Boomers are 35-50?
Apparently anyone over 35 is now a boomer.

Getting really stoned and trolling the AOL chat rooms was always fun.

I'm the opposite. I love reading shite like that! It's actually refreshing to read real conversations that I had back in the day before social media and before everything was so damn PC. People were brutally honest at times and didn't give a shite about what they said.
I will say that there are lots of things in my logs that would get someone cancelled in todays culture.

AIM wasn't a boomer thing

I ended up going to the prom of a guy I met in an AOL chat room in 1997. The internet was mostly nerds back then (myself included).
In hindsight, 16 year old me shouldn’t have given my home address to a random stranger whose picture I hadn’t even seen, but he turned out to be normal.

A lot of Boomers still use their AOL email addresses.

Dude, that's Gen-X game, not Boomers.
And AOL was for the computer illiterate. Even back then I knew that it sucked.

That was pretty much a Gen X thing really. Great tool to use in the office to clandestinely talk to cute coworkers.

It allowed me, a nerd, to talk to the girls from school on there first and made talking in person the first time easy. Thanks AOL.

No. Boomers were 46-64. Gen X is 65-83. Millennials are 84-02. Gen Z is 03 until this year. Zillennials are a subgroup at the end of the Millennials from 99-02.
But I have a hard time grouping any 80s baby with any 90s baby. They really don’t remember anything pre-internet.

Tell you what AOL had that I really enjoyed back in the day, and that was chat rooms. Those were fun, especially the college football chats during games. Lots and lots of shite talking going on.

I was born in the summer of 83 but I consider myself a millennial.

Yeah I'm '89 & barely remember pre-internet. It was out but I was too young to know the difference. By the time I was old enough we had dial up and the rest was history.
*all I mean is you can't group say, '85 w/ '89.

SmarterChild tried to warn us all of the things to come, but we didn't listen.

I never used AOL for some reason. I did meet a cute Southern Miss girl on Yahoo chat rooms when I was maybe a JR in college. She was from Hammond and we'd hang out when she was home from school. First and only time I've ever met anyone online
