My theory is that millennials fresh out of college with marketing titles were hired by the usual genius MBAs to try to attract the people from said market. Unknowingly committing several mistakes: Millenials are the poorest generation alive, not all millenials are into this "progressive" bullshit and they think this is a harmless marketing effort with no chance of backfiring.
Another alternative theory is that this is a desperate brand trying to attract consumers in any possible way.

Same here. My team has had two 6 figure tech jobs open for more than 3 years now. I haven't had an interviewee in over a year who could explain the OSI model for me in an intellectual manner (not just from memory).
Millennials are making me worth more everyday. It's insane.

Yep. I see this all the time! Businesses trying to cater to millenials through their say their hip kale salad on Instagram when it people like my parents that are their real customer. Millenials will come once to flash it on Facebook where boomers will come over and over if they have a good experience.
