I agree but why do millennials skip Gen-X? Is it generally skip 1 generation due to age difference (i.e. not that big of a difference age wise between X and millennials). If that is the case Gen-Z will blame Gen-x and then those just now being born will blame millennials.
I'm thinking it skips a generation because of what you said being too close in age, that puts most generations now at odds with their parents generation. I was born in '82 (I guess the end of being a millennial), my 1 and 3 year old boys will probably be in the generation blaming all their shite on us

shite, you are right. I was born in '87 and my kids are 1 and 3. I better start working on them now. They better show me some damn respect!

Ok. So the oldest ones were in their 20s. But also preteens. How did I not understand?

It probably depends on where you fall in your generation's birth years. I'd imagine there are plenty of older millennials with GenZ kids. Your 1 and 3 year old are going to be whatever comes after that.
I'm in the younger half of GenX and my kid is squarely in the middle of that generation as well.

The dot.com bubble looks like kids stuff compared to 2008. That wasn't even a bad recession.

There’s a reason why they call Gen-X the “forgotten generation” or the “slacker generation”. You’re talking about the latchkey kids, and part of me thinks the kind of quiet, unassuming nature of Gen-X as a whole is why the Boomers are so put-off by Millenials. The Gen-X population is also smaller than both the Boomers and Millenials.

The Great Recession
is this what we are calling it now?
"Great Recession" doesn't hold a candle to what our parent's parents went thru with the Great Depression and it feels disingenuous to almost mimic the naming convention. IMO.
This seems like a dramatic representation compared to what i remember taking place in 2008. I graduated from college that year and still landed a full time job. Maybe don't get a bullshite degree?

Millennials, Lowrey argues, have never really had any economic security, and this pandemic all but guarantees “that they will be the first generation in modern American history to end up poorer than their parents.”
if it saves just one life.
I read a stat last week that said as of that time, for every one CV19 death that 750 people had lost a job

sorry for your bad luck, but it's still a dramatic representation IMO. So some Millenials had to move back in with their parents for a few months after college.

Same here but acting like it was no big thing is a little ridiculous. Hell, I worked for a large outfit in an in-demand field and my arse was away from home for the first 1.5 years working on a low margin project that was essentially just a job saver for people. It wasn't a run-of-the-mill event.

Go read about the 08 financial crisis since you don't think it was a big deal.

I worked for a large financial company during 08-09. 25% of our employees got the ax. I luckily wasn't one of them.

I have a number of friends that graduated in the 2009 LSU Landscape Architecture class of 28 students. IIRC the breakdown was as follows:
4 got jobs in their field in US
6 got jobs in their field in Asia
18 ended up taking whatever job they could get...most of these never entered their intended industry.
This is the premier program in the country. Where firms outbid each other for the students and have a 100% industry placement rate in most years.
