The biggest issue for Millenials is how the Baby Boomers - the people in front of them - are clogging up the natural flow of life. You go to school, get married, work, retire, etc. Boomers married late, had children late, will never 'retire' and so their children feel stuck.

Interesting tho how your friend's son admitted to some bad generational traits. LOL
My friend's son is a pretty interesting guy and typically has no issues admitting his own faults. One thing he complains about with Millenials is how they blow everything out of proportion. If something happens, it is the worst thing that has ever happened and everyone takes it up as their new pet cause. Then two weeks later it is forgotten and everyone is furious over something new.

There is a ton of Baby Boomer hate from Millenials. Spend a little time on Reddit and you will see it. Many of them are angry because, like you said, the Boomers are not retiring (part of that is because of the economic collapse killing their retirement funds) so they clog up the system. All these Millenials graduate college and can't find jobs in their chosen fields. It's a very interesting generational divide. I'm curious to see how it plays out over the next 10 years. As the Millenials continue to come of age and start voting, they will have a big impact on the direction our country goes in.
