And the list:
quote:
In 2013, Joel Stein deemed Millennials the “ME Generation.” The TIME contributor called Generation-Y selfish, egotistical and lazy. He also noted, however, that we may just be the generation that will save us all.
Per usual, no one knows what to make of us. Our parents scorn us, then praise us. They lament over our technological dependency, then ask us to set up their iPads. They tell us we’re lazy, then ask us for a loan.
Our generation is an anomaly. We refuse to do things their way, so they call us entitled. We refuse to sit in cubicles, so they call us spoiled. We refuse to follow their plans, so they call us stubborn. What they are slowly realizing, however, is we’re not lazy, stubborn or entitled. We just refuse to accept things as they’re given to us.
We refuse to accept that life must be dictated by a job we hate. We refuse to go to work in suits and ties when we’re more productive in sneakers and graphic tees.
And the list:
quote:
1. We play by our own rules.
2. We don’t take the first answer given to us.
3. We don’t care about getting into trouble.
4. We’re willing to work for nothing if it means being happy… Despite being in debt.
5. We know how to beat the system.
6. We’re always trying to change the game.
7. We have social media on our side.
8. We like a good fight.
9. We don’t care about the perks.
10. We hate that “old boys club” sh*t.
11. We’re not about climbing the ladder, we’re about circumventing it.
12. We ask for what we want rather than implying it.
13. We’re not afraid to quit if we don’t like what’s going on.
14. We’re not on that suit and tie.
15. We’d rather start work at 10 and finish at 10.
16. We’ve got youth on our side.
17. We don’t have a chip on our shoulders.
18. We know technology a hell of a lot better.
19. We’re more educated, by the book and the street.
20. We’re not interested in office politics.
21 . We have less to lose and everything to gain.
22. We don’t pursue the paycheck, we pursue the passion.
23. We have that “f*ck you” attitude.
24. We are trying to beat the system, not just work with it.
25. We don’t have to go to college to get ahead.
26. We’re getting married later and working younger.
27. We’re listening to our women.
28. We want freedom more than anything else.
29. We would rather die a slow death than sit in cubicles.
30. We know they need us more than we need them.
31. We distribute the news, not the other way around.
32. We don’t care as much about profit as we do the product.
33. We’re willing to listen to one another.
34. We understand whom we’re talking to.
35. We don’t do drug tests.
36. We’re open to any gender, sexual orientation and race.
37. We know what makes us happy.
38. We know what doesn’t make us happy.
39. We learned from our parents mistakes.
40. We’ve defined them, they haven’t defined us.
41. We’d rather travel and be poor than be rich and never see the world.
42. We don’t take life too seriously.
43. We understand we’re all going to die someday.
44. We’d rather have experiences than bank statements.
45. We refuse to hate what we do.
46. We know there’s always a better way.
47. We want careers, not jobs.
48. We have passion.
49. We have morals.
50. We have each other.

Millenials are truly the greatest generation. We're gonna save the planet from global warming, and then we're gonna post on the internet about it

Some of that is a hand job.
Some is cool and accurate but applies to the last few generations not just millennials.

Lauren “LMoney” Martin grew up with one goal: to be the first woman engineer. Upon finding out there already were women engineers, and unable to pass Calc 1, she chose to study the beautiful and honorable art of advertising. After advertising proved uninspiring, she attempted a career in acting which was over before she could get on stage. And when she failed at everything else she decided to become a writer.
You're making us look bad count.

As someone born in 88, Scruffy claims over 50% of that list is crap.

Yeah, that paragraph is way more descriptive of this generation than that stupid list.
