#2This opinion piece started off promisingly, but by the end, I lost track of what point the author was trying to make. Truly, did they merely offer retorts to the people quoted in the referenced WaPo article?
I was expecting an analysis like the first couple paragraphs foreshadowed, not just a 'yeah, well, these people are quirky, but they may have a point here or there'. Does anyone feel the same?

There used to be a Gen Y in the middle there but it disappeared.

#5Some may have observed the increasingly dysfunctional relationships of their parents' generation and decided to opt out.

We were. Then people realized "Gen X" was insanely broad, and they split us off into "Gen Y", which never stuck because that was one of the stupidest names ever conceived.
Then it's like none of that ever happened and we're part of the generation who has never known life without the Internet and still don't know what Hammer Pants are.
Don't worry, it's not supposed to make sense. It'll all get redefined again before we're 50.

#7The article should emphasize one little important detail. This is written about millennials in USA. Which only represents 1/10(?) of all millennials out there. If you take everyone (around the world) into account this conclusion might turn upside down. But to this article's point - Career obsessed, medication and anxiety infused young generation in america - somehow I am not surprised.

I usually see 1985-2005 ish as the defining birth years of "millennials"

#10Methinks that this may be because millenials are the first generation with ready universal access to unlimited Internet porn, which only really started in the mid 2000s with the emergence of the tube sites and everyone getting a smartphone.
Over at reddit.com/r/nofap (debatably NSFW) there is actually a non-religious backlash to the whole thing, essentially saying that the key to improving every aspect of one's life is giving up porn.
