Millennials were the most wild generation
The portrayal of core age millennial youth in the early 2000's getting into the hard drugs and party lifestyle as early as 12-13 actually was well documented. Not saying thr movie wasn't exaggerated but it wasn't too far off either...
Apart from the super religious and suburban towns most millennials were out of control in their youth. And it reflects in their adult years (most of them are failures). The children of millennials (gen alpha) are showing signs of the lowest literacy rate and are out of control themselves.
Millennials were nuts. Their poor kids.
