Yes, you just need a way to navigate though it.

I see Mark Cousins a bit in Edinburgh.

The last time I saw him he was wearing cycling shorts and looked like a total twat

I watched The Big Combo (1955) on YouTube yesterday evening. Great, great film noir.

When 18-24 years old, esp. German public TV showed such pics often. Then I enjoyed the swift pace, the atmosphere, the good vs. evil thing, in a rather naïve way. It goes with that age.

Now it was different. Actually I was more impressed with the ugliness and sleaziness of the world of crime then I was way back then. Appalling, and the creeps torturing the police lieutenant with loud noises was such an effective scene - more repulsive than many expressions of explicit violence in modern movies, IMHO.

Perhaps this stuff is too simple, or technically deficient, or 'old' as in 'uninteresting' for millenials?

Are there millenials who read real and difficult literature for pleasure?

What is it with that peculiar age bracket?

Are they on drugs all of the time?

"Millennial" is marketing-speak astrology masquerading as social analysis. Fuck it.

"Millennial" doesn't really mean anything. If you look it up some will define it as people born in the '80s, others as people born around the turn of the century... bollocks to it.

:D

Actually, you are spot on!

A millenial is, however the age bracket, someone who:

1. suffers from 'fear of commitment', not present in any real diagnosis. It just means: I want to stay forever young, I don't want to make lasting promises to another person, and modern science will assist me in staying always attractive (plastic surgery, multivitamins, the gym), and forever fantasizing about what might have been, if not my parents had all these, er..., 'issues' of themselves

2. suffers from 'the stress that comes with having to choose, to select which smartphone, which designer garbage, and which barista they should spend truckloads of money on, and put themselves in insolvable debts for the rest of their mortal lives for'

Which both are despicable lies to oneself. No one chooses his or her parents, and no one can claim that life is unliveable without mad shopping sprees.

Millennials will be 50 years of age, when the finally realize that climate change won't allow them to become 60. But their emotional stagnation leads to exteme denial, and cognitive dissonance. So they will purchase a Fender Telecaster and a music kit, they will become members of some vague commune, and they will play the whole of Hotel California, at one of their pagan rituals.
On the whole, I'd rather be in Wallenpaupack.

Different definitions (Its probably like 'hipster' - it means whatever you want it to mean) -- but I read it as born after 1980 (Gen X being the previous generation)
