Pictured: Millennials talking about the silly wizard power fantasy like it’s Shakespeare. Harry Potter truly is to Generation Y as Star Wars was to Generation X. It reminds them of a “better time” when they could remain ignorant of all the horrible things happening in the world (paid for by their tax money).
there’s a little bit to general trends if you map it against economic conditions or major events. There’s a difference between those of us who remember 9/11 and all the horseshit that came in the years after and those who don’t. or the challenger disaster, or whether you were entering the job market in 2009 or during covid lockdowns or how established your life was in the 90s former soviet union
That makes sense. I think I still have a kneejerk reaction to ‘millennials be like this’ because I got used to it being used to it being used to blame people for the economy
I feel bad for people who remember living in the fall of the Soviet Union. Must have been wild to live through your country getting burgerfied
