Someone asked if we had Napster. Of course not.

We invented Napster. But yeah, before that, we experienced the magic of paying $15 for 10-12 songs

Some of us probably bought that music a third time on iTunes.

Nah, I just converted all of my CD's into MP3.

Never did ecstasy though. Curious to see what all the fuss is about.

It was worth it. The shite they have now is weaker.

I still don't know what generation I fall in.

You're Generation Strumpet. You cross all lines and break all ties.

Strumpet

That's a vastly underused word.

I'm just going to sit back and watch the world burn after the Boomers are done fricking it up.

I believe Gen Z are current Jr. High and High Schoolers, possibly some college underclassmen.

Gen Z I think are people in college currently. 1992 I think is the magic year that separates our generations. This social justice warrior shite wasn't around when I was in college 10 years ago. All my generation liked doing was to get high and say "frick the rich".

This one is cut from a different cloth. They are entirely self loathing and wants everyone to hate their lives just as much as they do. They want to feel like victims at any given turn. That's not how my generation thought, and these kids need to be kicked in the balls repeatably every time they say "check your privilege" or "cisgendered" or "heteropatriarchy". This is a generation that needs to smoke more weed and chill the frick out.

quote:

Damn, you Millennials sound old and bitter.

---

How am I bitter? All those terms I just described are bitter from them and wish to make me bitter. My response to them is "frick you" and then go about my merry day without letting them intimidate me.

Nope the cut off is around 2000 or a couple years after - those self loathing college fricks are still your generation of millenials.

No they're not. The generations are getting shorter. Here's a hypothetical for you: I guarantee that someone who was born in 1985 and is 30 could get along with someone born in 1970 better than 15 years later with a 30 year old born in 2000 having a conversation with someone born in 1985. Complex scenario, I know, but there is such a sharp divide in thought between people born in 1981 than 2000.

Gen X. Born in 1967. OP is pretty accurate, although I was fortunate to have fallen into an age range that never was called to military duty.

Same age.

I was born in 1984 and my wife was born in 1978. Been married a little over 3 years. We like the same music and movies from the '80s and early '90s, we had similar childhoods in terms of what we did for entertainment and how accessible people and information were, and we have the same outlook on life.

I tried dating women who were younger than me - born in the late 80's very early 90s. I couldn't connect with them. The ways they interacted, what they expected, their reliance on their parents and lack of independence as people, their insistence on goofy stuff like skyping... oversharing on Facebook, being super-big "joiners". There's just a divide there. After a few dates or a few months their millennial traits inevitably just got annoying.

I don't have the same issue with women I have dated who were my same age or older. But move a few years beyond 1984 and it's like they're totally different people.

My wife and I are cynics. We're not joiners. We aren't on Facebook. We never Skype of Facetime or whatever it is called. We remember a world before the internet - our whole childhoods! We didn't have cell phones until college. We played outside with our siblings instead of being shut-ins. It's amazing how much of a difference background can make in whether or not you can get along with someone. Millineal women... I just... little in common is all I can say.

It's a nice deviation from overused terms like harlot and wench.
