A Story as Old as Time
I came across this clip of author, motivational speaker and marketing consultant Simon Sinek going off on millennials; said clip went viral. No prize for guessing, Sinek (43) is not a millennial. The allegations are overly familiar – that millennials are narcissists, fragile yet somehow delusional, impatient, and lack commitment.
These, however, are far from uniquely millennial issues. In fact, they are quite timeless and universal. As long as the world keeps turning, older folks will continue to complain that youngins don't adhere to established social norms. Whether those norms actually should be upheld is a different issue altogether.
Blaming millennials for all the problems in the world is like being pissed off at your (“accidentally” conceived) kid for making your life difficult.
