Nice. I was pumped when they announced on Wednesday that they had finally got him to come on the show.

Yes, I know more people than I care to admit that own a house and have children but their parents still pay a large portion of their bills so that they can live a nice middle-class lifestyle. Most of them majored in dumb shite in college and now have trouble finding a job that pays more than $35,000/yr, but are so accustomed to living a certain lifestyle that they can't do it without the assistance of their parents.
I'm right there on the cusp of them in my mid-30's, so I know first hand that millennials can suck. However, they didn't just come out of the womb like they are, a lot of the blame lies with the parents who raised their kids to be like this.

you would be disappointed at how many of them are blue blooded liberals after a 5 year education at LSU
I spent a lot of time at LSU, and took courses in multiple colleges and departments with a variety of professors. I can't think of a single instance where a professor brought politics into the classroom. Liberal/conservative or otherwise.

28, 2 college degrees, work full time, don't live with my parents (live 2 hours away from them actually), and married with 1 kid. I pay my taxes, don't bitch about the government or needing "safe spaces", and in general try to be as productive as I can instead of being a mooch.
I hate the millenial stereotype, and thankfully I've never been accused of being one.

It is going to be 2035, and people are still going to think millennials are 16 year old kids.
Bro, Baby Boomers were already retarded and now they're starting to get old enough to become senile and develop dementia. Just let them yell about the damn kids on their lawn and leave them alone.

I guess I'm shielded from the stereotype so often mentioned in these threads. I live in a neighborhood where the next oldest homeowner is probably 25 years older than me. The few millennials I work with are hard workers and get their stuff done.
I just assume the people that crap all over millennials in these threads generally do not know that many of them.

The Progressive Left began taking over academia in the late '60s. By the '90s that takeover was pretty much complete. This generation is the result of that takeover and SJW indoctrination from the media.
Give David Horowitz' Radical Son a read.It's been "in progress" for nearly 100 years. The takeover was complete by the late 1970s-early 1980s, certainly by the time I got into undergrad. in 1984. And, I'm guessing my undergrad. in New Orleans, like much of everything else here, was late to the party.
Just my uneducated opinion, though. Horowitz lays it all out, he was one of them, too.

And I refuse to accept that. I go by Harvard's definition of millennial, which they say is either 1985 or 1986, but either way I'm in the clear. frick all that other shite.

For Millennials (aka Gen Y) in particular, we use the birth years 1977 to 1995 for North America. This birth range is slightly different than some other sources that believe the ending cutoff for Millennials is 2000. We strongly believe that the 2000 birth year is incorrect. The reason: the most important, generation-defining moment for Millennials (particularly in the U.S.), was September 11, 2001. It’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to be born between 1996 and 2000 and have a strong, emotional connection to 9/11. Your brain is simply too young to put the event in a cultural, geographic, or other context. From our research-based vantage point, if you were born in the U.S. and 9/11 has always been history to you—something you literally cannot remember—then you are not a Millennial but a member of Generation Z. You can watch our co-founder’s, Jason Dorsey’s, viral TEDx talk explaining Gen Z here. In terms of the starting years for Millennials, a similar approach applies but without a clear, defining moment to identify the beginning of the generation. In this case, we look for patterns or consistency in behaviors and viewpoints in our national and international research studies. For this reason, we use 1977 as the beginning birth year for Millennials. We know that other groups use 1980, but from our vantage point, the consistency in shifting from Gen X to Millennial starts around 1977, not 1980.

Irony?
The USA had a blip in the economy. In the Soviet Union, outside of approved areas there were constant shortages.
One nation flourished, one nation went bankrupt. The problem is your "dumbass" doesn't know the history of failed socialism.
You've proven why many millennials suddenly embraced failed economic policy, they are ignorant.

Stereotypes generally are based in some truth but don't apply across the board obviously. I work with a few millenials that are the stereotypical, buddy Holly glasses wearing Bernie bros and others that are completely opposite

I was in on the shite on millennial stuff, then found some say 1980 classifies as millennial.
I say genY. We had the computers add the science the millennial had with the outdoor childhood and roaming freedoms Gen Xers had.

Most I know are not the incompetent basement dweller they've been made out to be. Except one I work with, he's a stereotype.
I do think based on my interactions that they're more neurotic, less social intelligence and much less adventurous than previous generations.

And the one's they know fit the stereotype. I mean, being one, I would guess that 75% of the people I interact with are "millenials". And I could count on one hand the number of people that come even remotely close to the stereotypical millenial.
Now, I worked with a handful of them in Baton Rouge for 2.5 years that fit the stereotype pretty damn well. Eating their avocado toast and other hipster foods. Drinking overpriced coffee. Refusing to shop anywhere not named Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Complaining about conservatives and not having free healthcare.
