Birth year.

People change less than we think.

I thought I'd never see someone who agrees with me on that lol. People get way too pessimistic about generations.

Look up "juvenoia", it's very interesting.

Huh, I've never heard that term for it but it sounds perfect!

But yeah, each generation complains about the one after it. It's part of the circle of life. Millennials are going to find something to complain about with whatever the next group is going to be called.

@KingofPizza: I tend to agree with that.
It's the times that change, not the people.

@InvaderNice:
"juvenoia"

I had no idea it had a name. Awful isn't it?

...and it's all your generation's fault
;) (I don't need to say just kidding, do I?) LOL

@KingofPizza: They're calling it Generation Z at the moment. Millennials were Gen Y. They've got a name for everything these days LOL

@KingofPizza: Yep. George Orwell said, "Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it."

@LucyFuhr: What's the difference between time changing and people changing?

@LucyFuhr: So why didn't Gen X get a name beyond the letter? Did Generation X just sound cool enough on its own?

@LucyFuhr: Lol no you don't need to say it. :P

@InvaderNice: I should've clarified. By times, I also meant environment. For example, your generation is far more "digitized" than mine ever was. We had to adapt to something y'all were born into.

@KingofPizza: I'm not sure...
Gen X is like the Cher or Madonna of Generations. We were so fabulous we only needed one name LOL

@LucyFuhr: I see. Makes sense!
