ABSTRACT
As spiritual children of the Creative Class, the Millenials (those born after 1982 and with university education) are taking their ideas of societal liberalism and diversity to the next level, often adding new elements of radicalism, with a somewhat paradoxical intolerance to non-progressive ideas. But most importantly, because they have entered the job market in and after 2008, they have found it difficult to find their place in society, and most of them are now frustrated with their life, as their income and status do not correspond to their original aspirations. They have joined the ranks of principally (but not only) left-wing campaigns, among them those of Alexis Tsipras’ Syriza, Jeremy Corbyn’s alternative Labourv (think the Momentum movement), or Beppe Brillo’s Movimento Cinque Stelle.
