I'm not sure if this has any standing, but it makes me think about what I know about Millenials and Baby Boomers just as people. I know nowadays there's a lot of mentally ill youth, and they have a fear of making people feel bad or being a burden, they are people pleasers. On the other hand, the adults in our lives say things like "you're welcome" which has a tendency to make the person who was helped feel some level of guilt. Even if people are not mentally ill, I think every young person has had that feeling of guilt put into them, and so they go out of their way to make sure no one else feels guilty for being helped and to point out that it was not a problem at all in the most genuine way possible. I think it is just genuinely a trend in younger generations that they always fear being some sort of burdens. So, they tend to downplay things they need help with and downplay the good deeds they do. This is great modesty, but it is also quite harmful in some ways. Either way, neither generation has a better way of looking at these things, but they both have their positives and their trade offs. I think Millenials' use of "no problem" as simply a result of being raised by Baby Boomers and their response to this mindset that they've been given.

Speaking of linguistics, there’s one particular linguistic tick that I think clearly separates Baby Boomers from Millennials: how we reply when someone says “thank you.”

You almost never hear a Millennial say “you’re welcome.” At least not when someone thanks them. It just isn’t done. Not because Millenials are ingrates lacking all manners, but because the polite response is “No problem.” Millennials only use “you’re welcome” sarcastically when they haven’t been thanked or when something has been taken from/done to them without their consent. It’s a phrase that’s used to point out someone else’s rudeness. A Millenial would typically be fairly uncomfortable saying “you’re welcome” as an acknowledgement of genuine thanks because the phrase is only ever used disengenuously.

Baby Boomers, however, get really miffed if someone says “no problem” in response to being thanked. From their perspective, saying “no problem” means that whatever they’re thanking someone for was in fact a problem, but the other person did it anyway as a personal favor. To them “You’re welcome” is the standard polite response.

“You’re welcome” means to Millennials what “no problem” means to Baby Boomers, and vice versa.The two phrases have converse meanings to the different age sets. I’m not sure exactly where this line gets drawn, but it’s somewhere in the middle of Gen X. This is a real pain in the ass if you work in customer service because everyone thinks that everyone else is being rude when they’re really being polite in their own language.

When my friend was a kid she used put on high heels and practice running around and jumping off stuff because Catwoman could do it. Now she can practically sprint in stilettos. Like…I’ve seen her chase after animals and run up hills and climb shit with 0% hindrance, and I will forever and always admire the hell out of her for it because when asked to choose between practicality and fashion she literally just chose “no be Catwoman” instead, and for some reason that actually worked.
