Millennial Martyr Syndrome (MMS) is a psychological condition where Millennials believe their generation has endured a uniquely difficult set of challenges.
MMS Symptoms: - Belief that no previous generation had it this bad (despite historical evidence). - Ritual invocation of student loans, 2008, unaffordable housing, and late-stage capitalism in everyday conversations. - Overuse of phrases like “we were promised” or “they told us.” - Smugness toward Gen Z or Gen Alpha for having it “easy.” - Hatred for Boomers
