It is of particular interest to examine from within the birth cohort known as “Millennials” how stereotypical messages and stigma about their generation have a perceived impact on their lives. Cohort-based stereotypes may be more impactful than the traditional age-related stereotypes because they tend to be long-lasting and members continue to be associated with them (Arnett, 2013; Trzesniewski et al., 2014). In order to gain ethnographic perspective about the possible impacts, this qualitative study examined the following questions: How do adults (with the birth year 1981-1996) experience the stigma associated with the social media messages used to describe the Millennial Generation? What effects, if any, has this propensity to stereotype “Millennials” had in the lives of adults defined as “Millennials”? A few main concepts ground the conceptual framework of this research and the IPA analysis of the study, namely, stigma, stereotype internalization and stereotype embodiment. Perspective gathered from Millennial Generation Adults (MGAs) suggests that disparaging media discourse used to describe them has been reflected in their interactions with employers, family members and general public from the generation before and after them. As expected, these negative impressions have impacted their work environment, decision making and perspective of self and others in their generation. Contrary to expectations, Millennial Generation Adults (MGAs) tend to blame themselves, rather than others, for the consequences related to this stigma. The aim of this research is to open the dialogue of public perception and present new knowledge to consider about the contributing factors to the current trends among the Millennial Generation Adults (MGAs). This dissertation, titled “Me, My Selfie and I” is a qualitative investigation presented in filmic modality to emphasize the precedent that media messages are impactful in shaping public opinion.
