Things Millennial Guys Love

i say we take off and nuke the planet from orbit

i don't love any of this stuff :-(

kate upton seems like a likable enough person.

am hostile or indifferent to all this stuff except DFW

that's who i ended up voting for

bow ties just make me think of george will

kate upton was . . . up there though

I voted for texting the letter k

k

mad pride 4 this generation, we did it we the best

too old for this generation, too young for the last, just gonna hang out here and condescend to all of these things

being a millennial has nothing to do w/ your age, it's a state of mind

welcome to millenia the island of millenials

i like bow ties

and I cannot lie

mansplaining bitcoins

Added both of those words to my spellcheck just now.

absolutely mansplaining bitcoins

"These Boots"? did Nancy Sinatra make a comeback?

this is a really flattering list, actually.

redtube

1. xvideos 2. xhamster 3. tube8 4. pornhub 5. nudevista (aggregator)

kate upton seems like a likable enough person.

she seems stupid as hell

every dude is brewing his own beer as if you can't get this stuff at the store already

dylannn OTM!

xposts (about the list being pretty flattering to millennial guys)

Louis CK and The Wire will be awesome no matter how many douchebags fall in love with them.

Feel like Alison Brie (or Alison Brie GIFs) would be more appropriate for the list than Upton.

this is a really good list

i wear american apparel v-necks (not tri blend tho - organic)

i find it flattering to imagine my millenial peers as boat shoe-wearing dudes in raybans and jorts, reading infinite jest but i don't identify with any of the things on the list or they're not a part of my everyday life in any way.

feel like this list is more of a "things millenials getting degrees in computer science like"

I would hate to live in a place where this would be a really good list.

what's the list in your part of town?

k

feel like this one's a little more otm

i don't love any of this stuff :-(

I have no idea what a lot of this stuff is :-((((

I hate how auto capitalizing makes my texts into a too-formal "K"

"here's a list of some bougie-ass shit"

DFW is more of a gen x fave imo

i guess it goes without saying because y'know buzzfeed but it's funny to see an entire generation represented by its white collegiate members. like yeahhhh kid cudi and childish gambino are the most popular rappers among teens and twentysomethings in general, right.

but that's the way it's always been

Gen X likes infinite jest, millenials like whichever essays are short & available for free online.pdf

xxxp tbf haven't "boomers" and "gen x" and "millenials" and etc etc etc basically ONLY ever really been a representation of an affluent, educated white middle class?

it's true.

again you guys are making the mistake of assuming that being a millennial has anything to do w/ age

if you are a 65 y/o poor Hispanic man but you watch nickelodeon reruns on youtube and you are wearing jorts and a bow tie, you are a millenial

if you're a middle class 40something southeast asian guy
beatin off to redtube in your raybans
you're a millenial

we are the most inclusive generation in history.

that article about "how to work with millenials" posted earlier was stupid and unfunny until #6. until then it was such a subtle satire of generational stereotypes that i didn't see the satire at all.

life do-overs are the ultimate fanfiction

life do-overs are an important part of sonic fanfiction

I wonder if James Frey is into sonic the hedgehog

the key thing is that if you are a millenial your favorite character is tails and if you are gen x you like knuckles

only problem w/ life do-overs is that it contradicts yolo

Texting the letter 'k'

K? K what? the letter before L, the letter after J? Did you know that in "JK" K stands for Kidding? So your reply is "kidding"? Or K as potassium? So you need some Special K in breakfast? K, as in i can K/O you? Can i knock you out and feed you to hungry sharks? Sharks has K in it.

that image was so unfunny that i felt the compulsion to type it out

I need the following list items explained (mansplained?) to me in further detail b4 i cast my vote
1. "Fantasy sports teams for sports they would never play" -- would never play as in would never play in the majors? or wouldn't play w/ friends?
2. "Going to EDM shows so they can quasi-ironically grind" -- i have no idea

sonic fan fiction is popular among all age groups, even the last scragglers from the lost generation. it's not a generational thing. xp

the 2nd is the only one that seems to have any pathos so i am tempted to vote for it

I think people should have the right to read and write fanfic but anyone reading longform writing in 2013 is immediately suspect

I think anyone who types the word fanfic should be put in jail.

(jails waterface)

I am a millennial cop

(*hangs out in jail, composes symphony about my plight entirely on jail drums*)

you remind me of avon barksdale

i support boat shoes, ray bans & jorts (good summer outfit imo)
i like game of thrones
i want to like david foster wallace
i want to play bioshock infinite
i half want to watch the wire and louis ck, but won't
beer brewing sounds cool, but i quit drinking
sonic the hedgehog is fucking awesome
and i'm sure kate upton is a wonderful human being

going with jorts. gen x battle flag.

Avon had a playstation in jail but there was an astonishing lack of video game references in the wire.

you sound like a millenial to me, contenderizer. welcome to the club. xp

actually everytime someone in the wire mentioned 'the game' they were talking about sonic

sonic recognize sonic

I don't know who Kid Cudi is, but he sounds too cuddly for me.

I can't read any of that

www.cnn.com/2013/07/09/opinion/bors-millenial-comic-strip/index.html

they love illegible infographics, crüt

I just mean tinypic made that pic so small it is literally unreadable

Especially if you are a millenial with computer eye strain related visual impairment

i thought millenials were sincere and generation x were sarcastic?

Here's my theory.

Generation X grew up in an essentially sincere culture and tried to distinguish themselves by being sarcastic and ironic. Millennials grew up in an essentially sarcastic/ironic culture and tried to distinguish themselves by being sincere.

However, Gen Xers underestimate how deeply sincere they themselves really are, and Millennials underestimate how deeply ironic they themselves really are.

xps i disagree, it is legible and readable just the way it is, award trophy to inphographic

That makes sense Josefa. Although, David Foster Wallace was gen x (late bloomer technically) and he was very concerned with trying to live sincerely in an ironic culture.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I can't even tell if I belong to Gen X or Y. I do like a few things on that list.

But if what Josefa says is true, there seems to be a power struggle between the minority that tried to distinguish themselves from whatever, call it, Culture A was and those who represented or promoted Culture A. So, Culture A could be Sincere Culture or Ironic Culture.

So, unfortunately, it sounds too meta for me. I don't think it is accurate to talk about how Culture A in Society A represented A-Qualities while its people were trying to have B-Qualities. If they were 'trying' that means they failed because Culture/Society A had A-Qualities, but if they succeeded in having B-Qualities, yet at the same time Culture/Society A had A-Qualities, then they were only a subculture/minority, and can hardly be seen as representative.

I'm not saying minorities can never be representative of a culture (I know it's happened in the past), but I don't think it would be accurate to say this occurred for English-speaking Gen X'ers or Y'ers.

Oh, having said all that, I voted for David Foster Wallace, mainly because my friends and I started a reading group to discuss Infinite Jest. So out of of the few things on that list that I like/do, I feel I committed to that the most.

I text "k" sometimes, though, but holding that as representative, significant or even relevant to any culture seems really silly to me. I guess the fact it is included on the list makes the person who compiled it feeding into that predefined/prejudiced Millennial attitude people want to cast on the Millennial generation. It's like people are constructing the Myth of the Millennial People right in front of our eyes and fiction/prejudice distorts reality, so it confuses everyone until finally some of the shit sticks to the wall.

some of the shit sticks to your jorts

i dunno how old jessica misener is but i think this is less ugh millennials and more ugh boys. which is much more defensible obv.

between dfw, k, and raybans for me.

"Things people who aren't stuck in a world of Seinfeld DVDs love"

some of the shit sticks to your jorts

Are you speaking from experience? Maybe you're a Millennial?

*unwantingly, I should add to the ass comment.

My eternal love of Seinfeld is like a reassuring beacon that I'm too old for this Millennial stuff.

i'm too busy mainsplaining bitcoins to watch seinfeld most of the time

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Going to EDM shows so they can quasi-ironically grind

What's this?

Public harassment justified through ironic distance.
