It turns out that being a millennial doesn’t automatically equate to being lazy, entitled, or glued to social media—though many of us do find it quite irritating to be pigeonholed in that way. Defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, millennials are those born between 1982 and 2000, meaning if you’re currently between 18 and 36, you’re one of us!
Part of the millennial experience includes delaying marriage and parenthood, and showing less interest in car ownership and home buying. But hey, our tech-savvy generation is far from lazy and entitled. The witty millennials on Twitter definitely prove that point.
I wish I had the same passion for anything as baby boomers have for critiquing us:

Honestly:
People act like being politically correct is a bad thing; we’re just trying not to be jerks:
They mock our selfies, forgetting that narcissism existed long before any of us were born in 1982:
They think we’re outlandish for advocating universal healthcare:
And yes, we do love food—who doesn’t?
Brunch is our jam, too:
And let’s not overlook avocado toast:
Oh, and by the way:
At least we understand branding:
Please, don’t be upset because our lingo is beyond your comprehension:
We’re not bothered because we know what’s up:
And we maintain a sense of perspective:
But for goodness’ sake, stop blaming us for all the messes you made before we even arrived:
So there it is. Millennials face a lot of criticism from older generations, yet we weren’t the ones who put carpet over hardwood floors or cast a vote for Trump. Just saying!
