Millennials had Y2K, 9/11, housing market crash, "2012 Apocalypse", and Occupy Wallstreet, BLM protests and Obama.
They were the first generation to grow up with social media. They remember when YouTube launched.
They were also exposed to the bad financial decisions of Gen X and Boomers because of the housing market crashing.
The war in Iraq, Kony, MySpace... Millennials are Truman in the
Truman Show or somebody from
The Matrix.
They a bipolar generation that missed out on America's heyday. Searchin' for what's real, they all got existential angst.
