I just want to go on record as saying, as a 33 year old man, I am NOT a Millennial! I am tired of being bunched into the bin of hipster idiots who insist on wearing Converse and hoodies to work. My company has a very relaxed dress code, and I take crap for wearing slacks and an pressed button-up, collared shirt every day, but dammit, I believe in the old adage, “You dress for the job you want, not the job you have.”
And the whole “self-esteem” garbage these kids expect is mind-numbing. The required stroking of egos is such that I vomit a little when I have to do it.
So please, don’t lump us all into the same group of maladjusted wells of self-doubt and self-loathing. Some of us actually work our asses off to get and stay ahead.
I think 32 and up are considered, “Generation X” not millenials.
The borough just up the road from where I sit was recently named in our local paper as “the place where hipsters go to have kids”.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
