Dear Baby Boomers, Millennials Don't Suck

These type of &quot;Millennials don&#x27;t suck&quot; counter-rants would mean more if they weren&#x27;t only coming from Millennials. People without any or much &quot;real world&quot; life experience don&#x27;t realize just how valuable and eye-opening that experience is [until of course they have it, and by then they&#x27;re knocking the next generation].<p>A common anecdote among rebuttals from Millennials is the whole wearing a suit to an interview. I&#x27;m wondering if the people who say &quot;they should judge me for who I am, not what I wear&quot; dress up for a first date? Or when going to a friend&#x27;s wedding? Dinner at a fancy restaurant? A family member&#x27;s funeral?<p>Especially ironic about this counter-rant was the ending: <i>Oh and remember how you said the internet was stupid when it first came out and now you can’t function without email?</i> - does the author really not realize it was Baby Boomers who created the Internet and Web? If he doesn&#x27;t want Baby Boomers knocking Millennials based on the behavior of <i>some</i> of them then maybe he shouldn&#x27;t be so quick to assume all Baby Boomers had the same thoughts regarding the Internet.
