I agree, but millennials have no power, there's the potential that what they've done (while being tracked and recorded every moment of their lives) could be used to blacklist the entire generation by zombie boomers and their xer children. They've already come of age during a ruined economy, this could just be another strike. Xers will live long enough that they could skip most of the millennials in favor of their kids, who may take their parents' experiences as a cautionary tale and be more careful and contrived about their public faces (I think there's ample evidence of this wariness.)
Millennials are on the cusp of displacing Boomers as the dominant power in society, bypassing Gen X completely (as it was always clear would be the case.)

Boomers' children are often Millenials, just as plenty of Gen X have Silent Generation parents. But, in any case, no, there's not, because Millenials are increasingly the ones running the show.

When they wouldn't have had much even if it was a good economy; meanwhile, GenX got wiped out mid-career by it, and Boomers facing retirement.
Sucks for everyone, but I'm not convinced it sucks worse for Millenials.

Except Xers will never be the dominant political, economic, or social power group, at best being #2 behind Millenials once the Boomers die off sufficiently.
Of course they are. They're also an absurdly tracked and recorded generation, all of their cultural idols and most of their work supervisors are Gen X, and the people who own the companies that employ them and manufacture everything they buy are Boomers.
Their kids are also up to 20 years old, and are more polished online than they were; they were born being judged for what they posted, and knowing that everyone at school would see it.
