There’s a brilliant new meme that is allowing Millennials to vent their frustrations with the economy they’ve inherited. Meet Old Economy Steve, the man whom they wish they could trade places with.
The meme examines the vastly different economies which Millennials and their parents inherited by pairing statements regarding opportunities and advantages Baby Boomers had that no longer exist today with common criticisms levied at Millennials by Baby Boomers. The meme shows that many people fail to understand the economic challenges facing younger generations.
Have you encountered Old Economy Steve? He came of age around 1970-something, wears a blue-collared shirt, sports a feathered haircut and has an awkward smirk-like grin. Oh, and he’s the main character in a meme for frustrated Millennials — a generation facing a mountain of student loan debt and dire job prospects that TIME magazine recently called “lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow.”
It seems Millennials have a few things to say to condescending Baby Boomers and elders who have some out-of-touch ideas about what it’s like growing up in the 21st century’s economic climate. The Old Economy Steve meme is encircled by choice little phrases, like “Drives up federal deficit for 30 years… Hands the bill to his kids” and “Has it better than his parents… and his kids.”
