LOL.

Reminds me of people born in '86 posting on FB about being an "80s child" and always waxing nostalgic about the 80s.

"Like if you remember jamming out to 'Summer of '69'!" -JohnDoe1989

EDIT: Actually, probably a better example for this topic would be:
"Upvote if you still totally live the lyrics of '1985'!" -SusieQ2000

we were also around for xxxJonnyLovesMetalxxx usernames BEFORE xxxtentacion

 

[cwmartin]

At this point in time? You're essentially children. I'm surprised more than half of that age group can walk.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

1980 here. What am I?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I feel like there's a divide between the "kind of a Millennial maybe" peeps we're talking about and Gen Z. I think if you asked the former, we'd associate our childhoods more with the end of the '90s and early '00s instead of the late '00s that Gen Z do.

Milennials - cool rad leftists/marxists

iGenners - libertarians/alt-right dorks

Genwunners - people that can’t get over nostalgia for Red/Blue

We old, bro.
Time to grab our walkers.

 

[Darth Pinche]

1980 here. What am I?

I think the end of Generation X. I am an early Gen X technically but old as the pyramids in GAF terms.

 

[munchie64]

'95 here. Barely remember anything pre-2000. Kinda remember watching 9/11 on TV.

Being born in 1997 in a third world country, I have witnessed many " delayed " cultural aspects because they would be available after their original peak.
I have played Atari and the second generation of video games A LOT as well as the third generation before buying a PlayStation in the early 2000's.
Same thing applies to anime, cartoon, and film ( when they were widely dependant on television airtime rather than online presence)

if you're born in 1980 you're almost 40 and should already be prepping for retirement tbh

Oh yeah, I'm definitely a Millennial.

How do you do, fellow grownups?

I was born in 1993, what am I?

Yeah, these sortings are always conditioned on being US-specific.

the age group of women I want to date

Real millennials know that Gen 2 is the best

If you like Gen 3 then you're definitely an iGenner

I was born in 1993, what am I?

Like 100% a millennial, that isn't complicated at all.

 

[NimbusD]

Sorry you have to wait for one of the hundreds of books written by sociologists trying to make a name for themselves finally sticks and coins a term for you to lump you into a group that doesn't actually define you.

 

[Earthbound64]

I was born in 1993, what am I?

24.
Or 23 if your birthday was after September 29.

the age group of women I want to date

People born after 1993 dating is super-weird to me.

I mean, I dated someone born in 1993, but still.

 

[bennywhatever]

IMO if you don't remember when Windows 95 came out, you're not a millennial.

 

[Pbae]

Y'all are already dead so I don't think it matters much.

Enjoy the rising oceans.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

1980 here. What am I?

We old, bro.
Time to grab our walkers.

The best generation.

Floppy disks were actually floppy, Number Munchers & Oregon Trail, possible lead-based paint on our baby cribs, and 80s' cartoons and action movies galore.

Fuck Reagan though.

edit: 1981 here.

 

[hipbabboom]

I worked really hard to get a house with a lawn for this generation.

You're a filthy, filthy millennial.

Come join the party, fam. Password is Passwordissomething90srelated.

 

[Bronx-Man]

If you can remember Digg, Newgrounds, & SomethingAwful, you’re a millennial.

 

[Nirolak]

Most places consider:

1980-1996: Millennial
1997- 2013 or so: Generation Z

It depends which year you were born in.

Mind, some end Millennial at 1997 or 1995, others will start Millennial as early as 1977 or as late as 1982, but 1980-1996 is the most common.

 

[MKIL65]

If you can remember Digg, Newgrounds, & SomethingAwful, you're a millennial.

Oh yeah, definitely! I loved playing flash games on Newgrounds.

 

[munchie64]

I NEVER PLAYED POKEMON

ayup

the country where you grow up and the linked cultural divide change a lot of things

 

[Pbae]

I NEVER PLAYED POKEMON

Then how will you be the very best?!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

If you can remember Digg, Newgrounds, & SomethingAwful, you’re a millennial.

Ah yeah.

You ever play those games on the Toonami website?

 

[Inferno313]

Ah yeah.

You ever play those games on the Toonami website?

those were dank as hell

neopets was also rad

 

[Makonero]

Ah yeah.

You ever play those games on the Toonami website?

nope, but i did play YouRuleSchool.com and the Wonka site flash games.

and Neopets of course

 

[EdReedFan20]

Millenials are like 81-99 right? You'd just be the tail end of the generation.

1982-2000.

The reasoning is those born in 1982 turned 18 in 2000 (became adults) and those born in 2000 were born in 2000. Thus, those born in 2001 and on are post-Millennials. In america, those children could be seen as the 9/11 generation as they will never (or may never) live in a word without added security and restrictions. Also, sort of nuts to me, but I realized that those children born in 2000 are currently seniors in High School and will themselves be legally adults next year. So, that means in 2019, the first of the post-Millennials will become legal adults. Time's a scary thing.

 

[Pattycakes]

As part of the '95 GAF club in classifying myself as nothing. I am not part of either of these groups imo

 

[Alligatorjandro]

1990 was the best year

 

[v1lla21]

Ain't shit.

Braaaap

 

[TheRealTalker]

your like the left over crust on bread

 

[okdakor]

95-97 ? Your first console was a 360 or a PS3... we should just call you Next-genners.
But you could have a Wii, Wiilllennials is better for your generation.

 

[DogDude]

95 are millennial. Anything after is generation z

 

[DrunkShogun]

I'm born in 93 and yeah I grew up with the old stuff. Black and white gameboy and dial up internet. I feel old when I tell younger cousins how great it was when handheld games were finally in colour.

 

[Pinko Marx]

If you call it ‘Knuck If You Buck’, you’re a millennial. If you call it ‘Juju On That Beat’, you’re a damn dirty iGenner.

I'm still so angry about this.

 

[Begbie]

Generation labels are dumb

 

[Sawneeks]

at this point I'm willing to be classified as both and neither for being born in '95

that means I can accept the love and hate for both generations!

 

[Elfotografoalocado]

I don't get how a 6 yr old can remember 9/11

I was born in 97, and remember watching it live on TV. They interrupted whatever was plying on TV for the live feed,(I'm talking, in Spain) and my mom freaked out, and we had the plumber working in the kitchen and he came to the living room and everyone was in awe. It was a bit scary.

And, I always thought I was a millenial. Are you people saying I'm not? My life has been a lie...

The Game Gear was out before you were born.
So was the TurboExpress and the Nomad.
And the GBC game out when you were 5.

I give up.

 

[dankir]

Man if you were born in the 90's think of all the amazing rap and hiphop you youngins weren't allowed to listen to.

80s kid here! We da best!

 

[curiouscharles]

That generation Z thread got me sweating

My ass used AOL

I remember 9/11 vividly

I scrounged the internet pre-youtube

I used gamefaqs for the actual FAQs

Fuck this shit

Wtf... this isn't even possible considering when you said you were born (unless you were doing all this when you were an infant)

This thread is full of lies.

As an 80s baby, I fully accuse you of trying to lay claim to my youth.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

You're all people who were born after I graduated college
