Every time someone says we’re a lazy and entitled generation I’m going to show them this

They should be happy most of us haven’t moved to the moon yet

That actually sounds like a good idea at this point

“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of  how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

I scored a 20%

0-25%: #EpicFail.
You probably don’t know what that means. Let’s just say it’s not so swell, Daddy-o.

26-50%: Like the Fresh Prince said, sometimes parents just don’t understand
You appear to have some millennial tendencies, but it likely embarrasses people when you rap.

51-75%: Baller, but not quite shot caller
Not every millennial believes cupcakes are worth waiting in line for. At least you don’t pay for a landline anymore.

76-100%: OMG WTF YOU ARE RIDONKS MILLENNIAL
Nailed it. Joel Stein even wrote a cover story featuring you, which should help with that affirmation you desire so badly.

I don’t know about you guys, but being a millennial, I found this quiz highly offensive. Especially since I don’t behave at all like in the questions they were asking. That’s clearly reflective in my score. Hey Joel Stein, stop being an asshole to my generation.

Yes, we are technologically more invested then previous generations, but that’s because we grew up in a time when technology was more advanced, and we had the means and the opportunity to be more technologically involved. Just because social media sites and the next new gadget are important to my generation, doesn’t mean that were damaged in any way. You are generalizing and blaming an entire generation.

Read this article. Tom Hawking does a way better job of ranting about the injustices of Joel Stein’s article then I ever could.

This quiz of course is a means to garner more attention for the article on the “ME” generation. Putting aside this fact, the quiz was geared to have leading and compound questions that you had to answer leaning more toward the Millennial side. Not to mention many questions based on privilege but let me not go there. I admit, I haven’t read the Time’s article  in question because I would like to save myself the headache right before a new semester of University. I really don’t have any inclination to read it for enjoyment; although I may read it purely for stimulating some conversations in my anthropology course. 

The amount of backlash surrounding this article( and the cover connected to it) is interesting and it is good that tumblr is vocalizing their frustration. But we can’t stop at frustration, we have to find other articles that dig deeper into facts and don’t focus on one experience of being a (and here come the scare quotes again) “millennial” and then generalize based on that experience. We need to show that: there are multiple experiences and multiple perspective; that some of it comes from our exposure to different technology and some of it comes from the residual ideals from our preceding generations; and we cannot be typecast into this role that does not truly represent us.

My, isn’t it awkward that you just fuckin recycled a nearly 40 year old article to shit on this latest generation?

Recession. Student debt. Etc. Lots of people smarter than me have already had some excellent commentary on this (here and here and  here not to mention all the great Tumblr commentary).

But I do want to say:

Of all the images you could have picked, you chose one of a teenage girl taking a selfie.

Because of course, girls who have been taught nothing else by their elders except that their appearance is what matters are the reason we are all lazy and narcissistic.

Fuck off. You fucking made us. You raised me and my sister and my female cousin and millions and millions of girls to be self-conscious and obsessed with making ourselves look pleasing to men. You taught us that that was our only worth. And now you shit on us for it.

FUCK OFF, TIME.
