Young journalist Alexis Bloomer has a message for her fellow millennials and it’s one many won’t want to hear. Alexis wants her fellow 20 somethings to “pull their pants up” and start actually contributing to society instead of lazing around and posting social media updates as if that was activism.
Bloomer also has a message to the older generations: “I’m Sorry,” she says. Sorry for the many failings of her arrogant generation.
The journalist said she decided to assess her generation. “As a millennial, I decided to take it upon myself to try to evaluate what’s so wrong with our generation and why they’re so mad at us,” she said on her video posted to Youtube.
But as she looked over her generation she realized that some of the harshest criticism of millennials probably has a lot of validity to it.
“We’re just existing, we’re not really contributing anything to society,” she insisted and then went on to lay out all the accusations against her generation.
“Our generation doesn’t have the basic manners that include no ma’am and yes ma’am,” Bloomer said. “We don’t even hold the door open for ladies much less our elders anymore.”
In an attack on rap music, Bloomer also critical the “really obscene music” millennials listen to “that degrades women and pretty much glorifies drugs and crime.”
“We idolize people like Kim Kardashian and then we shame people like Tim Tebow,” Bloomer continued. “We’re lazy. We’re really entitled. And we want to make a lot of money have free education but we’re not really willing to put in the work.”
Alexis has a ton more to say about the failures and solutions for the millennials that many will applaud. But it is a harsh message for her fellows. We can only hope many listen and take it to heart.
