I’d say it’s not that millennials are childish, it’s that most of the things older people consider signs of adulthood – homes, stable jobs, families – have been made miserable for them to obtain, so they’ve decided to spend their attention on other things.
I think some of it is also a response to the cognitive dissonance engendered when they hear their parents or grandparents first house cost a much smaller fraction of their total income compared to today, yet those same people keep insisting that they should be at the same point in their lives that they were back before wages were depressed for over 50 years. These days it actually feels like that’s a different reality

Get off my lawn, kids. Both of you.
In the past two decades, what I’ve heard most from that group is along the lines of, “I don’t know what they’re going to do. These costs are crazy.” Of course, those are the people whose children and grandchildren live at home with them, because they know they cannot afford to move out. I’m just glad that they all vote accordingly, trying to keep the forces of “the cruelty is the point” out of public office.
