I'm 42 years young!

Five years older than me? Tell me, what was it like working by candlelight to invent electricity with only the warm sound of eight tracks to keep you steady at night? Was Millard Fillmore as awesome as people say? Did you prefer having a coffee with Oscar Wilde or Cleopatra?

Hey, we didn't all know cleopatra. Like you had to be in the right circles to hang out with her.

I will say though that Alexander Graham Bell was an absolute fucking hoot

At this point, I think millennials were scapegoated so hard as a generation that some boomers think it’s a synonym for young person.

I always thought our inexplicable youth was owed to all the Avocado toast we snarf down instead of buying houses.

Millennials is just the name for the group despised by Boomers, and Boomers is just the name for the group despised by Millennials. Otherwise, either term is completely meaningless.
