kinda hate the monthly think pieces and video essays from armchair psychologists about "millennials infantilizing themselves because they've been priced out of the housing market" or whatever. your coworker with a chougie-assed "i can't adult today" mug works full time, pays taxes, and has two kids in elementary school. but she'd throw it out if she had a mortgage? fucken weirdo pathologizing sanrio lapelle pins lmao go away

Right! A lot of the pathologizing about "this generation refuses to grow up" seems to just boil down to "these people like the same things they did when they were younger" which, that's just a thing people do. Teenagers who liked rock and roll in the sixties grew up into adults who like rock and roll.

i think it's possible that what people are actually noticing is that adults have ways of finding other like minded adults that weren't ubiquitous until the turn of the century.

Fun fact: Named generations with personality types is (almost) entirely right-wing conspiracy theory garbage about how to predict and profit from wars and stuff, and is only slightly less scientific than those charts about the similarities between the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations that exist to make a lewd joke. So you're not exactly going to find the best and the brightest writing about particular age cohorts...
