Yeah we live and grew up in a pretty easy time. Someone's phone dying during the work day might very well be the worst thing to happen that day. I have a tablet, phone, and laptop for work and if one of those died right before a deadline, it would be awful.
Now saying that is more stressful than any other time is pretty selfish and stupid, but it falls in line with the stereotype of millennials where everything is the worst ever and I can't even. I take it with a grain of salt because hyperbole is a staple of this generation.

I think most of these reports are lazy in terms of reporting, specifically defining the 3 distinct generations that emerge from the population trends. Generation X (1964 -1978) coincides with a huge population dropoff at the end of the baby boom, generation Y (1978 - 1992) is actually larger than the baby boom with 72 million born just 14 years, and the millennials (born post 1992) are the smallest of all 3 generations when the birth rate fell below replacement level in late 1992.
Plus, as a nearly 40 year old member of generation Y, I don't appreciate being lumped in with effete, skinny jeans wearing hipsters that are 25 ~ 27 that most of my peers have nothing in common with and are completely different culturally.

I don't get what's so funny?
I'm 32 (millennial), my folks are mid-late 60s (boomers)
He's right.

People get these generations all mixed up:
Boomers = 1946-1964
Gen X = 1965-1983
Gen Y = 1984-2002
Gen Z = 2003-2021

20. Washing dishes
Who the frick stresses about washing dishes? Soap, water, scrub. It takes 5 min. Bunch of pussies.

AT LAST!!! Your lack of logic and inability to think critically explains your silly posts.

If we're trying to be consistent, 1990 - 1992 should be the cutoff to generation Y, according to the Social Security birth figures. That's the standard by which the baby boom is defined, not sure why the methodology goes out the window for everyone after.
The US birth rate plummets dramatically from 1990 - 1992, which coincides with the peak in US college applications in 2008 then the dramatic dropoff since.

I mean assuming waiting until at least 18, someone born in 65 could certainly have children born ANYWHERE from 84-02. Even someone born in 83 could have a child born in 2001 or 2002.
I mean, obviously not all of Y was parented by X, but clearly, a lot were. I was born in 67 and have a daughter born in 90.
Sheesh

Yes I was serious in saying people gave birth a year after their own birth.

The cut off for millennials is mid 90s. Mid 90s into the 2000s are gen z.
I'm not denying that older gen x people are parents to millennials. I'm saying boomers are the majority of parents to millennials.

You people can't make up your mind about shite. The years for boomers are now, and have been for decades, clearly defined. Why not for others?
It is stressing me out.

I'd imagine most millennials are children of the younger half of the boomers and the older half of X
Posted on 3/18/19 at 9:38 am to Geauxnoose
To be fair, I've got 2 of my older kids, 20 and almost 17. Their friends, and I work with many guys who are early 20s to mid 20s. I never really hear any of them complain about any of this type of stuff, especially the dumb stuff on that list. And I only know 1 who wears skinny jeans and he gets ragged pretty hard by all the other guys his age. Just saying, most of the young millennials I know don't fit the stereotype that's portrayed of them. But maybe that's just b/c I live in north La.

Millennials have never been defined as being born after 2000. It's called millennials because they grew up around the turn of the new millennium.

It's almost like boomers have lived a while life thus giving researches a vast amount of information from which to draw in order to group the generation together.
Most point to pew as the standard for generational age ranges, and they just set the millennial age range within the last year or two at 1981 to 1996.
