                      1. This is aside the main point, but I think this piece also spotlights what defines a Millennial in general... medium.com/@girlziplocked/if-you-were-a-leftist-teenager-during-the-iraq-war-you-were-gaslit-24-7-by-everyone-1179a34589b9#.dnigqf9r6

                      ...You're a Millennial if you were old enough to have political opinions after 9/11, but not adult enough to be fully confident in them.

                    Chronotope So: if you don't remember where you were during 9/11 or you were deep into your career at the time, you prob aren't a Millennial

                  Which hits on two things that I think this piece misses: 1. you didn't have to be a leftist teenager to feel that way, the right did too.

                Much of the young right's distrust of establishment media and politicians also prob came from the same feeling of being lied to post-9/11

              The left-middle and centrists really bullshitted us all, and every young person on all levels of the political spectrum felt it.

            It's worth noting that much of the modern young right stands in opposition to their own party establishment, this is partly why.

          2nd thing is that this was hugely amplified not just if you were a women but also any flavor of non-white-and-Christian.

        As a Jew I always found it notable how Israel politics fractured the young members of the community, more so as they got older.

      Though the 2 sides divide on what they think the reality is, the one thing everyone young was sure of was that they were being lied to.

    I really hadn't thought a lot about how this feeling, often unverbalized, drives so many people in my age group. But it is there.

      It arguably also drives some of startup culture, an unwillingness to go along with the old structures.

        Revelatory to think about things through this lens. I guess other generations also went through periods of establishment distrust?

          The wave in post-9/11 feels different though.
