I'm 25 and my parents disciplined me as a kid, got my first job at 14 cause my mom told me that by then If I wanted something I had to pay for it myself. Almost everyone younger than me has every single thing paid for by their parents. This is why they never leave home. 10 year olds have cell phones, bad idea. Also, I love coffee and avocado, but not together, thats weird.
I have never had an energy drink in my life
Ever had tea?2 -

All my friends couldn't wait to get their driver's license on their 16th birthday, I know several Millennials who are in their 20s and can't drive.
Millennials also have the worst handwriting. My handwriting is terrible compared to most people of my generation, but most Millennials grew up writing everything on a screen and have handwriting like mine before I started grade school. And some can't even read handwriting - one of the things I do as a hobby is transcribe historical documents for NARA, and some of the young people I have encountered are shocked that I can read perfectly legible cursive handwriting, they have never learned.1 -

All true. My son just got his drivers lic at 17. I know I got mine on my birthday.
Also, they don't even teach handwriting anymore beyond the first few grades. Certainly not cursive. My boys can barely read it.

I would have stalked you, fantasized about you on steamy nights and made a lot of prank phone calls to you in my youth. You know. Before the internet even existed so it would have really been a chore. But I would have been 100% on board.
Right around this time they had those party phone in lines.
Those were just dumb, but that was early social media type thingys.

I'm not sure how important it is to be able to write it, but the loss of reading ability is a real tragedy. The other day I transcribed a letter from Sherman to Stanton which probably no one had laid eyes on in 150 years, it was buried in a file. Really thrilling to think that I was reading information that couldn't be found in a book anywhere. And now, today's generation will find those documents as inaccessible as if they were written in Latin.0 -

But millennials took the popularization of soy to a new level and fertility rates are simply plummeting, especially in the silicone valley corridor.
"Anyway, like I was sayin', soy is the fruit of our generation. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, soy-kabobs, soy creole, soy gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple soy, lemon soy, coconut soy, pepper soy, soy soup, soy stew, soy salad, soy and potatoes, soy burger, soy sandwich. That- that's about it."3 -

It's not the students' choice whether or not they're taught cursive, though.
It's not Millennials' fault that they aren't taught most of the things this thread has been complaining about!0 -

Neither was anyone else. Plus there is google now. Just saying.0 -
For me, I would say music. I do not understand the utter garbage that is on the radio now. No matter what genre, I just can’t get into it. I don’t watch award shows or New Year’s Eve shows or anything like that anymore. I actually find it embarrassing. Speaking of embarrassing, spelling skills are a thing of the past, for sure. It’s hard to even decipher what 99% of people on social media are even saying anymore.1

Yeah, good luck googling something in a filing box that hasn't seen daylight in 150 years. "Google it" is a perfect example of what I mean. You can only Google information that someone else has decided they wanted you to know, and put on the internet. If you want to learn new things, you have to go to where they are and learn them for yourself.1 -

Did you schoolteacher encourage you and your classmates to write in cursive, respect your elders, play amicably at recess without tattletaling and learn the metric system just in case there was a third world war and Europe won?
Well yes most of those
I went to catholic school for kindergarten to 8th grade well except 3rd grade, but yes I even had a penmanship class in 6th grade, it was like in a time warp lol0
