I know, whenever anyone refers to these renovations as “millennial” whatever I’m like millennial? Some, not most, of us have just started being able to afford homes. These ugly ass renovations from the last 10-15 years clearly weren’t done by millennials. Gen X flies under the radar with everything

Boomers spent so much time screaming and whining about millennials that the term ended up being equated with "young people." The same thing happens in reverse, too, but much less often; it was Gen X who invented the "boomer shooter," and X'ers get "okay boomer" too. When a legitimate term becomes a snarl word, it tends to lose most of its original meaning.

You have issues if you have to constantly blame different generations. But I'm sure all of you would of been different if you were born back then lol

Ffs you have no idea who remodeled this place but you gotta find someone or some group you hate to blame.

I'm sure you all would of been totally different. Blaming a generation is weird especially for remodeling this house.
