Are Millenials the worst and most unproductive gen?

You look back at past gens, and they produced so many giants, last year many died and world took notice. Alive or dead, past generations have produced more greats in movies, music, sports, politics etc than this gen ever will:

Muhammad Ali, Maradonna, George Michael, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Jean Claud Van Damme, Arnold Scharzenegger, Michael Hutchence, Michael Jackson, Prince, Queen, Freddie Mercury, Bono, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses, Tupac, Biggie, NWA

Compare those with the new stars: Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, mumble rappers...?

Some millenials are nearing almost 40, this gen hasn't produced much to replace the fading or the stars that are gone already.

Among the common folk, all I see from millenials is false nostalgia for an era they never lived in. 80s and 90s nostalgia is the hype now with companies and people trying to capture the old magic. Some do it succesfully while others fail miserably. This current longing for the past is far greater than people in the 80s and 90s looked back at the 50s or 60s.

Point is, this is the most unremarkable generation, the one after millenials is going to be even worse. You look back at past decades and they all stand out, not with the 00s or 10s. I dunno what will stand out of the past decade in 20-30 years. Both sports, music, movies, gaming have regressed.

Lol  so you're comparing several generations with only one, and basing your "analysis" in some famous people that you like... Some of the best sportmen and women are millenials (Phelps? Messi? Cristiano?) Citing Van Damme and Schwarzenegger as great actors is totally laughable...

 

You also don't consider the life and tech improvement we've achieved in the last decades. Finally,  you criticize millenials for false nostalgia when all your post is nothing more than a rose-tinted nostalgia look to the past... 

Sorry, but even if you consider Schwanegger, Van Damme and Stallone good actors there hasn't been very good substitutes for them in the newer actors... the type of movies they did aren't there anymore, so much that they had to do Mercenaries to have that type again
