Both of your parents were divorced? Wow. Don't see that very often.

Oh no. Next you'll be telling me that they were dropping the dreaded N word in Friday. No wonder comedy is dead.

For one, who thinks it's OK to record AND broadcast a masturbating teenage girl (unawares) on the internet? For all of the "groomer" nonsense polluting these boards, it's ironic a lot of yall seem to be OK with a violation like this.
It certainly isn't ethical behavior and that scene obviously plays a lot differently now but at the time, the idea of streaming video that well was fantastical. Even a few years later I would still be waiting on the Hallie Berry screenshot from Swordfish to load on AOL.
In a way, that scene is both true to the characters in that movie and prophetic. For the next decade, dudes would be sharing nudes girls sent them on reddit, group chats and text messages. Of course, dudes were going to watch the stream.
Ultimately the guy is the butt of the joke in that scene. He doesn't go unpunished for his actions.

For a lot of the millennial generation they would’ve had to have kids in their very early 20s or even teens for them to be close in age to those kids mentioned in the OP. Not sure how that’s a strike against anyone unless you think it’s smart to have kids at 20ish.
i'm 39 and have a 16 and 13 year old (2007 and 2009, so i guess they're very young gen z.)
i relish the fact that i had kids that young. i'll be 44 when my youngest is out of the house. i didn't have a ton of money or "traditional" fun in my 20s, but i loved being a dad in the prime of my life.
my kids are exceptionally based as well, despite my best efforts. to the degree where i have to tell them to settle it down, even when they're joking. they also have a greatly more diverse friendgroup than i grew up with.

Those girls probably live in S.F.
So triggered by a silly movie.
From Gen X Porkys to Millennial Pie, yeah teenagers wanna have sex.
Uh, they're horny teenagers not little adults with a full-time job and 5 kids.
What the frick do teenagers know about love? Its hormone.
Butt Gen Zers seem more oblivious and obtuse to not acknowledging that truth. They're special and progressively so unique little snowflakes. When its all an act.

a somewhat humorous anecdote about time and place of something along the lines of humor and "streaming a girl masturbating."
in 2001 i was a sr in HS and was with a group of guys hanging out.
a polaroid of some girls in our class who stupidly took a picture of themselves topless in a hot tub surfaced. again, i was jesusy, but not mother teresa and saw it. didn't like the whole thing though and felt sketch.
one of our friends had a new thing where they could scan a picture and then etch it on tshirts. they thought it would be hilarious to put it on undershirts and wear them to school. i said this is a bad idea and left.
next monday all the guys are acting the fool and wearing undershirts. the idiots did it.
word gets out and we all get called into the principal. my friends immediately say i had nothing to do with it. so then i get pulled out and put in the rat trap and they try to ask whose idea this was. i say, i don't know, they were being dumb and i had no idea because i left.
they all got minimal detention and slap on the wrist. the parents of the boys nor girls were not informed and the shirts and picture were collected and destroyed. the girls were 16-18.
in 2001 in west Texas, that was boys will be boys behavior. no harm, no foul, don't do it again.
looking back in hind sight, holy shite that was distribution of child ponography that i dodged.

This whole movie is completely ridiculous, especially how the only thing the male characters care about is having sex.

I don’t know if that was realistic when the film came out, but I think men treat women with a lot more respect and equality now,” said 16-year-old Taylor.
That's low testosterone right there. Young Taylor is gonna be a friend-zoned, high soy cuck of a doormat from now until he decides to start wearing makeup.

18-year-old Olivia agreed with Taylor in her scathing review of American Pie, which hit theaters back in 1999 and spawned an entire franchise of films:
“It’s bordering on incel attitudes the way the guys in this film think that they deserve sex, and how they seem to think that’s all women are good for rather than wanting a loving relationship with somebody they respect. I think if you were a teenage boy watching this you’d basically feel entitled to behave however you wanted to towards women.”
They talk like this about a film like American Pie, and in the same breath, describe shows like Euphoria as groundbreaking, or awesome.

I am a few years younger than you, my high school required laptops so shite would get passed around. For instance, a guy wrote a long love letter to a girl that was very creepy. She sent it around to her friends, and within hours, the entire school was reading it. The guy had to transfer.
A girl's nudes were sent around on the school's email server. Her dad, in hindsight very reasonably, wanted to murder every guy in the school. He was a lawyer and threaten to get the cops involved on child porn charges. I am not sure what the school did to talk him off the ledge. The main guy who sent them around got in a lot of shite for it but not kicked out of school.
I received and sent it as well, not my proudest moment. It got swept under the rug because my teammate who was our headmaster/defensive coordinator's golden boy also sent it to a few people. Had it just been me, I think the reaction would have been different. Our head coach pulled us in told us to list everyone we sent it to, told us to delete it all, and had us met him at the stairs after practice for a few weeks.
I rather have gotten the detention that the rest of the school got but my parents never formally found out so that was a plus. I assume they figured it out when I would come back home covered in puke after practice.

That is not true. Millennial started in 85. Per several large research organizations I follow

Way late. If you go that late you have to create a legit transition generation Xennial from about 77-84, people who were in high school or college when the internet really hit.

Why do you guys still fall for articles like this?
They are purposely having them trash these movies b/c they know it will piss off people who love them and generate clicks.

That is incorrect. Millennials go from 1981-1996. Those has long been the widely held dates.

Not even close to overreaching definition by "scholars" of Gen X.
They span it over 20 years...1965-1985. Equivalent to the timeframe of two World Wars.
Gen X is...quite simply, were you born in the 70s and grew up with Atari.

I was working in education handing out laptops (and trying stop them from looking at porn on them) to kids when 1:1 was a new fangled thing. Around 2010 google started giving emails to kids in schools and as the security and network guy, I objected and said “you know they’re just going to use these to send nudes of each other right?” The entire admin looked at me like I was a child predator pervert for even thinking of that.
1 week. 1 week into school year and I have to do a report and archiving on guys circulating a nude of one of their girlfriends.

A few years?
sir, I remember getting on the internet and hoping the computer lab lady didn’t catch us going to playboy.com and Whitehouse.com over a t1 line.
A few years?
eta: i could be being harsh for the sake of humor. i graduated in 2002. if you had a laptop and email address i couldn't imagine you having have graduated before 2010 at the earliest. i could be off and you had a progressive wealthy district at the time.
i guess this is where the whole debate on millennial/genx/xennial and their starting date comes into play.
say you're class of 2010 and i'm just 8 years older than you. my experience with technology and the world in that 8 years is wildly different to where the idea of giving kids laptops (or the fact that laptops/wireless would exist) and district having their own email server for kids was not even something we knew to think could happen some day.
8 years later I was giving kids laptops and running a wireless network.

Yes it is. Gen X ends w/Carter. Always has. The next generation is called Millennials b/c they came of age during the turn of the millennium. People who graduated high school in 2000 are part of the millennial generation.
