If you're young enough to remember dialup, you're a millenial.

Trying to muffle the connection noise in the middle of the night was a trial of my youth.

is this like a kink or something
It's very funny, haha, i'm from 95 but an atonishing 85% of my partners were born in '95. Perhaps i'm too immature for my age? I dunno. I was born in 92 so it's not like it's a big gap.is this like a kink or something
Lol, we dun fucked up.
An entire generation of Rand Pauls. Exciting times ahead.
Smartphones were everywhere by the time you entered high school. You couldn't possibly relate to the before times.
That's true. But pretty much everyone can say that The categories are pretty meaningless anyhow. May as well make it the turn of the century at that point.I was born in 92 but kids even 3-4 years younger than me had a completely different experience growing up
More like Generation Lame.

How the fuck did we let this happen. HOW THE FUCK DID WE LET THIS HAPPEN?
I guess they can look forward to bearing the brunt of Gen X's retirement woes just as Millennials are going to bear the brunt of Baby Boomers.
It should be this:Looking around it looks like part of what's happened is that they've cut Gen X off a lot earlier than they used to and people born in the late '70s are actually getting pulled into the Millenial group now as well.
Gen Y = MillenialI didn't know the term generation Y got cancelled, I'm 34 wtf I am then? :/
Gen Z are the target of the alt right. If you ever peruse /pol/ they talk about Gen Z being "the redpilled generation that will save us from the degenerate SJW Millennials" all the time.

It should be this:
Gen X - You had a usenet account as your first online account
Millennial - You had an AIM account as your first online account

9/11 and awareness of the Bush years is a huge part of why that cutoff changed.Well when you use 1995 as the cutoff instead of 1998 then yeah of course the generation increases. That's strange though since I've always heard of Millennials as the latter. Well it looks like I'm GenZ/iGen though, which is odd since the majority of my life has still taken place before the iPhone.
No.Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State and widely cited author on Generation Z, defines iGen as the generation born in the years between 1995 and 2012, meaning that the oldest iGen members are 22, and the youngest are five.

With all the suicide memes that's not a huge surprise.Millennials finally killed themselves
No.
NO
IM A MILLENNIAL GODDAMNIT. I AM DESTROYER OF WORLDS.

Ain't foolin' no one mate, you're an iGenner through n through.No.
NO

Lol I just mean the general timeframe. Basically, what was the main way you talked to others online? If you're a Gen Xer, you were around for the days of usenet and Web 1.0. If you're a millennial, growing up most people had AIM accounts (or Hotmail or earthlink or whatever) and saw the birth of Web 2.0. If you're a Gen Zer, everyone had Facebook and other modern social media growing up.I'm pretty sure mine was Hotmail.
I'm not saying everyone that grew up falls into this, it's just a good way of separating out what was the dominant way of communicating with others online at the time. I explained it a bit more above. Everyone didn't have to use it since you're right, a lot of Gen Xers probably didn't get internet till the late 90s. But if they had internet, they would've had usenet accounts instead of AIM accountsThis doesn't work, because it was mostly nerds online during the usenet only days. In the early 90s the default status was no internet at all. I was in Grade 5 in 1992. One kid had the internet at home out of the 60 of us.
The shift was between 1994 and 1998. By 1997, ICQ was the hottest thing.
I can't imagine most of /pol/ or the youtube alt-right crowd actually attending church though.
Different people/articles have different definitions for generations. There's no "set" year-to-year range on any generation.wait. im not a millenial? im a fucking gen z kid? dammit
Absolutely the FUCK notLike Millennials, social scholars have plucked out several traits that seem to characterize the generation. In addition to the relative abstinence, the group is known for libertarian political leanings and a willingness to attend church.
Thinking when Millennials grew up vs when Gen Z grew up if you don't understand the political difference.
Millennials = Cold War is ending or over, booming economy, future looks bright, suddenly it's pulled out from under the rug. We go through Bush which turns us left, then cheer on Obama, then Bernie comes along and inspires people to go even further left. Hatred of Donald is obvious. Parents are a bunch of lazy racists who screwed us over so we naturally rebel against them.
Gen Z = born in late 90s, become aware when the world is already on chaos post-9/11 but can't really remember the details. Bush is a vague memory. Obama was president during the recession, gets associated with it. Need to look out for yourself, unlike lazy older brother who hangs around st home all the time - why can't he just get a job? Siblings are stifling SJWs, the cool contrarians are on the right. Trump is a funny man, memes! I love Pepe.
This made me burst out laughing, probably incredibly accurate too.Thinking when Millennials grew up vs when Gen Z grew up if you don't understand the political difference.

Yeah my first online account experience was AIM and I remember my 5th grade teacher warning us about the "dangers of MySpace".It should be this:
Gen X - You had a usenet account as your first online account
Millennial - You had an AIM account as your first online account
Gen Z - You had a Facebook account as your first online account
There's a shift in counterculture now to Alt-Right and anti "PC Culture" behavior that is mainly seen in people of this age group (before they hopefully grow out of it) so it sadly makes sense despite the increasing diversity. Youtubers like JonTron and Pewdiepie know their base well.yes, the most racially diverse and least heteronormative generation in american history are going to be stalworth religious republicans/libertarians. whatever they're basing this claim off of must be oversampling the alt right.
...It's like we're breeding Baby Boomers V.2. Fuck.
I would actually put Bernie in the latter group - Millennials (especially the older ones from the '77-'95 range) are way bigger on trusting institutions than the younger set. Remembering the Cold War, 9/11, etc. is a big deal.Thinking when Millennials grew up vs when Gen Z grew up if you don't understand the political difference.
