I was born in 90 and like 2 people at my school had smart phones senior year. Maybe the implication is post 93 they had smartphones throughout all of high school and it eroded their brains
I grew up in a weird buffer zone where I had a basically normal childhood and was still young enough to transition easily into technology as it progressed. I think it gave a lot of perspective
I was born in 85 and remember when only doctors drug dealers had cell phone and/or pagers. I got a Nokia cell phone with 200 minutes, no texting, no data plan (it wasn’t a thing) when I started driving at 16. I didn’t get real internet until I was a teenager and it was a 56k modem. Seeing 8 year olds now with iPhones (who exactly are they calling?) blows my mind
I think there’s a big divide b/t early to late 80s millennials and the rest of them. I don’t really feel like I grew up the same way. As kids, we weren’t playing Xbox live all day and making tic-tok videos. We left in the morning to play outside doing kid things in the neighborhood and came home for dinner. Looking at it now, our parents had no idea where we were half the time. They’d probably be viewed as negligent parents by today’s standards

I'm sure there are a bunch of early Xers with super late Millennial kids.
Gen X ended in 1980. The vast majority of Millenials parents are Gen X.

Gen X is 1965 to 1980, give or take. Average age of first childbirth at that time was around 22. So your earliest Gen X’ers were popping out their first millennial babies around 1987, almost halfway through the generation.
According to a Wikipedia citation to a book behind a paywall, most millennials are the children of Boomers, would would match what I’m saying. I cba to do anything more rigorous than that tonight

Let’s do some math.
Boomer’s 1946 to 1964
Gen X 1965 to 1980
Millennials 1981 to 1996
The oldest Gen X parent is around 56. If they had a kid at 18 that would make the kid 38.
The oldest boomer parent is 75. If they had a kid at 18 that would make the kid 56-57.

i think you grew up differently as well.
My dad had a cellphone starting in, I believe, around 1992. But he was/is a doctor and the thing was a brick. Most people did not have laptops back then. Most people didn’t have home computers for that matter. Things like cell phones and computers were luxuries not everyday items like they are now.

Look up “Xennials” or “the Oregon train generation”. We are an odd little micro generation, and it would save you some effort of explaining the in future

ding ding ding. female fertility (15yo-45yo) set the generational boundaries.
currently, few xers are making new babies, however, lennies like us are popping em out while we can still bake cakes.
and scatter in a few older Zers having babies now.
the data sets always have outliers. the young births and the old births are the generational phasers.

We could also discuss the fact that wages have stagnated our entire lives, but the boomers might strike over that one.
Yes, it's still totally possible to buy a house on one salary with two kids working at a factory.

Seems like too many people have that attitude regardless of generation.

Zoomers aren’t that bad.
Millennials suck pretty hard though.

Just coming here to comment I accidentally downvoted this but meant to upvote and can’t change it. Great f’n post though, frick the boomers. Literally everything handed to them on a silver platter. The boomers project their problems onto others worse than any other generation.

Born in 82, I guess technically I'm a millennial even though I was of age before the term was coined.
But there is a stark difference with people born in early 80s from people born mid to early 90s
