- Millennials are being blamed for killing everything from Applebee's to napkins. But perhaps millennials are not at fault.

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
Millenials wil be 80 years old eventually and we can get upset that 28 year olds are killing tesla and uber because they keep teleporting everywhere.
I mean I’m down for teleportation.
Oh God teleportation that will be a wet dream for perverts.
Old me: "I'd rather walk then have anything get that personal with my adams!"
Grandkids:"Gran, ATOMS. Not Adams. Ugh millenials are so out of touch."
Old me:"oh! Applebees yes, yes I remember that place. Good mudslides."
@@hataril.8355 gen z as old people: SPOOPTOBER
New gen: WHATTF what kind of zig naging dorp is that
Gen z: you see when I was your age
New gen: UGGGGHHHHHHH I DON'T GIVE A GRIPABOBO ABOUT THAT SIGNAG !
Gen z: whats a signag and a gripabobo?
New gen: UGGGGHHHHHHH OLD PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING
Bold of you to assume elon musk wont produce teleportation devices (since it sounds like exactly what he would do if he could)
“Millennials are killing the DIAMOND industry!!!!!”

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.
Love the way "we're irresponsible with money" but also "not spending enough"
🤷🏽♂️
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.

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.
@@jamesloehr641 Don't argue with an idiot, it's pointless
I'm a boomer and I approve this post.
Also boomers: "I love my social security and Medicare & Medicaid." The US's biggest socialist programs.
.... 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.
I bought a house in 2002. The value of the house went up in value by 250%. My wages went up 35% so clearly something is seriously wrong.
That's when you sell the house wait for the crash then buy your house back for almost nothing
@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

underrated comment
Nyaaaaaaah
No you aren't, the Gen X who created Amazon is. You are still just a consumer. If some butthurt knob head decides to blame you because you choose to spend your hard- earned cash there instead, that's their issue, not yours and getting upset over it is really not worth it.
I blame the last generation growing up going shopping was kind of a chore i hated going to the mall or clothes shopping ect. Same as going out to eat it was never relaxing or that enjoyable. I now carry those memories and do most of my big purchases online and mostly cook at home
By blaming them, aren't you giving credibility to them blaming YOU for doing things in ways THEY don't like? Why does anyone need to be blamed for you doing things the way you want to?
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.
Pretty much
Arminius of Germania what... I’m so confused. This was the most unnecessary comment in the history of comments.
@@ericpeters4499 not everything is political and not everyone cares about politics.
Brie Stoll amen
Yeah but it's your job to keep the company afloat!!
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'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.
"How many times do we have to teach this to you old man?!"
A Justin Y comment on *my* video? I’m honored.
Justin Y. Definitely, I realized that this got recommended to us millennials
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.

This is beautiful
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.
Millennials
I love when companies go out of business and people are “blamed for it”
This is how capitalism works... trends come and go.
Amazon is killing everything.
@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
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

@@ladyvincenza that sounds good, I'll try it like that.
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
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
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 🙃😊
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.

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.

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.
“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.
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 👌
Grannies gonna hate.
Your granny is right
Fox News needs to change. Times are a changing...
Liberal boomers do this too you know.
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 😥
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...
When your business fails, blame the customers.
1. Blame the Millennials
2. ????
3. Profit
The Star Wars business model
And Marvel Comics. If you also call your customers Nazis and bigots, that also helps ensure future business success. /sarc
Very boomer mentality
Didn’t millennials do that with recent movies and TV shows that failed?
Thank you boomers for making sure we wont be buying a house anytime soon. We're stuck renting until we're 35
I'm 47 and still rent. Houses cost too much especially in Austin Texas.
I was in a meeting where a millennial said " I hope I can be a whistleblower that takes down a big corporation someday"..... true story.
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.
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.
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.
"my generation good, other generations bad" -every generation
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 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 not that we kill em. It’s that society is just changing. Businesses need to adapt to it!!!
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.

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

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!
Well when over half of Gen X were killed by abortion.

So, I have been living like a millennial since 1984?
😂…me, too, - more or less. 🤷🏻♀️
At the 2 minute mark, me:" YES! Finally someone realizes that it's the companies' own fault that they are failing not millennials!"
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.
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!
Millenial: This thing is too expensive.
Boomer: Well how about you learn some Supply and Demand? Don't buy stuff thats expensive!
Millenial: K. *Doesn't buy stuff*
Boomer: Monster. You disgusting monster. This is why we won't let you retire.

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 am 45 & not at all a millenial, but i appreciate these changes in our culture. Personally, i am moving towards minimalism. I love buying just what we need, and using what we already own.
I agree completely. It's not my responsibility to buy something I don't want. The napkin thing is so true. I never even thought about it. I couldn't tell you the last time I bought napkins.
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.
The free market is working the way it's supposed to work, by killing off companies that fail to adapt to changes in consumer preferences.
Applebees isn't that bad fuck face and were not killing anything off it's called evolving
nobody believes this

Aaron Landry well said. Ill spend my money at a mom&pop shop.
Matthew Arnold Only if they’re better, otherwise, I’m going to Walmart or Amazon.
Aaron Landry way over priced for shitty food.
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.
Because making various combinations of pasta, tomatoes, cheese, and meat is so difficult.

It's almost like starving an entire socioeconomic class of spending money is going to result in a weaker economy as entire superfluous industries stubbornly cling to their old ways. Imagine that.
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 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.

That was great! I have loved hearing about all the ways that we are "killing the economy" from news headlines or other generationals complaining about how the world is changing and adapting while choosing the easiest scapegoat. Your video is the first one I've seen that went into what was "killed" by the boomer generation. The fact is things that no longer serve the larger population in the way that the population wants it, is just going to phase out if they don't adapt to the desires of society, it has always been like that and the next generation will want different things than we do now. Thanks for this very well put together video. Cheers to you!

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
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.
picture this: an A-frame on an 1/8th of an acre of land.
What are you even talking about?
What some older businesses don't quite understand is that you can't expect everything to stay the same when everything is constantly changing around you. It's also one of the growing problems is that our infrastructure is old as shit and slowly decaying which leads to multiple problems while everything else just keeps changing.... You know it's like these businesses expect people to have flying cars now but if you don't put any investment into your actual workers (aka payraises) then then nothing will change and it will eventually collapse on itself.
Like the economy is just so fucked.... How do you expect a person to buy a house on a pathetic minimum wage job? Even if they get a bank loan they are going to be paying for morage for around 30+ years that's a long time and a lot of shit can happen during that time. Not to mention there is the need of a car, need of insurance, need of basic necessities like food and water..... How do you NOT expect this generation to live in an apartment or with their parents?
Awesome video, gave me a great idea for a report im doing on competitiveness.
Old people be like " millennials are lazy and ruining everything" while we pay for their social security

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
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.

"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.

I was about to flip out after reading the title but then thought, I need to watch the video first and not judge it only on a title. Lol
I'm currently 38 as of 2021. I always hated generation stereotypes even when my opinion would've been seen by the people younger than me as "relevant". But I can't help but notice that the younger people seem to have little to no concept of history, even within the arts-which so many of them tout with the advent of these online platforms that essentially make everyone a director/actor/editor/producer. When I was young, I went back into history and learned jazz greats, 60's music, blues movements etc etc. Now, it seems like if it didn't happen before 1995, it didn't happen at all. The major concern of this philosophy is that if history has taught us anything, it's that it's repeated. I don't feel like a lot, not-all-but a lot of gen Z and millennials also understand how truly dangerous the world is. We are spoiled like the Romans were spoiled 2,000 years ago and are willing to play fast-and-loose with government policy just to see what happens. It's a truly dangerous time. When the gazelle grazes, the lion watches. And last but most: GOD. Young people have had no semi-strict institution to teach a Biblical morality. I know, I know, not another Christian, right? But Christians were the influencers of compassion. Christians made the idea of chivalry positive. Christians brought about the Renaissance and the enlightenment. Christians lead the abolition movement. And Christians are responsible for almost all of the major educational institutes of the west. But they do not take much credit because that would be unchristian so you never hear about it. We've been here before, not necessarily as a nation-although America has been here too-but as a world. Whenever you decide to change morality at the drop of a hat without any study or understanding, that's when people tend to commit the largest and most disastrous follies(ie genocide, torture, rape, atrocities). If you do not believe me, look at countries that have brought socialism to the forefront. But people cling to these ideologies because they feel like the alternative is GOD and no one can stomach that. And not that I care what certain "intellectuals" think, and neither should you, but many even worry about a fast Christian rug pull as dangerous. Too quick, too fast. They worry that it result in a morality cobbled together by random movements and emotion so disjointed that the result could be nothing short of chaotic murder, atrocity, and death. Germany was seen as intellectual giants right up until they murder 10 million people. Food for thought.
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.
*blood diamonds*debeers scam
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.
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
