Do you realize how often the word “millennial” is thrown around here?
Do you think people who hate on younger generations have forgotten how they used to be? And have forgotten that they used to be hated on by older generations when they were young?
Do you think they understand that calling young people lazy and morally degenerate is one of the biggest clichés throughout all of history? That it dates back to writings from Ancient Greece, and probably also to the time when we sat in caves and started using language to describe each other’s age and actions?
Do you think these old farts just need to lighten up, get a little creative, and stop using younger generations as a scapegoat for everything they dislike?
If so, this poll is for you.
Should we stop the scapegoating cliché once and for all?
Yes we should
Too long, didn’t read
The voting options in this poll are not representative of the diversity of opinions (and I’m an old fart)
So true. Even my parents sometimes says “we were like them”
Also please search the video on youtube “young and wild and free”- Snoop D. and W. Khalifa (I like that song)
I don’t think either side should put down anyone, but it is frustrating coming from the younger side of things being told I’m lazy and entitled just for existing in my age group. I try to avoid telling older people they’re out of touch or anything because I understand adapting is hard. I wish people were just a little nicer to each other.
I don’t think “old farts” is as offensive as “millennials” these days. And besides, ageism has no age. I’m criticizing old people who are ageist, not old people in general. And I’m against ageism of all kinds.
I am 43 and do not consider myself and old fart but I feel out of touch with mostly everyone on this site. I have used the term once on this site when I felt out of touch. It was not an insult. I was asking a question what 15151 meant? I will say this site is very cliquey. I do not know if that is a milleneal thing or not as I can’t tell everyone’s age here.
Yep. Out-of-touch whiners will always be complaining about young people these days. Probably because they’re jealous of the thugs the young people have access to that they never did.
OMG Why isn’t LED jumping all over this? I am whining now because women on this site keep attacking me. I am changing my username to sound more male to see how different the other females treat me here.
