then what are some shows that were actually written by real Millennials?
Before the thread can even go anywhere I'll tell you the answer: there aren't any. Not any you've ever heard of at least. The closest thing you'll get is modern SNL. Go ahead and try to prove me wrong, if you can. Millennials just don't have any positions of power or authentic voices in popular television and film. Most everything "Millennial" you've ever seen on TV is from a Gen X or Boomer writer's perspective.
>>214363754I am so fucking insulted by the fact that you're making inferences about me when you will never in your life meet me. Do you understand howe fucking insulting that is? And you're not even going to apologize to me. It blows my mind.

I saw the millennial writing thread the other day and it's nice to see the correct consensus was reached that all of that is actually Xer writing. are fa/tv/irgins slowly getting smarter???

>>214363685The problem is the terminology used to describe this really bad writing is always loaded with baggage.Its "reddit" or its "millenial" or its "Joss Whedon" etc etcIt should instead be called what it is. Just saying its "bad" isn't enough, but also describing the way its insistently self-ironic and cringe isn't quite right or too wordy.

>>214364295>but also describing the way its insistently self-ironic and cringe isn't quite right or too wordy.People really can't comprehend words more complex than "bad" or "good" now and will lash out when you actually detail something.
>>214364365What the fuck, he was born in '89? I thought he was like twelve in 2017 or something. I don't really pay attention to this side of YouTube however.
>>21436457081 is mellenial.
>>214364657I'm pretty sure '82 is the first millennial year.
>>214364677Well that's wrong.
>>214364716I'm pretty sure it's right.
To be a Millennial you have to have been between 4 and 19 when the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2000. Any younger than 4 and you can't remember anything, any older than 19 and you're too old to properly have "come of age" in the time period it covers.
>>214364736I believe you. But it's not.

You can adjust the generation stereotypes one level down and they're accurate. So Boomers are actually the conservative conformists.Gen X'ers are the greedy corporate suits.Millennials are the dispassionate deconstructionsistsZoomers are the overly sensitive and irony soaked liberalsThe generational stereotype forms first from a small noteworthy minority that eventually becomes mainstream in the next generation. So it will actually be Gen Alpha that will see the real mainstream return to conservatism that Gen Z males have a reputation for.
>>214366009This 100%
Overall, real Millennial writing is a lot more acerbic and explicit than the reputation of "millennial writing" suggests. It's less Joss Whedon and more John Carpenter.
>>214364066another good example, and nothing like the stereotype
>>214363754This. At most, Millennials are writing and directing low-budget dramas and romantic comedies that get dumped on streaming services which hardly anyone ever watches. They seem to be locked out of bigger projects.
>>214364066La La Land too.
>>214366009>Zoomers >Overly sensitivelol wut, zoomers just want to play games and fuck around. The sensitive liberals are the middle and upper range millenials. First year zoomers like myself are also based because we got the last great time to be born in this planet when it was at a perfect balance of culture and technology.
Atlanta was written by all millennials
>>214365092No, the millennial generation started in 1982.
>>214366747this nigga thinks a gamecube was the perfect balance of culture and technology
>>214365294Lol this is fucking insane.
Gotta love the millennialcuck cope.>a-actually its not us! we would never produce abysmal writing that defines our entire generation! it was totally someone else!Boomers were wrong about almost everything, but they were right about one thing; millennials are the most pathetic generation to exist. Now they can't even take accountability for their dogshit.
>>214366840Jewish claws typed this post.
>>214365905All of Zach Cregger's movies are stock horror movies that aren't even worth discussing. They're the kind of thing you put on on Netflix when you have absolutely nothing else to do and then never think about them again. The fact that he was part of WKUK is the only think remarkable about his films. Jordan Peele is a more interesting director.
>>214366824Is water wet?
>>214364112Good catch!
>>21436411282 around is the end of GenX. Gerwig’s sensibility is definitely GenX, all her early work stinks of it.
>>214366814Why are you lying about something anyone can easily google?
>>214366856Correct
>>214366908>googleGoogle provides completely fictional information. The millennials were born from 1/1/1982-12/31/1996.
>>214366840We just proved that we're getting blamed for films that we didn't make and that the few we did make are better than your shit and you're just rejecting reality so that you can keep hating us. You know, it's fine for you to hate us without having any actual reasons. You can just admit that you hate us for nothing. It's not against the law.
>>214366942Oh okay I didn't know.
Actual Millennial directors:>Robert Eggers>Julia Ducournau>Xavier Dolan>Ari Aster>Ryan Coogler>Greta Gerwig>Damien Chazelle>Gia Coppola
>>214367020>Ari AsterThis one surprised me. That nigga looks way older than he is.
>>214364087THIS
>>214367020Some of the worst directors of all times
>>214367051Surprisingly he's one of the youngest directors there. Almost all of the millennial writer/directors are on the older end of the generation, younger millennials and Gen Z haven't really been given access to Hollywood.
>>214367020Wow that's awful.
>>214366009>Zoomers are the overly sensitive and irony soaked liberalsyou could say this same exact thing about Millennials and nobody would bat an eye. In fact, Millennials were the ones who made being an "irony soaked liberal" their entire personality. what the fuck does that have to do with zoomers whatsoever? Do you guys even understand the shit you're trying to talk about?
>>214363685>what are some shows that were actually written by real Millennials?none of them, the only millennials in wirters rooms are foids, faggots and chads and they're all retarded
>>214363685>Millennial writingIs this a meme I've missed?I take "millennial writing" to be behind some of the Tumblrier aspects of modern TV, but millennials would be the junior chumps on the staff and not necessarily creditedE.g. the famous scene from the most recent Taylor Sheridan slop, where Billy Bob Thornton's daughter tells him all about all the cum she eats: that's too weird and weirdly specific to be Sheridan, imo, and must have been a millennial intern(I don't think Sheridan writes much of what's credited to him, he's more an actor playing a writer these days)
Our boy is a millennial writer:
At least millennials can write. Gen Z can't do anything without generative AI. And Gen Alpha can't even read.
>>214363754>>214364245>>214364365I once looked thru DOBs of famous directors - someone on imdb made a list - and there's basically no notable directors born after 1975"good" millennial filmmakers you can pretty much count on one hand>Eggers>Safdies>Damian Cazadoreand you'll notice that they either haven't done much or are overratedIs it just that the old fucks like Clint Eastwood haven't retired and left an open spot on the ladder?
>>214363685If its anything like millennial youtubers, there would be a lot of baldness and unsolicited flow-breaking references to "puppers" and "doggos".
>>214367352xavier dolan blows all of these faggots out of the water and he's a literal canadian homosexual. You should watch more movies instead of browsing on the internet and reading about them
>>214363685Most to detour bugs keeps the day from breaking.Morning shines castle in a cave, new rooms ask alive out of his choices. She gets this as he goes. Returned to her husband. Sun above to warm when comfortable needs to be proven.Glass displays the world as he wants it, she touches it seeing selections as she selects. Ideas and standards she can raise, with him to want and earn, then give to her to preserve and perfect again. Her husband builds expectations of others. They make magic common, and the common make them magic. Granted and given, taken so, world is wonderful, ease into that as the past continues asks responsibility of them, loyalty to good known, more not asked for until it's assured. Certain sentiments, nicer than most, once upon a time standard, passed to persons, who fail to embody them absolutely, but the change is more scars than scare. Opposite didn't win. Another day still has a beating heart of rare fairytales, remaining copy maybe only in memory, recreated and heartfelt in more memories they and others will have. Lives plans. Correction that anticipates challenge. A light in darkness enough fair-y for a tale.

>>214363843This is probably the best example of "Millennialcore" writing in this thread despite the movie being about zoomers, and is a real honest look at that time in someones life.
>>214366009Nonsense, you're describing age brackets, not generationsBoomers are retired, hence conservativeGen X is running the show, hence suitsMillennials are coping and seething at not yet being successful, hence deconstructionZoomers are still young, hence sensitive (although I don't know that that well describes the generation)Generations do have distinct flavours that persist as they age, though circumstance leads to different expressione.g. Boomers are reckless, so in their teens and twenties they were rioters and terrorists, and in middle age they did hostile takeovers and sold all the factories to China, and in old age they're reversing mortgaging the ancestral home to finance a round-the-world cruiseat no point do they moderate their behaviour or maintain a diplomatic silence about their ghastlinessa boomer will rob you openly and then be confused that you're upset that he robbed youDifferent behaviour, same cause>inb4 NABALT: no, but the tendency is more pronounced in that generationGen X are priggish, so in youth it was "well actually..." and now in middle age, approaching retirement, they're the unassailable "experts"; once they retire they'll slip seamlessly into "back in my day" with more enthusiasm than Boomers do - Boomer grandparents are off playing golf instead of seeing their grandkids; Gen X grandparents will be around all the time, umm, excuse me, is that... Nestle-brand formula? Don't you know Nestle's history of exploitation in Africa? Hmm?Millennials are divorced from reality, in youth it was videogames, internet; in adulthood it's SSRIs, fictitious diseases, hence millennials have the most troonsI don't know about zoomers
>>214367409Never heard of that motherfucker>You should watch more moviesEvery single time, for the last ten or fifteen years, that someone says>oh, you've got to check out this film, this director... I know we're in the absolute nadir of cinema, the worst period since movies became good, but trust me, this one guy is somehow the exceptionit turns out that the person is an idiot with shit taste. But I suppose this time it'd be different?
>>214367352Eggers sucks. Kill yourself
>>214367735I mean he had his first film at the age of 19 debut at Cannes and so have all of the rest of them. If we're talking about "Millennial writing" and somehow you don't bring up/don't know who Xaiver Dolan is, despite him being one of the best examples of what "Millennial writing" would be, i don't even know what to tell you. No, i'm not saying go watch his movies. I'm just telling you that he mogs a redditor like Eggers who is a certified mcdonalds arthouse director compared to him.
>>214367675>Boomers are reckless, so in their teens and twenties they were rioters and terroristsI just came to say you are absolutely retarded and should kill yourself for the benefit of society and the species as a whole.

>>214363851I'm a millennial writer with a hit sketch comedy show written and pretty much ready to go, but nobody is knocking on my door about it and some people in my local shit hole flyover community have already gotten rich by controlling people's access to my writing folders.

>>214371848I should also mention that other people getting rich off my work and not compensating me for it is their attempt to make sure I can't get it made.

And most of the agents, managers, and producers I was dealing with were indeed Gen X'ers. I left the industry at that point.

Generational stuff, trying to pin down the subtle differencesBoth a Boomer and a Gen X-er would shut down the factory and ship the jobs to China, but would deal with the complaining workers differently. A Boomer would rug-pull the employees - one day they'd arrive to find the locks changed - and address the complaints to the minimal extent necessary, and in the most tone-deaf way, because he doesn't care, and once they're out of sight they're truly out of mind. He would film himself lighting a cigar with burning money, and then be surprised when people got upset. This has its upsides: he's selfish, but not malicious. It's truly nothing personal when he screws you. The Gen X-er meanwhile would tell the employees ahead of time that they were going to be sacked, and make them train their replacements, and make them attend a seminar wherein he explains at length why he was right to sack them and why they deserved it. (Such seminars are normal at Gen X-run companies, even when they don't sack you.)What a Millennial would do is unclear at this time, but in keeping with their tendency to unmoor from reality, I suppose they would delude themselves into thinking the company could survive without shutting down the factory. I note that real Millennial factory discourse is centred on "repatriation", but I can't say whether that's delusional. Millennials might also refuse, or be unable, to acknowledge the reality that not all foreigners are made equal, and it is one thing to ship the jobs to China and another to ship them to India. There's been a major uptick in Indian outsourcing in the last five years - is that because of Millennials? Is Millennial middle-management multiplying Modi's Millions?
generational classifications are so dumb to me. How am I suppossed to be in the same generation as someone who was 18 when I was a kid playing with Pokemon cards and gameboy and watching cartoons? We had entirely different formative experiences. Even the examples listed here were all older than 10 by 1998. Really prefer using 80's, 90's, 2000's, etc kid as a label instead. It's more immediately understandable.
