Millennials: The So-Called Entitled Generation

Millennials: The So-Called Entitled Generation is an informative book on one of the world’s most controversial generations. The author, Delano Perry, a millennial himself, details the everyday challenges of being considered entitled and narcissistic. He sheds light on many questionable labels and stereotypes in a world where many of the older millennials do not consider themselves millennials and are often confused about the age range of the millennials. They tend to attack younger millennials while members of the older generations criticize them as well.This book explores many of the issues that millennials face such as being known as the broken or lost generation due to the financial setbacks that were caused in the midst of the Great Recession; massive amounts of student debt; and how they have abandoned many of the old ways of thinking about religion, marriage, education, and company structure. Millennials explores how they are one of the most depressed, addicted, and unhealthiest generations despite being so young and vibrant.Much of the work was written based on firsthand experiences and research conducted by Perry. The goal is to not only educate those from different generations of the stereotypes and misinformation but also the millennials themselves, especially those who are thirty and older. The writing is controversial and biased at times but still informative and firm in a world where the word “millennial” has become somewhat of an offensive term. We must begin to shed like on the fact that this is a group of young people who have spent the last decade on an uphill battle with themselves, society, and the economy.
