"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.

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

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
