Not sure why the Gen Xers (of which I qualify) and Boomers think Millennials are something different. Their parents all said the same exact things about them. And their parents said the same thing about those parents.

While I'm not a Millennial and some current trends of theirs confuse me, I honestly don't get all the ridiculous animosity that gets sent their way.
