Statements That Will Make Any Millennial Roll Their Eyes

1. "You live with your head in your phone."

A24 Films

It's true, but it's only because millennials can multitask. We're actually quite impressive, if you think about it.

2. "You're lazy."

Columbia Pictures

The worst is when they say it because you're always on your computer, but they just don't understand the concept of a "home office."

3. "You don't get how the world works."

Warner Bros.

For starters, it's not like it's that hard to get. And besides, the world is constantly changing and our generation has created a new working model. ;)

4. "In this life, you can't have a job doing what you enjoy."

Well, that's a myth that we've debunked.

5. "Millennials are narcissistic."

NBC

Yeah, we take a lot of selfies, but how does that affect you? Besides, it's actually kind of awesome that we have such high self esteem.

6. "You'll get cancer from heating everything up in the microwave."

MTV

Ooooookay.

7. "Creative jobs are not real jobs."

PBS

Please, even Bob Ross knows that you can make a living making ~art~. Oh, and see how you would like living in a world with no art, music, or anything even mildly creative. That's what the world would be like without us "creatives."

8. "Millennials are afraid of commitment."

Actually... no. Of course, there are some young people who dislike the idea of marriage, but there are others who are getting married (and others still who are fighting specifically for that right).

9. "You get offended by everything."

Universal Pictures

Yeah, when something's not right or just, we fight for that. We have a political conscience and we're proud of it.

10. "You don't think about your future."

E!

Okay, so maybe we're not the best at saving, but we do think about retirement and we are trying.

11. "You only want dogs and cats, but no actual human children."

Hey, some young people do want to have kids and have a family. But also, having a pet (even though many might say it's not the same thing), is a HUGE responsibility.

12. "At your age, I was already married, had kids, and had bought a house."

NBC

"Well, congratulations to you."

13. "All millennials are the same."

Fox

According to the experts, millennials include all those born within a twenty-year period... it's impossible for us all to be alike.

14. "You're not even a millennial."

Cassy Athena

THE WORST: Having to put up with people saying all of these things to you, and then someone comes along and tell you THIS.
