ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

millenials

Millenials are people born between the early 1980s and early 2000s. They are the largest living generation right now. Millenials often have different perspectives and values than other generations and view things differently. They have been accused of killing a lot of industries and trends, like the casual dining chain Applebee's. They prefer to spend their money on experiences like travel, rather than on physical items. Many millenials also prioritize technology in their daily lives and are comfortable using it to communicate, shop and make informed decisions.
