Technically I'm a millennial, but it's for the reasons above that I do not identify as such.
Lots of millenials had those things especially dial up and car windows that you had to roll down so yeah you're still a millennial

a pager (getting one as a teen was a rite of passage)
a phone that attached to the wall
dial up where you had to disconnect to make a phone call
car windows that roll down by hand
talking to your crush on AOL chat
sitting in the front seat at 4 years old because car seats were for literal babies
a camera not attached to a cell phone
a cell phone that only made calls and didn't have caller id
a walk man and a disc man
*except the bold. i don't think i was ever in the front seat that young.

Black and White tv
Metal fans with very little guarding
5 foot long wooden stereo cabinet with 8 track and record player
TV in a wooden box and the channels go up to 13. After so many years, they came up with a spin knob that went on top of the tv and it went up to 26
Rotary phone
anthing more than 2 channels on that 13 dial on tv
Something they use that I didn't back then:
A/C
electronic games

Asbestos, lead paint, driving without a seat belt, smoking in restaurants, centerfolds in Playboy and attention spans.

As expected this thread is filled with things many millennials commonly used because those posters think millennials are still about college aged

That's how I self taught myself to type. Those typing classes in middle school did nothing. AIM certainly did though.

The UHF went from 14 to the 60's. The problem was, if you didn't life near huge tv markets, there was nothing on those channels.
Only thing you could catch in the Houma area was 38 out of New Orleans, lots of T&A movies on the weekends, plus Morgus the Magnificent

Y'all do know that millennials are typically in the early 30s now, right?
I have a 32 year old son, as far as he remembers he has never seen a B&W TV, and has no idea what TV guide magazine is, or was.

When the tv guide is wrong I would get furious

Playing 'Smear the Queer'
Born in 1987, played this all the time with my neighborhood pals growing up in the 90s and as a teen in the early-00s.

I'm 32 as well and I used TV Guide Magazine all the time. My parents had a subscription and so did my grandparents.

Look at Ritchie Rich over there, with your color TVs and no need for a TV Guide. Did your butler read and recite the programming schedule on command?
I'm slightly older and still remember both of those things. My family barely owned a TV and couldn't afford a subscription to TV Guide, yet I remember both of those things from some point of my life.

Also what is this thread for? To show how old some of you are? Because we're all going to get older and people are going to be born every day and eventually find their way here. If this message board is still around in 10 years, will you still be on here bitching about how things were so much simpler 40-50 years earlier?

Bunch of fricking boomers in here. How old do y'all think millennials are. I've seen and used all of that.

Born in 91. Game was played every day before practice. Nobody gave a shite, just wanted to see a hard hit. You would get one every now and then and of course the parents/us went nuts.
