Boomers looking right through you like you aren't there is a different psychological damage than Boomers putting Millennials under a microscope and constantly enumerating their flaws I guess

The Millennial experience definitely involves people older than us being weirdly needy at us throughout our childhood "Your destiny is to fulfill the prophecy and bring about the new era"

Oh man You know the initial embryo of the idea for A Very Potter Musical was them vaguely wanting to do a serious drama about a millennial whose childhood revolved around Harry Potter fandom and whose real life ends up being a disappointing tragedy

The funny thing is they already knew this kind of thing gets really self indulgent really fast so they didn't do it It's what Hagrid is a joke about in A Very Potter Senior Year
