		<description>You are an idiot.  In the 80&#039;s, I was between the ages of 10-20.  I have saved , bought 20 acres of land, and finally realized my dream of becoming an artist.  I did all of that without living beyond my means.  The only generation that has fucked up the US is the boomers, who are self-absorbed, arrogant assholes who only want their way .  Believe it or not we are on your side.  We want you to be able to get good jobs,  not have to be in debt up to your eyeballs just to get a good education,  and enjoy life.  Please do not  buy into the idea that they are right and we are just  slackers(a label they gave us by the way).  I am now 41 and I don&#039;t know if we will ever be able to retire or enjoy the golden years like my grandparents did. </description>

		<description>Millenials are not more technologically intelligent, they might know how to use a computer at an earlier age, but they are just consumers of technology. Knowing how to tweak your Facebook profile is not a proof of relevance. 
 
The 5% that I left in my study are those who do not &quot;buy&quot;things whether with their wallet or intellectually, and care beyond the latest IPad. They have true empathy and compassion as opposed to fake compassion of whatever idea is popular in their peer group. 
 
We just had riots in London, and you could see what Millenials really do with their technology: incite others to steal and rebel, not for any kind of higher purpose but so they can get the latest IPad.

		<description>I have to work with Millenials and I have come to the conclusion 95% of them are useless. I&#039;m a GenXer who had the bright idea of not having children. I saw my generation breed , spoil and coddle their children for no specific reasons, giving them a sense of entitlement in complete disproportion with their actual value.The result of that is a generation who can&#039;t function as individuals and need to be in groups at all times, with a peer pressured personality and a very high level of social anxiety. This is a generation who is being sold all kind of disorders as a badge of specialness: ADHD, etc...

		<description>Bwhahahahaha 
 
Your an idiot, Boomers are the ones holding the credit card, we&#039;re the ones always holding the Bill. Personally I think Boomers and millennials are both self absorbed generations who diverse each other. We on the other hand have never cared what people think about us and never will. Go ahead blame us, mis placed as it may be, why not? Do you really think we care?  </description>

		<description>Gen X fucked up the entire United States.  You chased after the yuppie dream that was apparent in your youth on borrowed money.  In the process, you saved little, had kids, moved twice and bought McMansions.  Your BMW was more important that your child&#039;s college tuition.  Your M.O. is &quot;charge now, pay later&quot;, which fueled the corporate machine your generation believed to be shunning.  Now, Gen Yers have greater competition for low-pay jobs, higher competition to get into quality graduate programs, and not acquiring the type of experience necessary to succeed later in life...All because you have a family to take care of and kids that need to learn soon after, while paying for your house that has lost 30% in value.   
 
Good luck in the future.  I just hope there are politicians that are smart enough in your Generation to help fix the mess we&#039;re in (i.e. cutting medicare, medicaid, privatizing social security, and eliminating public-employee unions...the worst of all evils that humanity has created).

 Think about all the things from The Fourth Turning (leaving out any &quot;you should really take your meds&quot; conspiracy theories) such as a changing the cells that they can become tracking devices, demand for public order (street cameras), rampet immigration, extreme &quot;outsourcing&quot; of jobs, lack of career type positions offered, Generation X believing Social Security will not be there, and a massive devaluation after an introduction of realestate derivatives.  It is like a script.  Strauss and Howe even became so-called &quot;business consultants&quot; in Washington DC (not New York or LA, but Washington for business?).  Things can be very bad for us of no fault of our own, but because Strauss-Howe has become a script. </description>

		<description>The biggest problem we face is this:  After reading Generations, Al Gore bought a copy for everyone in Congress.  Then, Newt Gingrich became a big fan.  Mathmaticians started measuring the Chaos Theory of the dynamic system.  The NSA starts hiring people specializing in Chaso Thoery.  Strauss-Howe is taught in universities.  The Yers are all hyped about being the &quot;hero&quot; generation.  Marketing firms use Strauss-Howe in its marketing plans.  All of this ends up that Strauss-Howe becomes a script.  I doesn&#039;t matter if it is (or was going to be) correct or not.  The fact that it is out there and accepted makes it more likely.  </description>

		<description>Great post - appreciated the demographic comparisons.  And the AARP ad was genius!  Thanks for putting it all together in a helpful way.  From a boomer who continues valuing the unique and effective contributions of Gen-Xers and Millennials! </description>

		<description>Why does their music suck? It is terrible and unlistenable.  Maybe the sunset is creeping up on me and I am getting old man syndrome? I was listening to my favorite sports talk radio station the other day (dominated by Gen Xers) and they had a roundtable discussion with millenials.  One of the kids mentioned Blink 182 as &quot;their generational band&quot;...case in point.  Gen X: Millenials :: Greeks: Romans, with the perspective that the Romans stole their culture from the Greeks. </description>
