I think we Millennials are not victims but more obvious exhibitions of mankind's less appealing side and characteristics. People can say we're different from our parents, people can blame our affection for speediness on our parents and their 'award culture,' people can say we're spoiled, we're lazy, we're entitled.If we are victims of anything, it's time and environment.  Fundamentally, however,  we're no different from our parents because there exists in them the same potential and in all the people who like to blame Gen. X. Our faults are just elicited more easily by technology. Shame-ers can cover up "cracks" and overshadow their own faults, but the cracks remain, they're still there.  Sure, we may be terse with our experiences and the observations of the negativities in the world, speedily casting judgments and dramatically  crying absolutisms, but maybe we're succinct about brokenness, maybe we just see a need for authenticity. Maybe we just tired of going through a world of compromises and we're only being vocal about it. Nobody would willingly shortchange themselves and we don't want to in any scenario, whether it be in pleasure, reward, occupation or the martyr-esque defamation in the poem. The message in this poem is one of authenticity (for both millennials and Gen. Y-ers) as well perspective. We're all to blame.
