    That’s just misapplying an academic definition in a colloquial circumstance, which happens a lot in various disciplines. It’s like the “what is a vegetable” question: it means different things to a botanist, chef, and tax collector.

      Ah, the American Millennial: the generation that could’ve led us toward utopia if they cared more about actions than words.

      (yes I see the whole academic definitions thing as a specifically Millennial trait)

        So just dismiss everything the person tried to explain to you, because you’ve decided, with absolutely no proof that they’re millennial? The fuck is wrong with you?
