Millennials Cause Scientists to Raise the Age of Adulthood to 24
Adulthood used to begin after you finished college, if not high school. But, millennials gotta millennial (see Poll: 1-in-5 Millennials Think Very Highly of Communists… and Income Inequality? Millennials Spend Over $96 Billion on Food…). That's not to say they haven't made their mark, though.
