Hi there, It's me, 1998 GAF.

I don't know what the fuck I am either
I just don't want to be called a millennial

ur a millennial like the rest of us, jabroni.


I think the new generation begins sometime post 9/11 where kids grew up with youtube and a smartphone in their hand

You're like everyone else born in the waning years between one gen and the next. The bridge.

I was born in '98 and remember dial up, AOL, and even faint recollections of 9/11 (more side memories of being sad that I couldn't go to Navy Pier because everything shut down).

Also had a phone earlier than usual, and went to a school that integrated Ipads.

Still Gen Z.

Putting names to younger generations is done with the sole purpose of writing cheap magazine articles.

Don't mind it

Generations are vague and imprecise over-generalized groupings that change depending on who's considering it. There's no governing body that oversees what we are and it really doesn't matter I'd say. Not worth really worrying about too much. Every generational shift has a gray area and that's where we are.

I was 5 during 9/11 but remember it quite well and knew the seriousness of the situation at the time

I remember hearing all about the errors of the Bush Administration

The iPhone didn't exist until a little over halfway through my life so far

I think my father and his side of the family are quite bigoted and that has actually pushed me toward being progressively minded

These factors all seem to go against what "Gen Z" is so nah I think we're still millennials but at the very end of the cutoff point

* cranky millennial * Back in my day we squandered our existence chasing dank memes and buying avacado toast and we liked it that way! Both ways uphill in the snow!

You are the generation that makes new threads to complain about another thread still on the first page.

If you weren't old enough to be seeing Con Air and Face/Off when they were in theatres I'm going to have trouble relating to you.

Wait, so are you all telling me you don't remember anything before 1st grade? (6-7 years)

Because that's wild. I remember pre-nursery school even vaguely.

All of that at like 5 years old?

Seriously, what's with people counting stuff they have vague infant memories of the last vestiges of as some means of making them feel "older"?

If you were born in 1995-1997, I probably saw new pornography of your mother in the "18-19" category.

I think we’re Millennials? I’m ‘96 here. I think the next generation starts post-9/11. We still dealt with the transition from and remember what it was like pre-9/11, though it’s marginal compared to people older than us. I think the culture shift caused directly and indirectly by 9/11 is a good divider.

I'm 29 and teach high school. I blew a kid's mind when I explained that cell phone rules during class were relatively new: when I was in school not that many people could afford one, or at least could afford one for their kids too. And that cells comfortably sitting in your pocket was THE cool thing (Razers!) when I was a senior.
