Unluckily, that isn't all that defines a generation, and you can't pick what generation you were born into. Millennials are defined by much, much more than just those weird couple things you focus on, things that don't apply to all that many millennials when you consider how many 15 – 35 yro's there are

Lol fair enough I guess, though it seems oddly passive aggressive.

Yo who wants to buy me some theme park tickets

I didn't grow up in the era of "everybody gets a trophy". I did not grow up with people shielding my feelings from every big bad thing in the world.

you are living a "everyone gets a trophy" lifestyle. seriously, get a grip and enjoy your free ride.

I mean, I wasn't raised like how you said either, and neither was nobody else I grew up with, and I'm 25

It's not something every single person in your age group grew up with, but it seems far more prevalent.

Every generation tends to think this about the newer generation, but it seems like in the past the newer generations were at least capable of dealing with criticisms, etc.

We're in an age now where college students can shut down a campus and more or less hold faculty members hostage and receive no punishment.

If you think someone posting an alt-right meme is passive aggressive against you, then dude, that's your own issue and it says more about you than it does the poster

Lol I didn't mean that, I meant your comments today after the memes.

I assume the parents of most of the Millennials you disagree with Surt are Gen-X'ers, blame them I say

My parents are 'boomers so idk what Gen X parents are like, but maybe they have more of a tendency to do the whole 'participation trophy' stuff?

God, you Millennials take everything so personally. I can't even say what I want anymore without being accused of being 'passive aggressive'. You gonna accuse me of microaggressions next? Bloody snowflakes

I'd be a snowflake if it bothered me, I was just noting it. You don't see me crawling for coloring books and puppy pictures like a lunatic.

Seriously, though, you should blame Gen X more than anyone else. They created the Millennials you disagree with so much, and Millennials can't help but be a product of their parents and the world they created, right? Aim higher, I say

I dunno what to watch today, I wanna get high and watch stuff, but what?

you're just jealous because my generation has a way cooler name. i agree that you got cheated, but let go of your butthurt.

They hold some blame, but "it's my parents fault" as an excuse only goes so far once you reach a certain age.
