Some call us the worst generation to ever live, others call us pampered, entitled, lazy and useless. To their credit, they are right quite often. Where is the generation that conquered the moon and space, where are the hard workers who went from Europe to the US with no money but a strong determination to succeed. Where is that spirit of being limitless, all powerful and able to do whatever we set our minds to that unlocked so many successes and achievements in the past?
We’re too absorbed with our selfies, Facebook statuses and tweets that we forgot what real life is. We live in our parents home, we wait on the government to give us money and food and we complain whenever things don’t work out as they ought to. Fighting for survival, achieving greatness and reaching for the sky for us is just another dream we’re too realistic to believe in. Let the few create what we need, products, cars, drugs, apps and whatnot, and let us, the mass, enjoy our time down here because YOLO.
We became experts in whining, playing the victim and blaming others. Occupy Wall Street, topple the 1%, burn down the banks and God damn the wealthy. That’s our “raison d’être”, what we live for, because that way we feel that we achieved something, we stood for what’s morally right, we faced the tyrant. But when it comes to working hard, taking risks, going out of our comfort zone and going all in, we simply say NO and fall back on our chair while enjoying MTV.
We spend countless efforts to convince people to let us work less and have more free time. Working over 40 hours a week is unacceptable. Demanding from us to show up for class on a weekend is an insult. Expecting us to contribute to society while we’re young is a human rights abuse. But when someone works 16 hours a day, pulls all nighters, spares no resource to succeed and ends up making a fortune, we’re the first to jump out of our seats to condemn him as a cold blooded capitalist who’s running after money and doesn’t understand that what’s enjoyable in life is spending time with your dog and living a modest life.
We’re champions of hypocrisy, complacency and irrationality. We go for the easy path, the secure path. We attend classes we dislike because we’ll get jobs. We take on jobs we hate because it brings a paycheck. We buy things we don’t need and spend our savings because we want to enjoy the moment. Pathetic.
But again, there are the few, the warriors, the dreamers and the visionaries who will always wake up every morning set on making it big. There will always be that 1% who will get us through and will power the wheels of innovation and progress. The Elite, who believe that success is not the result of luck, but the fruit of blood, sweat and tears. They will be attacked, criticized and condemned for daring to aim far, but one thing remains constant, they will never give up.

This generation really do feel that they are ENTITLED-
and they have no conscience, or shame about it-
Personally, i think that the majority of them are a total waste of skin-….
They are entitled garbage.
I am 25. I’ll be working two jobs,bringing in over 50 hrs a week and still won’t be able to afford rent without a roommate. My roommate and boyfriend have impressive college degrees in fields that they love. They’ve been out of school for years and despite their best efforts, can’t find a job in their fields.
Average minimum wage is about 9 an hr. That’s 720 a paycheck before tax. The cheapest rent in the worst part of town is about 400 a month. Untilies are 200. Then food, gas, car payment and car insurance. After everything your in the hole. On top of that your suppost to pay your way through college.
Why are the dreamers taking jobs and classes they hate but pay well? Because they rather put food on the table then live on the streets. Why do some live with their parents? Because they can’t afford to move out. Why are some afraid to go to college? Because it is very rare to get a job in your field before you have to start paying back your student loan. Which is an extra 200 bill. We are not asking for handouts. We are asking for a fighting chance…
Yes. Dreadful Generation. As exemplified by the popular culture they are addicted too. The worst TV,worst cinema & worst music of the last 200 years.
Not even joking.
The problem is most are taking nonscience degrees. Liberal arts, gender studies, etc. This is why China and Japan are killing us.

Lol good stuff. This is the generation that bites style from every past generation. No originality. Lol
One thing I’ve grown tired of hearing is that my generation, millennials, is the worst generation ever. How is it that the generation born into the most technological and scientifically advanced era in human civilization is the “worst generation ever?” Are people born in 1994 inferior to people born in 1894, 1794, 1694….
Millennials are being compared to multiple generations that stretch back to the Ancient Romans. People across different generations who believed the Earth was flat and who believed it was acceptable to own other people.
My generation is responsible for zero foreign conflict. We’ve started zero wars, invade zero countries, and overthrown zero governments. My generation is responsible for zero economic recessions, zero stock market crashes, zero housing market crashes, and zero banking system failures.
For it to be told by members of our parents and grandparents generation that Millennials (people in their 20s, teens, and kids who aren’t even a decade old yet) are the worst group of individuals to have ever walked the Earth is not only widely inaccurate but also outrageously disrespectful.
I find that they are best cooked over low heat.
Cheers!!!
A generation without pride, self reliance, or the concept of “earning” then getting.
As far as Im concerned this refers to the little amount of millennials you may know. This generation as a whole statistically regardless of your opinions is the most educated generation of the 20th and 21 century. Generation Y or Millennials born from 1980 – 1997 may have flaws but we inherited those flaws from the generations before us. No one is perfect and to talk down a whole generation millions of people who have just surpassed any other generation in the labour force in the US and Canada makes no sense. There is plenty of millennials working hard everyday dont disrespect the many for the acts of the few.

I’m going to leave this here. Read it.

Really? I wouldv’e thought it’d go to the generation that kept slaves or didn’t let women vote or didn’t let gays marry
Wait till the millennials begin to take the reins of governments. That is when the world’s nightmares will begin.
They can’t afford to move out because they need a $700 cell phone with the best laptops and designer clothing. The reason they can’t get a job with those degrees is because they’re useless. You should have been learning an actual skill instead of Liberal Arts. As for the cost of college, who in the hell said you should spend 100’s of thousands of $$$ of a useless degree? What was wrong with your local community college offering degrees in things that actually make money? Too good for that I guess. I have wayyyyyy to many 20 somethings that apply for a job at my restaurants that have never swept, mopped, washed a dish in their lives. Pathetic. And as for working 2 jobs, cry me a freaking river. I’ve done it most of my life. Why, because I like money, I like living on my own, I like paying my own bills. I do blame the generation that bred these whiney losers, that taught them they deserve something for nothing. This whole generations chance was already lost the minute idiots decided to give birth to more idiots. They don’t like me at work because I tell them this is not a game. You will not be playing on your phones and you will abide by the rules. You will clean like everyone else. I’m not sure how they will pay rent and make bills and pay for college because so many of them cannot even wipe their asses with detailed instructions.
Okay then, lets look a my situation. My grandparents came from italy to australia in the 50’s, didnt speak a word of english and had a primary school level education, they worked hard, built a house in bondi, had 4 children, sent them to good schools. My grandmother didnt work after she gave birth, my grandfather worked in a fruit shop and then bought one, he paid for all their weddings and gifted them to ensure they were assisted. He built a life from owning a semi successful fruit shop. Then we have my parents, they didnt go to uni, but it was free, they bought a 4 bedroom house on 800sqm , 9km from sydney cbd on a flight attendant and cafe workers salary, 70k combined they had 2 children. Then there is me, i have a Degree, 2 diplomas, i have been working and studying since i was 16.. i cant even get a starting job in my field of study. Jobs are taken by internationals that will work for less money, organisations advertise more and more contract work, this way they do not need to pay long term benefits, our universities in australia and overrun by international students, as a result entry requirments are lower which has resulted in our qualifications becoming useless AND i went to a top university. Uni students are like mcdonalds hamburgers, the more they churn them out the cheaper they become. I am sick of older generations saying we are entitled. Someone tell me how i am entitled and where i went wrong, someone tell me how i could better myself. I apply for jobs day in day out. We dont even get responses anymore. I would happily work in a cafe or as a flight attendant or in a fruit shop if i could build and entire fucking life from it. Those opportunities are gone. Move further from the city.. okay.. where is the job then? How can i apply my qualifications in the bush? Someone challenge me. Gen x’s were the last generation with the real opportunity. I want kids and a family and a house to raise them in. In sydney we now have 50+ suburbs with an average house price of over 1.1mil.. Myself and my partner need to have a 150,000 deposit CASH and then need to earn a combined salary of 140,000 in order to get a home loan, JUST TO QUALIFY. Foget about paying that debt off, this is ontop of studnet loans, highest petrol prices in history and eveything else that is super inflated. How am i entitled? narcissistic? precious.. all these fucking things that previous generations have labelled me!
The first generation of complete tools.
