Blaming it on millennials W hen in doubt, find someone to take the flak. The government of India has whittled this troubling habit down to fine art and systematically managed to find scapegoats in unlikely places for its failures of policy. It was millennials, a while ago, who were supposedly responsible for why automobile sales were down. That comment did generate derision online, obviously, but also petered out quickly, presumably because millennials have now begun to accept that they will constantly be blamed for all kinds of things.
The catchphrase u2018 OK Boomeru2019 is particularly telling, given that it came into being as a response to what millennials the world over will recognise as familiar criticism. Apparently, an older man was to blame, for claiming u2014 with no proof whatsoever u2014 that millennials didnu2019t want to grow up and were stuck with utopian ideals that didnu2019t prepare them for adulthood.
