    just someone using the term to mean “young people”

    Rude. How dare they stop using “Millennial” to mean “young people”. They weren’t supposed to recognize that some of us are in our 40s now!

          Oh sure but they don’t call us young anymore and it hurts our souls to see our life failing to do anything before us.
