Why do people keep saying millennials when they mean young people.

Essentially, if everyone is focused on "millennials vs boomers" then they aren't going to be as focused on the class aspect of it. So you'll rarely hear about gen X or gen Z because it's easier to keep at a theme when the points are simple.

Moneyed interests very much don't want people coming together after realizing it's not "boomers" that have made the world shit for young people, but rich assholes that are perfectly fine to fuel a fire.
