"Millennial" is too cool a word for the concept it describes.

Like, if I knew nothing of the context, I would expect a "Millennial" to be some kind of magical spirit who only comes around once every 1000 years. Or maybe a magical immortal person who's just hit their 1000th birthday.

Not...some broke college kids who grew up during the George W. Bush presidency.

At first I hated the term because it reminded me too much of millenarian Christians

Are you telling me millennials aren't named after their favorite album, the Backstreet Boys' Millennium?

Actually, i am pretty cool

I remember Aliroz being annoyed because most people who use it are whining and "millennium" is a word that has very positive connotations for Mormons
