Someone asked people to share their most Millennial complaints, and these 21 will have you nodding into your avocado toast
Millennials, in case you weren’t sure, are the generation born between 1981 and 1996. The youngest millennials will be 30 next year, and the eldest are already 44.
Millennials are the first generation to grow up almost universally computer literate, have missed out on the free university education of Generation X and the Baby Boomers, and will largely struggle to buy a house, while being berated for that failure by older generations that think of them as lazy snowflakes. Rock. Millennials. Hard place.
But what are their bugbears – their petty and more serious grievances?
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

This is what they had to say.
1.
Movie runtimes are too bloated. I pay for an experience and not a dollar-per-minute ratio.
A solid 90 minute movie is better than a 90 minute movie stretched to 2 hours just because that’s the fashionable length right now.

The most millennial complaint is losing 12% of your income to social security which we will never be able to collect on.

computers should not be a thing that gets replaced every 2-3 years, they should be a thing you can lovingly keep alive for like 11 years through a combination of luck, compressed air, and occasionally booting in safe mode https://t.co/Ub9XMlbn49

We need to stop the wearing PJs or what looks like PJs out of the house trend before we lose all self respect

There are no more house parties. Everyone is over-planned with activities and social gatherings booked months in advance that there is no room for the casual house hang and unexpected party.

How did you buy a house with a pack of gum wrappers and now it’s 400k for a 2 bed 1 bath. Make it make sense

Why are computer programs and the internet less useable now than they were 20 years ago? Google, Microsoft, etc.
