The Psychology of Millennials (1981-1996)

Описание: Millennials are often described as entitled, anxious, burnt out, nostalgic, and somehow responsible for both killing industries and inventing avocado toast. But what actually shaped the psychology of this generation?

In this video, we explore the psychology of millennials — the generation born roughly between 1981 and 1996 — and how growing up during rapid technological change, economic instability, and cultural shifts influenced the way they think, work, and relate to the world.

From the rise of the internet and social media to the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, millennials developed a unique psychological profile shaped by uncertainty, constant comparison, and the pressure to find meaning in work and identity. We'll look at the research behind millennial anxiety, why this generation values experiences over possessions, and why nostalgia seems to hit them particularly hard.

Are millennials really different from the generations before them, or are they simply responding to the world they inherited?

Let’s take a look at the psychology behind the most talked-about generation.
