Learn the difference, grandpa.
you sound about as mature as the 13YO you described.
maybe that's why boomers think of you as they do.

Are you telling him to get you a cold beer because you’re too old and decrepit to get up yourself and get you one?

millennial is no longer a generation, it’s a mental state

I'd say the picture is pretty accurate, from a mentality standpoint.

I wonder if "floyd of pink" is saying to herself, "How did this go SO wrong for me?"

Right.
Kinda like how for the last 5 years, people across the board have called high schoolers and college kids millennials even though nearly all millennials were above college aged at that time.
Hell, we have several early 30s guys on here who shite on millennials because they think they're somehow gen x. Even more guys who love to shite on millennials in some weird boomer brown nosing because "I'm not that kind of millennial, I'm cool!"
Organizing by generation has a ton of uses for studying society, but like so much in today's society, it's just become identity politics. People just use them to act like they're better than other people or to shite on others. It's completely just a "my team is better than your team" thing. It's really odd.

Man, two beers before 8:30 on a Monday. You boomers sure do hate your livers!
No worries, I do the same in a duck blind.

Why the hell os there so much animosity between the generations on this site? I really don’t get it. Do people hate their parents/children that much now?
It’s just a weird thing that goes on with TD. I’ve never seen a real life argument about any of this

Yes. Exactly like that
I already acknowledged that occurs a couple posts up.
Millennials are older than everyone thinks they are and so are boomers

If you honestly believe that I thought I could post this without getting shite on and receiving tons of downvotes, you really are senile.
Also, calling me a she is so boomer of you. I’m sure you were chuckling in your wrinkly fingers as you typed that out with both index fingers.

Every millennial stereotype applies firmly to 32 year olds

The millennials that are over 32 are a world away from the ones that were too young to understand 9/11.
This. People born in the late 70s and early 80s are not millennials by any descriptor. They're different generation and they share nothing in common with millennials. People like to just lump them in there because they like to start it nice round figures like 1980.
People born between about 1977 - 1984 are considered a cusp generation. They pretty much exist between every major generation because Generations don't just cut off. It's a transition. That generation is called the MTV generation, the Oregon Trail generation or the XY cusp generation.
People born in this generation lived a childhood of both analog and digital. Millennials only grew up with digital. XY cuspers head record players, cassette tapes, CDs and then MP3s. They also had rotary dial phones, touch-tone phones and then didn't get cell phones until they were out of high school for the most part.
Gen X grew up solidly in an analog world before the digital revolution and the internet. Millennials grew up solidly in a digital world and knew nothing of analog life. XY cuspers grew up through the change so they have perspective on both.
Also, raising kids was a lot different during that time period. Cuspers still rode their bikes to their friends houses and we were told to come home before the lights came on. Cuspers were the last of the latchkey kids before safety and helicopter parenting became a thing.
