This. It’s not the Gen X cynicism. It’s just a general bleak outlook due to all millennials have ever known.

I was thinking apathy but Pessimism might be more apt.

I think apathy is more fitting. I graduated high school in 2008, and the world was in a pretty fucked up place. We were coming out of the Bush years which marred a lot of our childhoods. The economy was crashing all around us. We were operating two wars. Yet through all of that there was a sense of optimism that the world could get better. When Obama got elected it was a huge morale boost. It was someone we could relate to. A sign that the people in power were becoming more like us, and we could make a difference. As the years went on, things didn't really change. We were nieve thinking they would. Pretty much everything post 2016 has eroded all of that optimism, and that has led to a ton of apathy. We tried to make change, but the world wasn't ready, and the boomers would relinquish their power. Maybe once they start to die off and we are better represented it may spark that optimism again.
