    “Millennial” seems to be increasingly used less to name a generation and more to describe a life stage. You millennial for a bit in your twenties, some people millennial longer, graduation criteria are a bit hazy but clearly no millennial is married with kids and a mortgage, etc.

        This raises the intriguing possibility that there may be boomer millennials or people who might become millennials depending on how the economy goes in the next 12 months.

        this is something only boomers say/think, they see millennials as kids who don't have their life together, who refuse to or incapable of adulting. it's a derogatory term they retract once a millennial owns a house and has kids millennials ourselves know we remain millennials

        I'm a fan of the "millennials on campus are trying to get tenure" framework.

        They did the same thing with GenX until they got bored and moved on to the next generation to complain about, at which point the GenX concept settled down to a regular demographic category again.
