What the gently caress is with Millennials and having beards and wearing plaid shirts? I was at a bar and it was like I was at the worlds-scrawniest-lumberjack meetup.

Well off young people dressing like working class people ironically has always been a thing, but the lumberjack look just hits all the right spots somehow

Modern art is about concept and not execution.

Are Generation Xers millenials now? I liked that stereotype better since I liked Nirvana and stuff.

Generation X are the boomers kids from their first marriage in their 20's when they were broke, that ended badly; they've helped them get though college at least but have mostly forgotten and left with a lot of sullen moody emotional issues;

Millennials are the kid they had with their much younger second or third wife years later (thanks to viagra- with dads track record mom wanted to lock down the money) when they had a lot more money but were older and less involved, who were plunked down in front of an iPad in the trophy house they plan to die in

No college degree is a golden ticket these days, you have to go out there and hustle and be flexible and be willing to take opportunities as they come.

can anyone explain hipsters to me? like does anyone know any of them personally? i grew up in new york and i see them all the time but i just can't wrap my mind around the culture

a lot of them are passionate liberals but have money to live in $5000 brooklyn apartments and ride cafe racers to their made up hr jobs. and i don't get the being dirty and folk thing? i mean if you live in san fran or manhattan you are about as far from being environmentally sound as a plastic bottle, do they seriously think anyone is taking their farmer aesthetic that seriously? it's an ironic thing right?

The entire purpose of their dress and behavior is to be hard to understand

It's a youth subculture, so if you are of the appropriate age and get indoctrinated enough to be able to recognize other successful members of the culture you get to keep feeling like one of the cool kids in school for several more years, with all the benefits thereof including girls dating you

Past versions of alternative youth culture music and fashion/lifestyle movements have had a strong element of political involvement, like protesting the Vietnam war or championing the civil rights movement (think "rage against the machine" in the 1990's); this current trend doesn't have much of that, it really is just a bunch of kids with too much money in their $5000 apt in Brooklyn being kind of weird and exclusive and dressing badly.

ITT bitter uncool millenials make fun of cool millenials that fit in

As a not-rich guy going to school in New York I hung out mostly with local not-rich New Yorkers in the not rich Brooklyn neighborhood my apt was in, it was fun contrasting that with the hipsterfy-ing neighborhood area right next door

The not-rich Brooklyn neighborhood I lived in was solidly middle class and safe, there was a Macy's and a Starbucks and a shopping district, old timers would complain it wasn't all I-talian which was fun, I guess it was people like me from the Midwest going to school causing that change originally-

But when rent prices next door suddenly went up to $5000 bucks it was a bunch of weirdly out of shape bearded oddly dressed fixed gear bike riders and their plastic frame glasses suspenders girlfriends smirking weirdly who were paying for it. Like there was a factory churning them out somewhere.

Other millennial non-hipsters watched confused. A bunch of jersey shore-ish locals into weightlifting who grew up in the area would get angry as beardy mcglassestattooneck gave them attitude and really awkward imbalanced shoving matches would break out. I saw a guy (in a newsboy cap and suspenders) get out of his car and break a plastic shower curtain rod over a much larger guys head one day over a parking spot

Imagine Lena Dunham and J-Wow screaming at each other in a coffee shop and Lena Dunham somehow winning

I knew a guy who introduced himself to strangers with "I earn $200k a year" which he did, for one year, before quitting his job to go to a friend's start up without pay

His fiancé said she earned $100k+ on her dating profile when they met; what she meant was "my parents bought me a $60k lexis once and give me spending cash, I don't work, my parents are spooky and ethnic and controlling, dating me means dating my dad p much"

He thought she'd support him futzing around on his laptop at home and she thought the same

They ended up with zero actual income in a small horrible apt having fights on Facebook

Have any biologists or sociologists looked into this phenomenon of millennial males having no external genitalia? There may be a Nobel Prize, there.

This current weenie dude trend will go out of style, as will 20 year old girls dressing like 1940's grandmas. There will be holdouts who keep dressing like this for years and years who just don't realize it isn't what's cool anymore and will look confused as people laugh

re: the FREEFORM channel
I fully expect every show to be interrupted by #hashtags on the screen so we can tweet the correct hashtags for the correct "epic" dramatic reveal in the "white 30 year olds playing supernatural high schoolers" shows. Maybe even a scroller with the best tweets selected by their social media "crew" (inept interns) because millenial becomers have to multitask and can't possibly enjoy a show without their phone out.
