So I’m going to assume that you also believe that “Millennial” as a pejorative term never had anything to do with the Millennial generation.

32·2 months agoThe company name is so interesting to me, there is probably some justification/origin that makes sense for it. But Malus is just so close to Malice…and thats just so appropriate, in an evil billionaire sort of way.

The joke may have merit, all generations have their lingo but it does seem to have gotten extra meme-ish as of late, but the labels are all wrong. Millennials are the old ones, the meme language speaker should be labeled as Z (which came after millennials) or Alpha (came after Z, born 2010-2025.)


Point is flying right over your head. Current, updated, slang usage does not address your patently incorrect assertion that it never refered to the baby boomer generation. It became a pejorative as part of referring exactly to that generation and then was expanded and generalized to older people. Exactly the same way Millennial commentary started out pointed at exactly that generation and then became generalized to a rolling window of “those young people”. Even though the actual millennials are in their early 40s and late 30s now.
