Twitter outraged over ‘offensive’ new label ‘geriatric millennials’

Is this the new “OK, boomer?”

An article referring to older millennials as “geriatric” has sparked a backlash among 30-somethings on Twitter, who’ve deemed the label inaccurate and “ageist.” The problematic moniker was first dropped in the recent Medium piece entitled: “Why the Hybrid Workforce of the Future Depends on the ‘Geriatric Millennial.'” Author Erica Dhawan coined the term to describe people born in the early 1980s, who are considered too old to be a regular millennial but still younger than any Gen Xers. This generationally homeless age group is often referred to as “cuspers” or “xenials,” the Independent reported.
