Where did the baby boomers go wrong on this retarded generation?

Didn't take them to worship on Sundays.
Didn't make them mow the lawn.
Didn't make them get summer jobs.
Let them play games on tv.
Didn't make them go outside to play.
Didn't feed them bologna and peanut butter.
Fed them pizza and Cokes.
Everyone got a trophy!

Is being born in 1981 a millennial? If it is, then I’m offended

pro tip: don't trust articles about surveys that don't include the questions

You are on the cusp so you can be either a Generation Xor a Millennial (some say 1980 is the cut off....some say early 80s)


Choose wisely

Being drafted into the military during Vietnam would be pretty stressful.

According to most people's definition of a millennial, yes you are. I was born in 1987 and have a little brother born in 1995. We are nearly complete opposites. When I personally think of the typical millennial, I think of people more his age.

All he ever did growing up was play video games; I played outdoors.
He got participation trophies; only the winners got trophies.
Etc, etc.

At least 6-8 of those are things that a third grader should be able to handle.
Losing keys, phone wallet etc. They've been babied too long.

I'm a prototypical Gen xer and am pretty damned close to eliminating all of those things from ever being an issue, much less a source of stress. Grow up bitches.

That’s right....the super special micro generation. Those born between 1977-1983

Yep, read an article where Depression among teens is at an all time high and its very concerning. They are all addicted to technology and when they don't get that dopamine hit, like when someone doesn't like their photo or post, or see a friend that has a better pic or experience posted, they get depressed. Its very sad They also said teen drug use and pregnancy is at a 20 year low, because they aren't socializing in person and leaving the house like we use to.


The kids who are in high school and college now are Gen Z. The distinction as I understand it is people who had part or all of their childhood before the internet was in every home vs those who never knew life before it.

Imagine if these adult babies had to go to bed at night under the threat of nuclear war.

this is why I don't think people born in the early 80s should be in the same generation as people born in the early to mid 90s

the 80s kids are the last generation to really know life before internet

the 90s kids really don't know life before internet
