20 Images Showing Why Millennials Hate Other Generations

Every generation faces its share of struggles, and it’s common to hear older generations comparing their hardships to those of younger ones, but there is one generation that has had arguably the toughest time, and we’ll tell you why. Millennials are a group in which the generation directly before, and the generation after are making more money than them. Comparatively, generation X had an easier time with the housing market, and the cost of living was generally more affordable. At the same time, gen z, who is the generation after millennials, is making more money because they are experts at the internet and using it to make money doing things like streaming and trading. In other words, the highest educated generation is the poorest, and they have something to say about it. Here are 20 photos showing why millennials hate other generations.
