"Millenials: We suck and We're Sorry" these people are f*cking pathetic.

[Theraflu]

fukk em. fukk them, their single speed bikes clogging up the roads, their shytty craft beers, ugly sweaters, and most of all fukk YOUR IRONY. Everything is sarcastic, smarmy and ironic. They skated through college getting 7 year degrees in Fingerpainting then wonder why they cant find a job. The truth is they CAN find a job. White privilege enables them to get a job almost anywhere, the problem is they dont WANT a job. Cuz their parents rewarded them throughout childhood for being mediocre, so they carry the same attitude to college and on to work. Work gets in the way of their "passion", which is always something they call "art" but no Art Museum would ever accept their re-purposed trash. When your a college kid, living like a nomad and bumming off your parents is ok. When your balding (like lance armstrong in the video) or going grey (like the bespectacled lesbian) you are pathetic.

You really think it's just hipster cacs struggling out here to have the same opportunities as their parents? How do you explain the decrease in opportunities in the global economy for the youth, whether that be USA, Japan, Australia, England? A few lazy, privileged, tatted up, fixie riding White folk is responsible for the wealth inequality and a porous global economy?

Don't waste your breath. People see what they want to see. My grandfather ran away to Philadelphia when he was 16 back in the 1930s. By the time he was 21 years old, he was married to my grandmom, had a good paying job and brought his first house. How many 21 year olds is doing that in 2013?

I'm talking about the cacs in the video, and your talking about macroeconomic geopolitical corporatism and the exponential increases of socioeconomic wealth disparities....







Once again...Hipster cacs?

I thought the thread was about millennials regardless of race and not just the hipster cacs but if that's what you were addressing they definitely have it the easiest, even if it is still worse than their parents, it's still much better standard of living than most non-Whites. I can agree.

Control your anger, he brought up very valid points that's affecting the generation. I did not watch the video but if it's whining due to what he brought up about income inquality, corporate outsourcing etc.....they have room to whine

Not all cacs are rich execs, cacs are poor too and not all Hipsters are rich or even upper class for that matter. It's many Hipsters nationwide that are on some OCCUPY shyt or just on some revolt type of shyt in general because they understand the bullshyt in the system....and for that reason you should ride with them if the causes intertwine

Even your man agrees that regardless to whatever, nobody is affected less by "the system", and nobody benefits more from "the system" than Cacs. All they have to do is take a bath, shave, cut their hair, put on a suit and they can get a job off mommy or daddy's reccomendation.

While I agree that these are awful people (baby boomer parents dropped the ball), I don't buy the whole rant about not being able to find jobs because of laziness or some over abundance of humanities degrees. Your criticism only applies to a small portion of the youth.

We will definitely be the first generation in America to have less wealth than our parents. Majority of it this is due to systematic things

1. stressing the importance of a college degree while ignoring trades and entrepreneurship
2. Boomers not knowing financial literacy
3. Corporations and Banks having more rights than any individual human
4. Outsourcing of jobs
5. Hyper-capitalism created a market for meaningless, low wage jobs that make the economy appear to function above where it actually is...
6. Integrating social media and technology into our social/cultural sphere has created tons of bubbles that are going to burst soon enough (useless apps selling for 100s of millions)
7. Cities, which were normally the place the young and creative went, have become havens for the disgustingly rich, foreign and old.
8. Wealth inequality is the largest it's ever been in history. Productivity has significantly outpaced wages.
9. Universities have become overfunded and thus have morphed into corporations

With that said, Americans live a privileged life but the goal is always to move forward and never backwards.



Believe it or not, the 70s, 80s and 90s were easier for upward mobility. I'm sure the requirement to become a doctor these days are 10 fold what anyone during that time period went through, not to mention exponentially more expensive.

Don't tell these old heads anything. They went to school with moderate loans, drove cars when gas was 1.50 per gallon, came out of school with 50k jobs regardless of degree with ease, and had tons of opportunities. Now the minimum wage jobs are the norm, people having roommates into their 40s, and even have people defending corruption as "the American Dream."

Naw bruh your vision is twisted, for some reason u thinking all cacs is what you see on TV. That's not true.
It's cac kids that have parents with no connections or recommendations and even if they did use connections or recommendations, can you really knock that? This is not no tv shyt this is reality, is it more rich cacs than poor cacs? NO. It's a system based off class structure in America(upper/middle/lower), more cacs fall in middle/lower than rich

You living a better life than a cac living in hick town PA or meth ridden town in Iowa

Pretty much. The older generation loves to call the younger generation lazy and this and that, but many in this generation are not only going to school, but working full time jobs as well. The reality is they've drained the younger generation dry. They've shipped nearly all of the manufacturing overseas, leaving cities like Detroit a wasteland. They're shipping the 'knowledge' jobs overseas where they can. On top of that, jobs that you could get out of high school, now you need a four year degree and experience. You'll have a $40,000+ loan coming out of school as well as having to complete with a flood of other graduates for a diminishing supply of jobs. Let's not ignore the fact that gas basically tripled and the price of basic living goods greatly outpaced the rate at which wages rose. What did they say? If minimum wage rose with the rate of inflation, it'd be $20+? So you have a situation where people have degrees and $10,000's of debt and are actually making LESS than what minimum wage would be if it kept up with inflation. Let's not ignore the fact we are in perpetual wars that have no end in sight and are looking to start new ones.

I live in a neighborhood that is overran by hipster cacs. Have you interacted with them? None of them are from poor families, if anything they come from wealthy families and want to "find themselves" by living like nomads until the trust fund runs out.

Here's the thing that gets me about this video...

The millenial/hipster generation represented in this video always tries so hard to make their struggle in life seem so much greater than others and that just reeks of entitlement out the ass. As well, they wear their celebration of failure, low standards, and self-loathing on their sleeve.This whiny video (while it does have good points) makes me realize why hipster culture en masse is so annoying to me. They just project their struggle onto others which is a slap in the face to people that are really struggling out there.

US...we've had a history of being forced by the greater society to keep our struggle to ourselves and suffer in silence. The moment we do get loud we're accused of "complaining", "whining" and told to "get over it".

Quinn, Molly, Ethan, and Zoey can't even take a job interview rejection without it warranting a Huffington Post or Gawker article.

Damn shame how the older cats that graduated from college in the mid 90s got great jobs and lived the American dream. Now Gen Y gotta set things right when we get power.

Gen Y has to correct the boomers and Gen X on the mess they did.
