Bit late to the Slacker party there millennials. But ya, keep believing everything that happened to you has happened for the first time I’m in history.

It's the 1% vs the working class, n9t generation vs generation.

Don't let this main stream media conglomerate tell you what to think. Don't let me tell you what to think.

Will that's not a very constructive comment, is it? I wonder if you wanted to try it you could actually add something meaningful to the conversation?

It’s a very constructive comment if you consider that the author of this piece has failed to learn from history and will continue to do so, you’re welcome.

You are unfairly criticizing all millennials by using this author as the sole representative.

Have a poke around at the pissy ass responses I’ve had to this comment then consider that Reality Bites was a love letter to an entire generation who felt this way twenty years or more before this article came out.

Failure to recognise history is the very DNA of the millennial. Bite me.
