Millennials are often viewed negatively, with people born between 1977 and 1994 blamed for everything from the decline of the napkin industry to the idea of vacation. However, many of these issues aren't actually their fault. Lazy writers often target millennials, blaming them for problems that have been building for decades. For example, the diamond market's downfall is attributed to millennials, rather than the intricate problems that have plagued the industry for over half a century.

Read on to discover the issues commonly attributed to millennials, despite not being their fault, and vote on the most egregious examples.
