You guys sound like a bunch of goody two shoes! Where’s the drama in your life! Lol. My generation (Z) has a lot more things going on and then you guys do! I feel bad for your generation. BORING 😹🤣
@IAmJess I think you have to at least remember 9/11 to be an official millennial. I've also heard "90s Kids," so if you weren't even alive in the 1990s, you can't be one of those.
Regardless, it is getting a little silly. Technically, I'm a Boomer since I was born in 1962, but I don't have much in common with Boomers born in 1946. I heard a podcast about the Boomers where they divided them into "early Boomers" and "late Boomers." And "Generation X" has to be the stupidest name, like no one could think of what to call them after "The Greatest Generation" (oh, please, thank you Dan Rather for that one) and their kids were "the Baby Boom." So "Generation Y" was renamed "Millennials," and since your generation is after "Y," you're "Generation Z."
I haven't heard a name for what they're going to call kids born in the 2010s yet, hopefully they won't have a name and we can stop this nonsense. My grandparents were born in the 1890s and nobody felt obligated to come up with a name for that cohort, the World War One generation I guess, if you have to call them something.
@TexChik Actually, cherry picking would be taking examples like Chicago, New York, LA, and Baltimore and using them to smear all millennials across the country.
The statistics above reflect the averages across a generation of Americans compared to previous generations. There will always be pockets that don't reflect the average.
@sarabee1995 oh of course! I think we can disagree and not be angry... or at least I hope so . Besides she’s your friend... which already speaks well of her character. 😊
I'm in my 70s. I worry about those polite young kids. If things get dull for them, I guess they can always consult my generation and we can give them some tips for wild, rebellious and crazy behavior. We have years of experience behind us.
@IAmJess Just kidding, of course. I am delighted that your generation is so much smarter than we were in so many ways. We did have our better moments but we were young and sometimes excessive.
