Younger people tend to become more conservative as they age or at least that's been the trend with previous generations.

I’m prototypical Gen-X and due to a few Skenes balls, we have barely 3 and 4.5 yo boys. A primary earthly mission right now is to raise them as red neck gypsy hillbillies. Loving ones but tough.

That was 3.1. Windows 95 was on 2 CD’s.
Wiki said it was mostly on the CDs but I remember my dad doing it and the Librarian (IT for our district) doing it on lab machines with the floppies.

It’s my qualifier and not scientific, but I always say:
- if you started HS without the concept of owning a cell phone
- know what MSDos was and actually used it.
- remember the advent of Windows 95 and the 30 disks to load it.
-remember actual floppy floppy disks
- remember Baby Jessica in the well
- think communism is evil and were raised that way
- were taught Pluto was a planet
…then you’re probably not a millennial.
I might quibble with a couple of those, but regardless, I would be inclined to add
- Had to call Time & Temperature
- As a young adult/adult, knew the panic of seeing the browser open in your phone and being afraid you were about to get charged $10
- Remember text messages not existing, and then later being charged per message

As a gen x’er I think we get too much credit and not enough blame. We started the helicopter parent trend and travel ball insanity for starters.
Maybe we’re compensating since our boomer parents would just drunkenly tell us to go play in the street between puffs on their Marlboro.

1980 is definitely not Gen X. It’s millennial.
They more than likely have more in common with someone born in 1985 than someone born in 1975.
No I don't.

The children of Gen X are where the “Everyone Gets a Trophy” movement began.
Nope. Gen Xers witnessed their generation and maybe their younger siblings be confronted with that shite.
No way in hell my generation was having kids in sports the same time we saw it happening.
And it always seemed to be more prevalent in kids sports rather than the non-athletic things nerds got into.
But it’s always been the parents that valued the trophy more than the kids. I’ve never witnessed any younger generation who wants a participation trophy. Even these days, the phrase is simply used by older generations to disparage younger generations when they point out that organizations can do more to recognize accomplishments (something that is part of every leadership book).

You think travel ball started within the last 10-15 years?
What’s amazing to me is that this thread has nothing to do with sports, yet, somehow, the OT found a way to inject travel ball into a topic that’s not even close to what’s being discussed. Within 5 posts, no less.
I honestly don’t know who’s worse…the over the top travel ball parents that take it way too seriously or the posters here that have an unhealthy infatuation with kids that play ball.

Gen X: Our greatest strength is we don’t really give a sh**te and tend to just take whatever comes. It’s not that important.
