WHY are people 18-30 called "millennials" ?

WHY are people 18-30 called "millennials" ?
WHAT does someone born in 1980 or 1990, have to do with the year 2000?

A MILLENNIUM is 1000 years.
The NEW millennium was 2001.

Anyone born in 2001 and on, is actually a "millennial"

Now, lots of people say "millennials" the 18-30 group are really stupid, entitled and useless.

It leads me to think that when newspapers and such started talking about REAL millennials, kids born in the NEW MILLENNIUM (2001 and forward) the stupid entitled 80s-90s kids got jealous and decided "millennial" includes them to, well because..........................

Seriously, there is NO reason, why anyone 18-30, born in 1980,1990 should be called a millennial.
They have NOTHING to do with the new millennium.
NOTHING.

Screenshot this, copypasta it, spread it.

Stupid being stupid and using words wrong.

found the millennial faggot

Mainly because millenial-bashing is the favorite pastime of anti-intellectuals, and they want more people under that bubble so they can dismiss them.

Fork in the grass gave me gas

Coming of age in new Millennium. Cognitive recognition and cultural comprehension are not your strengths.

It's not about when they were born, its about when they became adults. Which hasn't happened yet, so in a way you're right.

33, born in 1982, what the FUCK do I have to do with the NEW millennium?

witnessed the millenium change while not being adult yet, so less than 18 or 21 when Y2K struck = millenial

>33

and you're still here? what a fucking faggot

just kill yourself already

"Baby Boomers" are called that because they where born during the big BABY BOOM after WW2.
Do you think they "came of age" in the years of the baby or something.

Please don't call me stupid, you intellectual retard.

Ya, wow, someone who got the internet at 12, using the internet 20 years later.
I should def kill myself.

Please faggot, you wouldn't open your mouth like that in public, keep it closed online too pissant.

You're stupid.

you should kill yourself for being a manchild

The silent generation wasn't born in the years of silence and generation X wasn't born during the X years. Each takes its name from something different. I'm not sure why you don't understand this.

The generation is named for the time period during which you had your formative years. Retard.

According to the logic of retards here,
Baby Boomers came of age in the years of the great "booming" and "babying"
Gen X came of age in the X years
Gen Y came of age in the Y years

And now "millennials" means Gen X and Y somehow cause they came of age in the "new millennium"
AND
Kids actually born in 2001 and on are called WHAT?
Harry Potter kids cause Harry Potter was popular?

Check'd

I was born in 1998, am I a millennial? Plz Sup Forums I don't want to be a millennial, everyone calls them faggots who don't work and play vidya ;-;

Its because people born in 1980- 1990s had children, that or destroying our country with liberalism. Pretty much nobody had balls in that time frame and they all grew up to be pussy man children.

So the Baby Boomers formative years where the years of Booming and Babying?
WTF does that even mean then?

>why doesn't X follow the exact same patterns of this completely unrelated thing

millennial "intellectuals"

This.
It's because baby boomers before us are realizing that everything in life had been handed to them easily and they are struggling to find a way to stay atop a stronger, smarter, and faster generation. Once they die the world will be a better place and my pockets will stop hurting from taxes.

They're called "millennials" because they were very near to voting age around the year 2000, you mind-numbingly stupid fuck. They were the voters of the new millennium. Duh. Fucking kill yourself.

nice trips

Preach

they aren't. thats generation y. generation y are children of baby boomers. millennials are born from generation x.

Kill yourself you insult spewing autist faggot. Its words on a screen. Calm the fuck down ADHD retard.

Where Baby Boomers, born in the BOOMING and BABYING years, ya retard faggot bitch fuck shit REEEEEEEEE ADHD FUCK

Eat shit you autist computer faggots

>a stronger, smarter, and faster generation

wow really makes u think

>OP breaks into an autistic fit of rage because something doesn't follow a pattern he likes.

I know we like to joke about autism, but I think OP might actually be autistic.

Im from 1994 here, if we talk about millenials, we do it in the negative context, For example seeing people my age working behind the cash register at your super market, Or at other stores, We can tell that they are annoyed and bored by the job, This is going to get worser and worse.

Triggered little faggot. You will grow up to be a manchild, if you're not one already.

>using the internet and computer over 25 makes you a total loser failure basement shut in
According the retard faggots on Sup Forums

Literally eat shit and die you intellectual retards

Found the 14 year old

The government should pay my living costs, like it or not. I'm MUCH smarter than the average person, they should invest their money on me instead of giving it to the billionaires running the world.

>REEEEEEEEE
Wow. You really are coming unhinged.

>OP calls user autistic
>meanwhile OP loses control and flies into an autism-fueled temper tantrum

Kek.

>this guy can make real arguements
>SHUT.HIM.DOWN

sure pal, go tell your wife and kid about how you waste your day on a faggot's website full of furries, traps and all sorts of porn

I'm sure you're raising your family just fine

I guess cause primarily they're adult lives really start in the 2000s.
You can't do shit as a kid

Sorry forgot the green text, I know you mental retards can't think beyond specific intrucstructions, predetermined "codes" and "rules"
Called sarcasm retard.

Just cause you waste your day here, doesn't mean I do as well.
Hey retard, not everyone is YOU

Figure it out. You're not fucking smart either.

adult here, what can I do now?

It's not a "real argument". It's simply that OP is buttmad because there's a word out there and its definition doesn't follow the pattern of other words that also refer to a similar thing.

It's literally OP losing his God damned mind because a thing he doesn't like is allowed to exist.

Lookit all the butthurt fake millennials freaking out cause they're title is being stolen.

hey faggots, you're not special and your single mothers raised total fucking LOSERS.

Imagine my life how ever you need to faggots.
It's usually projections of your own.

...

Intellectual retard shows his hand.
See if you can pinpoint your stupidity

You'll note that English doesn't actually have any rules of grammar for writing sarcasm. Therefore, if you wish to convey sarcasm, you should be certain to do it in a culturally relevant way so that the person who reads it understands what you're saying.

But you didn't do that, instead you had a rage-induced seizure all over your keyboard and now you're mad that I can't read your mind. Just fucking kill yourself already.

>there's a word out there and its definition doesn't follow the pattern of other words

So, every OTHER word relates to what it means, by definition, cause that's how language works,
EXCEPT for the term "millennial"
I am now having a nervous break down according to retards for thinking this way

Look fuckwit, you can't just change the rules to suit you.
Then again, most of you act like women despite having a cock.

What, exactly, is the Millennial generation?

The termMillennialsis usually considered to apply to individuals who reached adulthood around the turn of the 21st century. The precise delineation varies from one source to another, however. Neil Howe and William Strauss, authors of the 1991 bookGenerations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069,are often credited with coining the term. Howe and Strauss define the Millennial cohort as consisting of individuals born between 1982 and 2004.

Other proposed dates for Millennials:

According to Iconoclast, a consumer research firm, the first Millennials were born in 1978.Newsweek magazine reported that the Millennial generation was born between 1977 and 1994.In separate articles, the New York Times pegged the Millennials at 1976-1990 and 1978-1998.A Time magazine article placed the Millennials at 1980-2000.

Overall, the earliest proposed birthdate for Millennials is 1976 and the latest 2004. Given that a familial generation in developed nations lies somewhere between 25 and 30 years, we might reasonably consider those the start and end points.

There is a great deal of variation from one individual to another within any generational cohort. Nevertheless, the particular environment for any generation affects those individuals in ways that are observable as broad tendencies. This definition of the term discusses those reported tendencies for Millennials in the workplace, Millennials and technology, Millennials and culture.

You poor sad little shut in faggot. Only complete life losers are as bitter as you.

Tip your fedora fatass

>Intellectual retard
>Intellectual
>retard

Does it hurt to be this stupid? Is that why you're so angry?

So basically people are retarded and just say whatever they fuck they want, and make up meanings for words.

Fuck a job, Welcome in 2016.

I'm angry at intellectual retards.

you see, your generation is intellectually retard.
You can memorize things
Construct arguments using "intelligent" sounding words
but reality is, you're all fucking retards who can't think.

Yup basically

Enjoying your job at Wal-Mart ?

Human Language: The Definition

Seems to me like your claim was poorly thought out.
How does it feel to be black, Pot?

The category is "words that describe a generation". All of those other words describe OTHER generations and therefore have little to nothing to do with the term "millennial". So no, there doesn't have to be a pattern. They don't describe the same thing.

>So, every OTHER word relates to what it means, by definition, cause that's how language works

Actually, language doesn't work that way. Words that describe different ideas don't have to follow the same pattern. Why are you so fucking stupid?

If you want to imagine I work at wal-mart so you can feel better about your pathetic life, by all means. IMAGINE away

Nothing you've said is actually intelligent.

MILLENNIUM ;
the DEFINITION is 1000 years.

Then you have your argument.
Seriously, you're an intellectual retard.

Working at Wal-Mart confirmed.

Working at walmart confirmed

Go cry to your mommies, you FAKE millennials

Some words on a screen made you REALLY ANGRY cause you thought you where smart and these word challenged what YOU THINK is right.

Calm down you ADHD fucking retards.

Seriously, you coward keyboard mouth pieces do not talk to real humans and if you did, you'd quickly have your ugly fucking face caved in just railing off on people, like you do on the computer.

Learn some fucking manners you mouthy shits.

>get shit for being underage b&
>give shit to "overage" m&

Sleep with a body pillow that is also is "girlfriend" and has a small incision in the vagina region to accommodate his 2 inch erect penis which is usually hidden under a giant slab of fat cornfirmed

>MILLENNIUM ;
>the DEFINITION is 1000 years.

Right. Which is why "millennial" makes perfect sense:

>Millennial
>the DEFINITION is a person who is near to the age of majority at the turn of the millennium. Someone who is of voting age or near voting age for the 2000 or 2004 or 2008 presidential election. Therefore, someone who was born in the late 80's or early 90's.

They are the first generation of voters for the new MILLENNIUM, you gaping fuckhole.
