(15,805 posts)There's no point in denying it. Millenials are no different than any of the other six recognizable generations who came before them. Starting with the Lost Generation, the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation, the Baby Boomer Generation, and so on, the Millennials have their own way of speaking, too.
Trying to tack on the ever critical, boogie man "stereotype" label doesn't make it go away, those peculiar phases and odd inflections adopted be each generation are an integral part of our history and culture. The eccentric mannerisms might be annoying or ridiculous in the present tense, but as time goes by we tend to fondly remember all the quirky things our parents and grandparents said and they they become charming and endearing for all their oddities.
