Millennials Are Too Clever for Mindless Consumerism
We have heard the jokes and seen the articles for long enough, endless headlines all saying variations of the same outdated view that millennials are lazy. Since the start, our generation has been considered careless and mindless, unbothered by anything that doesn’t include social media or sitting down. Being the generation that saw the birth of social media, it is considered our partner in carelessness. Yet little consideration is given to the fact that social media is a factor in the creation of an increasingly liberal and politically active body. You can call us lazy, but millennials are powerful, and here’s some news, we’ve grown too clever for mindless consumerism, forcing producers to become more ethical, more inclusive, and more liberal if they want our money.
