Any Millennials on DU?

46. I'm a Boomer

but I relate less and less to my generation and more and more to younger generations. Maybe it's because I don't think Boomers are any better than anybody else, just as I find calling the previous generation "The Greatest Generation" ridiculous. Also, I didn't stay at one job and was in the gig economy before it was called a 'gig economy' - my profession became very unstable in the late 90s and I've been struggling to stay employed since then - I totally understand the struggle younger people are having with employment because I share it, whether I like it or not.

More and more I feel like boomers are closer to my parents and not my contemporaries. Mostly I'm appalled at how out of touch even progressive boomers are. I have to explain things to my slightly older contmporaries that anyone who stays in touch should really know, and they're intelligent, progressive people. I'm not sure what's going on.

Some of the saddest discussions I've seen on this forum is those where clueless boomers rank on younger generations, particularly the school loans relief one - my gawd, it's no wonder I can't relate to 'boomers' despite being one.
