Another person hating on a generation he didnt help raise

My first car a Camaro got 8-9 miles to the gallon. Love those Boomer and Gen X engineers and their gas mileage

My brother had a Volvo that had a manual knob he had to turn to open his sun roof

Sorry we took standard definition television and gave you 4 going on 8k along with not only 13 channels but endless streaming content/entertainment options

Just cause you got nostalgia doesn't make it all better. Now sit back and enjoy the luxury of push to start cars bitch.

High beam headlight switch on the floor board of cars.

Millennial friend bought a restored 69 Camaro and noticed the switch on the floorboard. In his haste to figure out what is was for, he managed to push it through the floor in the on position! He had to put duct tape over the head lamps until he could get it to the shop and have it repaired.

More money than sense.

You confuse Millennial with Gen Z, very sad.

You do realize that many Millenials were born in the mid 80s to early 90s? They had all of that.

Your post is just as stupid. You think GenXers designed those Camaros?

You think Millennials developed hi-def television? Were they doing it when the oldest Millennials were 18 or so?

Why is it so hard to grasp the concept of a millennial? For as obsessed as you sound, you should know that some millennials like myself are almost 40 and grew up with everything you listed. Granted the TV in the living room was color, we still had 2 b&w TVs.

Words used to have meanings. Millenials are not high school or even college aged kids anymore.

Millennial here and I had all of those.

Why do old people try to act like growing up with different technology is something to brag about?

You know many millennials are damn near 40 and had those. ?



Boomers are so delusional when it comes to Millennials.

I'm 29 and had all of these.
