Source: Eva-Katalin / Getty Grant it, people are always giving Millennials crap just for being born during such a pivotal time in history. But when it comes to 2017, Gen Y attacked it like it was a racist troll on Twitter.

Also, as a millennial, I'm offended bc I was a corrections officer who aspired to be a police officer and, just to bring it home, a ranging hours store clerk who worked every holiday.

Despite the accolades, some possibly bitter baby boomers and Gen X’ers took to Twitter to exaggerate Millennial behavior with the hashtag #MillennialNewYearResolutions. Stop being roommates with mom #MillennialNewYearResolutions — Kirby (@LordKirby) December 17, 2017 Some of the tweets are pretty funny but age old Millenial question of “Am I really like this or are they hating?” also comes to mind. Hit the flip for more shady Millenial New Year’s tweets — as told by Baby Boomers and Gen X’ers.
