When the Boomers die, you won't have anyone to take care of you any more.
So I am set and I did it with alot of help from Mom and Dad

I have come to learn if you voice your opinion and you were born from 1967-1981 it is called making a statement. If you voice your opinion and were born from 1982-1995 you are a whining pussy.Posted on 5/13/16 at 12:14 pm to lsupride87

It's great to know that you're capable of learning. Keep at it.

What is being said in this thread isn't an opinion though so there's that.

Meh. It's a great outlet to interact with like-minded people amidst all this Millennial silliness.

Do yall treat Millenials like black people circa 1960? Like if I came around would you make me sit in a separate part of the restaurant?
I personally dont even think about someones generation and judge them on an individual level.

Ive been thinking this, what would all these frickers do if we did just say frick it? Just quit our jobs, stop paying taxes. They would be begging for us to go back to work.

I'm a millenial. This makes not one iota of difference in my life.. I don't really understand why everyone cares so much about this stuff. 65 year old cavemen were probably complaining about the young cavemen back in the day, just like boomers complain about the current generation, just like when I'm old I'm going to complain about the following generations. You get old, you fail to understand the culture and ideals of younger people. It's natural. It happens. I'm only 27 but I already find myself mystified by some of the things I see from the younger generations.
The landscape of our country will always change from one generation to the next, and people hate change. Just because things are different than when you grew up doesn't mean they're any worse; it means values have changed and the other generation looks at the world differently than you did. It's all just the ebb and flow of life.

Proud gen xer here, born in 69. 
Someone asked if we had Napster. Of course not. We bought music as records (albums) then later recorded them onto cassette tapes to jam out in your car. The a few years later, we bought that same music a second time on CD, because the brand new CD player was the standard in high fidelity sound. Some of us probably bought that music a third time on iTunes.
As for music on TV, we watched Friday Night Videos which came on after the 10 o'clock news. Prior to that, all we had was Don Kirschner's Rock Concert to see concert footage of Journey and Kiss.
It is by the grace of God that I was born in a generation of non-complainers, who among many things, bore witness to clean rap music and appreciated pubic hair on a woman.
Never did ecstasy though. Curious to see what all the fuss is about.

It's worth a try. The kids call it molly now instead of X. I had a high school friend who had it FedExed up from Houston after they made it illegal. We used to go over to Dallas and hit the bars on Elm Street. You could get it at the bar with your drink at that time. Of course we were using badly made fake id's to get in.

I still don't know what generation I fall in. Every one of these things I read has different years. I'm either one of the youngest Gen Xers or the oldest Millenials ... either way, I sure did love Oregon Trail Day at school.

See, Gen X had an entire day at school where every thing you did resulted in dying of dysentery, drowning fording a river, getting shot by Indians, starving to death, freezing to death, etc. and learning that life is hard and usually ends poorly.
Millennials get participation trophies.
That's all you need to know.

It's probably not that but the fact that these young kids are just completely wrong about almost everything

So the fact that fizzled after many years of successful production turns it into a bust?
The .Com was great for anybody who knew what they were doing. Those Domain names are incredible lucrative to those who registered it.

Didn't generation x have napster???
I'm on the younger end of X and Napster wasn't around until my early 20s. A lot of X was already in their 30s. By "when it mattered" I'm assuming he means high school/college age.
Also, a lot of people my age still didn't have a computer in 99. Our parents had them, but among my friends, unless you were a gamer or something, most of us didn't have them when we first moved out. I didn't buy one until 2004, just didn't have a need before then.
