated industries. Granted i was only 9 when woodstock happened but i remember it was the talk all over, we were the ones that broke the order, we were the ones that broke the routine and norms of a consetvative society, we shaped the now into what it has become.
Smithers 501 why do you think we were outraged by Kennedys assassination? He could have been the beginning of a domino effect in a change of the system as a whole, by the simple act of shifting government spending from war and the military toward scientific and medical research. Up to this day the military industrial complex is trying to recapture its hey day when most everyone was on board during WW2, because it was an economic boom, and nobody questioned a thing til we came along.
Lapis Lazuli who do you think are selling through amazon and eBay?
I miss the old diners. Now everything is a chain. Strangers would talk in diners. You met the people cooking your food.
We can't buy houses to expensive, we can't buy cars to expensive, we can't have an education to expensive. What will be the next thing they want to forbid millennial's from having. But of course it's our own fault. It was just as hard for them.
That’s the thing, it wasn’t just as hard for them. Everything was much easier for them because their wages were actually fairly suitable for making these sorts of expenses.
FutureNow try telling them that. Also most of our parents have paid off mortgages good pensions out for a meal everyday. Yet won't help there kids trying to feed themselves for a week with £10 left after paying 70% of income on rent Just preach how hard it was for them with no carpit etc.
FutureNow there parents could'nt help them back then but they could at least help with some clothes / shoe's for the kids etc. We don't care we will get buy the best we can. I'm sure i will help my kids a lot more when i have the opportunity.
They could use the right form of to and too.
Ron some people were privileged enough to even be taught too read and right, so use this privilege to make others feel even less privileged. I bet that's not the right to or too back there i know it is painful and impossible to (too) read now.
I think that even if the video title is ironic, using it perpetuates this ridiculous stereotype of millenials. This in and of itself is problematic. Instead of going for a triggering title for views why not put a title that is a truer reflection of millenials. If you say people who are anti-millenials will click on this, watch it and change their opinions that's unlikely as they'll glance at the title and feel their opinions are reinforced. There's no incentive for those who are anti-millenials to watch this and that's a shame.
Judging by many comments I’ve received plenty of folks have watched this expecting it to be anti-Millennial and being pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised. I definitely get the criticism of the title, though.
Fun story. I used to work in a franchise packing and shipping store. One day my boss decided to retire and he sold his store to a baby boomer who immediately doubled our prices, got pissy at people when they saw the prices and walked out, got visibly angry when he felt people werent spending enough, and was all around lazy and unprofessional. Eventually people stopped coming to our store altogether at which point this baby boomer decided to blame his employees (mostly millennials) for and i quote “being too nice to people who arent spending enough money”... didnt take long for all of his employees to quit leaving him without a single person who knew what they were doing. All the stores this baby boomer took over are now empty buildings... and that is the story of baby boomers and millennials. The baby boomers have been greedy narrow and short sighted fuckwits running everything they touch straight into the ground by being excessively greedy and self centered. Than they have the nerve to point the finger at us.
Your ex boss sounds like a greedy little prick, but you are still generalizing.....
I stopped going to Olive garden when I realized I could make better pasta at home for about 1/8 the cost. It's truly astounding. You can make a very nice fettuccine alfredo at home for a couple of bucks, or you can go to the Olive garden and one plate will cost you almost $20, or higher. I don't understand it. I was born in 1991. I live in VA. Just letting you know. I apologize if that is an overshare, but for sake of argument, I'm sure a plate of pasta in California is much higher. I just wanted to give a clear perspective from my seat. Most of my friends are 40 years old, or older. This has been true since college, because my own generation drives me insane, and I cannot identify with people younger than me at all.
Just ran across this well made video. I don't believe millennials are killing anything. The video does a great job at acknowledging that markets are changing. However what's always left out is the effects of growing technology has on our view of the world.
Today, there are more reasons NOT to go to places. We don't have to go to multiple stores and shops to compare prices and products when we have the internet at the ready. Why wait in long lines when we can get the best price shipped to our doorstep in 2 days or less? We don't have to rent videos when we can stream it wherever we are?
Competition isn't that new mall or department store in the area, it's everywhere. The world that the millennials grew up in and the way it continues to evolve, it's up to past generations to understand the change and evolve with it.
The story isn't the new generation ruining everything, it's a story of the older generation resisting change and that's the story as old as time.
Indeed, well put. I could have gone more into the effects of technology. I am actually working on a video on how evolving tech is transforming the jobs market.
FutureNow Subscribed and looking forward to it!
Just as consumers flocked to WalMart and shut down Main St., people are flocking to Amazon and shuttering the malls. That's all fine and dandy, it's the consumers choice, but those are jobs, and not all crappy entry level jobs that are lost for ever. Every store had an owner that paid employees, rent, taxes, and provided entry through top level jobs. Oh well, we can't complain about not being able to find work if we don't actively support business that reside in our communities because it's a hassle to go places. Peace!
jamie t I get where you are coming from with the jobs. But isn't it the responsibility of the "adults" to build a solid infrastructure for the future to build upon? What happened to this infrastructure that civilizations rely on? Maybe the previous generation didn't think hard enough and thought they could squander resources willy nilly instead of investing it into the future.
jeff andi this is comment makes more sense than the video.
The term killing the real estate industry is a little outlandish. People are still renting and need a place to live. As the population of the United States grows, more houses and living space will be needed. We are buying fewer houses yes, but apartments and other rent-based housing vehicles are growing.
True, a more accurate but still silly headline would be "killing the housing market."
no wrong. Immigration from India and CHINA is ridiculously high they number in the 1.2 and 1.3 billion and they are legally entering the US , hyperinflating our housing market. Even if we do create more housing, the populations double with children and immigrants children. If you've seen what's happened to EUROPE and their refugee crisis, that is foreshadowing for the US. As well as CALIFORNIA,Seattle and Portland; California is showing why OBAMA's cheap credit and education for all , is the spoke on the wheel that will cause the next ECONOMIC crash in the next 5 years. No Rural Town will be left. Genetrication (of all races) will destroy rural communities.
Rent Base housing as in like AirBnB, that is not even a long term option.
VEHICLE housing is not growing there are restrictions against it. COMPANIES, NIMBY are restricting people from parking their vechilces to sleep.there are so much LEGAL procedures against that, that make that super hard to even be thought of.
Real Estate and Travel Industry are alive and as good as ever .
Hold On !!!..... Then you have the Student Education DEBT Bubble that is waiting to burst in the next 2 years.
Defeaults on those loans are increasing, that is a huge sign of economic stunting.
To top it all off... A.I is taking over ( Uber, Google,Warehouse, ) and jobs will be super competitve.
So the EDUCATION system has to get ramped up. ..to teach the next generation for new jobs.
They can build a Wall whatever but also please do ban H1B1 Visas,
Dreams about American retirement in Mexico are over... OBRADOR is now the president.
There will be a Mexican's first policy over there now.
Americans act quick now... CHINA is gaining up on you....and it looks bad once they take the lead.
Maybe the time has come for building smaller and more affordable housing. It seems like new homes only start at 2,500sqft and 400K, which serve to drive up the smaller older homes prices. My first house was about 800sqft, which was plenty for a single guy with no kids. It served well even after marriage until kids came along. 1200sqft is plenty for a family of 4, but they sure don't build them any more.
Actually the population is declining. People have no need, desire, or money to pop out six kids anymore. It used to be 12 kids, half would die, the boys went to war, the girls got pregnant and they all worked the farm. No farms, no drafts, longer life expectancy, social shifts on acceptable marital age, all means less need to breed. Some places the low population is becoming a problem.
Rusty Gears Yes, but globally the population as a whole is declining. 7 billion and getting smaller. Feel really bad for Europe and Japan they seem to be taking the hardest hits. Can't blame the Chinese because they don't have enough females to keep their numbers that high. At the rate things are going it will be one world government and i'm not sure the world is ready to try to get along.

Dude I know tons of people that live in Cali and they all use that... And no, you provide the country with your imported stuff because you have all the ports that trade with the east. Good for you. And btw I live in Ohio, so every time you see an American car there is a high likelihood that it was made within a couple hours of where I live.
I’m a millennial and I HATE craft beer. I love coors light. Panera bread is ok but too expensive I love McDonald’s. If you’re that stupid to believe fast casual is considered “fresh”. You really need to leave mom’s basement. Yea it’s fresh...off the food service truck. I don’t know why anyone actually believes that restaurants push for local and other bs about their products. It’s all off the food service truck people. You believe that the chef goes to the farmers market every morning and picks the freshest highest quality blah, blah biggest marketing ploy ever.
