      Millennials are in the “Oh fuck I’m ‘the Man’ now” phase.

        Are we? Still too poor to own stuff because generations before us are hoarding riches like they could take them to the grave.

        I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. And it’ll happen to you too!

    Try living in the shadow of boomers with no support. We were helpless (okokok; also apathetic). I for one am glad to have the backup of the following generations. Even if each successive generation is more inscrutable to me than the previous.

  Every generation has slang.

    Yup. They have every right to call the slang I grew up with asinine, too. In fact, it would be weird if they didn’t.

    It kind of amazes me that a few words, like “cool”, have stood the test of time. They’re outliers, though.
