Many of us Millennials tend to tune out praise for a different reason, we have been given constant praise so much that we no longer know what is genuine and what is BS.
There is also a regional cultural element to it, too. Here in the Upper Midwest excessive praise is looked down on except of cases of people genuinely "going above and beyond the call of duty" because of our tendency towards self-effacing humility, "Oh, you don't need to praise me, I was just doing what one is supposed to do!".
