Well, we shouldn't be harsh, that's true.
But realize, just by pigeonholing someone as a "millenial" in the first place is an sweeping, unfair generality in itself.
So it's not "wrong" to make generalizations about their characteristics, in general, right?
Individuals clearly vary. So what if you were born around year 2000? Does that make you like everyone else? No.
Personally I think this whole marketing thing is total flim-flam. I know lots of people who are about 20-ish and, yes, they are a product of their environment, but they're clearly just young people who are trying to make their way around. I feel sorry for many of them, because they're getting abused by insane tuition, predatory lenders, a super-weak job market, and an unconscionable amount of unfunded liabilities they're on the hook for. What's more, the college profs are predators in more ways than you know.

I should take this off topic. Sorry.
