Grandmas Rise Up Against Millennials’ “Grandma” Lifestyle

"Many senior citizens argue that being associated with millennials is detrimental to the credibility they’ve been cultivating for, quite literally, decades. Early yesterday, seniors across the country staged protests in their retirement communities, calling the trend downright offensive. At a rally in central Florida, one man, who declined to give his exact age, held a poster that read, “A # IS A POUND SIGN.” Grandparents are speaking out, disavowing any affiliation with the millennials who take daylong naps punctuated by brief scrolls through Twitter."
