"Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial"
1997 and up is gen Z
If we have any millennials here I'd be curious as to their feelings around the whoop.

Before and after the Billy Joel/boomer whoop origin bombshell

The Oregon Trail Generation: Life Before and After Mainstream Tech

We came of age just as the very essence of communication was experiencing a seismic shift, and it’s given us a unique perspective that’s half analog old school and half digital new school.
We’re an enigma, those of us born at the tail end of the 70s and the start of the 80s. Some of the “generational” experts lazily glob us on to Generation X, and others just shove us over to the Millennials they love to hate – no one really gets us or knows where we belong.

I was born in 1984 and remember going over to friends houses without calling, memorizing dozens of phone numbers, stashing porn in the woods and shit.

Geez I didn't realize millennials were that old. I had imagined them to be much younger.

How can they stand listening to such awful music in their thirties I wonder?

the soundcloud rap era ruined rap for me it all sounds the same because I grew up with rap from 1995-maybe 2010 then it went down hill. rock also went to crap and country.

I've risked life and limb climbing a 2x4 "ladder" nailed to a giant oak tree just so I could take a peak inside a treehouse in the hopes there might be woods porn in there.

To hear people talk about the pains of downloading porn on a dial-up internet where only one line of the picture was revealed at a time?
Get off my fucking lawn.

My struggle was real.

Still lots of good music out there.
You just have to look for it a little harder.

That's me and my brother. He's an 81 I'm an 83 and our dad was born in the 40s. The amount I have in common with someone born in the 90s could fill a teaspoon.
