Most people are pretty clueless about Millennials. And while I don’t think anyone particular is to blame, I think that the images people use when talking about Gen-Y is part of the problem.

Does that image look like any Millennial you know? Maybe these are Millennials from the 80’s, which is fine. Except that they don’t look anything like Millennials NOW.
What about this image of Millennials?
Why does one kid look like he is 12? There are no 12 year old Millennials.
And my personal favorite…
Apparently all Millennials have a ton of piercings.
And my least favorite…
Millennials are not lazy. In fact, they are quite the opposite. So why does this photo make it look like all Millennials are lazy employees who don’t do anything at work?
Do you see what I am saying? The images of Millennials online are very very misleading, and they don’t represent the entire generation at all.
What do you think an image of Millennials should look like?
