As a zoomer. I'm seeing these millennials around me and I'm thinking "how the hell are you happy with your life?" Sure, they're able to afford the basic bills and some nice amenities, but that's it. They don't have good friends or partners, or a good connection with their parents because millennials are "rebellious" (in reality they're just conforming to the degenerate status quo). All they have is hedonistic crap.
This isn't millennial or even zoomer specific. The phenomenon you're looking to describe is rootless cosmopolitan. If you have a well paying job that permits you to engage in hedonism or buy a house, chances are you moved far from home and keep moving every few years. It annihilates your social circles each time and leaves you constantly scrambling for new friends and limits your ability to carefully pick a spouse over an extended courtship period. Hedonism is what you can carry with you.
The millennials I personally know have worked unfulfilling, boring jobs their entire lives and they brag about it. They speak about their job history with pride; "Look how busy I am! Working since I was 12!" But even when they have some sort of career path figured out, they're still living this hedonistic life with nothing going on.
People have always identified with their work. It creates your identity and purpose within the community. Contrary to doomer opinions, people need to work or they rot away. Old people lose their mental abilities not too long after they lose their purpose in life. Young people without jobs just rot in place and aimlessly stand around (or play video games) like jeets and other unemployed third worlders. Having a job you're proud of is an actual achievement that well adjusted people are eager to share because it establishes their value to the collective. Zoomers are still too young to have reached their stride as a generation. You'll find the generation splitting into failures and the successful soon enough, no different than the millennials before them.
The millennial girls I personally know love education like its the only purpose in their life. Chasing degree after degree while their parent complain, "where's our grandchildren?"
I know one millennial girl who finally decided to pursue full-time education while also doing part-time work. And she's doing great with grades and seems to be finding work related to her field. But its not like that fixed her life or granted her fulfillment. She's still incredibly neurotic to the point where she can't conduct any decision without Chatgpt or her mother consoling her. So mentally ill...
Women have always been obsessed with social status seeking. Millennial women were heavily propagandized into believing that getting
any college degree would confer status and importance to them. Consequently, a large chunk of this demographic is now saddled with college debt, a useless degree, and 10 years of wasted youth. Even if they find a job in their field, women aren't retarded and, while they won't publicly acknowledge it, are well aware of what was taken from them. Those missing years were supposed to have been spent building a relationship and establishing a home, things that are rather hard to do when you're career-maxxing. The older you get the more you realize a career is empty if you come home to an empty house or to a spouse you loathe. This emptiness is being filled with pets by millennials, but these things will always be inferior to healthy human relations.
And I know several millennial guys who can only afford rental apartments and have shitty relationships. Even the ones with "good" relationships don't have families and are busy-bodies with no time on their hands; replacing a proper family with a restless dog... And even when these guys tell me they're "fulfilled and happy" I can see in their eyes how tired and broken they are after working these shit jobs their entire life since childhood.
Dating is hard in a world where physical interactions were replaced by apps. Millennial, and now zoomer, men don't get a lot of choice with women. You take what's available to you and hope they're not too crazy. See prior, rootless cosmopolitans forced to career-max to get a non-shit job in the modern economy infested by H1B's, outsourcing, and DEI will get pets to fill the void that family and friends were supposed to fill. Unaffordable housing is a consequence of the 2-income trap and subsequent marriage rate collapse more than anything else. You live in a shoebox apartment because you have one income and are competing against old fucks and more socially successful people with 2 incomes. Also, buying a home doesn't make sense if you expect to move every 3 years to get a better job because it's the only way to get a real raise.
How do we get out of this cycle of discontent that the millenials have fallen into? I've learned from the older generation that majority of us zoomers, whether man or woman, will just become tired, delusional consumers who pretend they're happy and put together. What a dreary future.
Millennials are just products of their time and a society waging war against them. End all immigration. Deport immigrants. Banish all DEI advocates to Somalia. Kill degree bloat by changing college funding mechanisms. Kill dating apps and social media. Invest serious money and social capital into restoring in-person interactions via massive propaganda campaigns, community events, and nationalism.
