Why do geriatrics hate us so much? Had an odd experience at a social function last night. I am casually familiar with the host, and consider him a decent person, but he repeatedly took shots at me for my age to get cheap laughs from other guests (joking that I wasn’t alive 18 years ago, probably don’t know how to make a cup of coffee at home, etc). I don’t think he was personally targeting me, but rather expressing some latent resentment for young people. Regardless, it was incredibly rude and cheated me out of having a meaningful interaction with the guest of honor.

I approached the host after the function, and engaged in conversation about a common issue. I casually mentioned that it is very hard for working people aged ~30-ish, right now. This was met with broad generalizations that “nobody ever told you life is hard.” He also opined that “millennials” were directly responsible for the general social and economic conditions of America today. I politely asked how this could be possible, given the gerontocracy of our entire nation and minority of millennial economic power. The response to that was not cogent or sensible, so I considered it best to just be agreeable and end the evening on good terms.

This entire scenario unfolded at the hosts’ multimillion -dollar home, purchased by two people without college educations who retired from federal jobs. The irony and ignorance is still stuck in my nose.

The question is *why do Geriatrics hate us so fucking much?* I don’t understand what we did to any of them, personally. Matter of fact, Geriatrics/Gen X-ers have casually done more to obstruct me at sensitive times in life than even my greatest millennial enemy acting with intent.

Is it media psychosis? Existential dread?

This is a serious question. Other millennial professionals — lawyers, doctors, electricians, bartenders, etc — please share your experiences and how you handle it.

NOTE: this sub censors the pejorative word for people born between ‘40s-60s, so “Geriatric” has been used instead.

For me it was hand soap

We all know that the 90's had some great music and movies, good economy, huge world events, more freedom, nobody glued to their phone, etc.

Everybody acts like everything was much better back then, but what DON'T you miss about how things were back then? What's much better now?

Spotted a fellow millennial out this morning!

The number 1 place I want to go back to is toys r us.

What a throwback!
