I feel we are so different from later millennials. We not only understand computers but we figured them out and understand them at a core level. We researched with both the internet and the library. We could show up places and talk to new people without getting all nervous. Yet we are still as good or better with tech than those older and younger than us.
We know how to have fun without worrying about some ninny's feelings about it. We were the last generation where it was perfectly normal to love your country, your people, and to take pride in hard work and being a good honorable person. We also know how to not give a fuck what other people think. Kids today seem so boring and unable to have fun.
Duuuuude that’s me. TBD to those days. The last generation before technology and SJW brainwashing completely took over.
Noah Brown
Our shows were Jerry Springer and South Park. We are the best generation.
Ian Hill
Get over yourself
Ian Miller
Eh, nah
Was born in 1990, and I effortlessly connect with young 20 year olds today.
There's not much if a generation gap like there used to be I think.
That's probably not a good thing by the way, it may mean that distinct identities with generations are disappearing
Brandon Moore
I beat the game with 0 deaths on my first try in 4th grade computer class.

Camden Morris
Yup it was nice to be able to speak the truth without everyone getting their panties in a twist. We could bullshit with neighbors, who we actually knew and talked to. If some nig tried to steal a package your neighbor would come out and physically stop them. I still have more fun with people in this age group over anyone else.
APPLE IIE DIDN'T HAVE SOLID COLORS LIKE PIC RELATED
Grayson Young
In all likelihood, we'll literally be the last generation of humans to know what it was like before the internet. We also got to experience the golden age of gaming before the Jews bought every studio out and destroyed purity.

I miss the old arcade games.
Parker Cooper
how is 7 years a generation? You're just making shit up, you're old millenials
Chase Ward
I agree with you because I had the same experience but you are dangerously close to the 'get off my lawn' mentality. There are still a lot of good hearted people/kids out there, but the propaganda machine in schools and media have been in overdrive since 9/11/2001.
Easton Mitchell
Supposedly 77-84. I would say if you grew up with AOL dialup and/or played oregon trail in grade school computer lab. If it wasn't unusual to just show up at your friends house and knock on the door. If you are used to speaking with people and don't default to just looking at your phone.
Yes! best descriptor i've heard honestly. apple 2 computers before win 95.. then 98 and the first dialup. We lived through the transition during the time when our brains were old enough to understand the world but young enough to still be forming, and formed by, those changes.
I don't know younger millenials or gen Z though I wish I did out of curiosity. It's said they play with their phones and are actually less computer literate than we are despite being "digital natives", I would find that funny and satisfying if true.
We have one foot in the old school 20th century proper - analog, land line telephones and cable CRT tvs, writing on paper and using dictionaries and physical book encyclopedias sets. I even remember using microfilm in the library as a kid, and not as a novelty. That foot grounds us in the past in a real way, a claim to an antique past that will give us very interesting stories when we're in our 60s and beyond to children of a curious bent who want to hear "what it was like back then"
I wonder constantly what the culture is like for children today. Are there fads like with music and TV shows... does anyone listen to the same shit or watch the same stuff and talk about it?
Its a method of identification for a segment of our society. I don't care what some kike comes up with for the name of a generation. Fuck off with your closed minded need to be contrarian, you faggot.
nope, people woh are today in their early 30s have been referred to as millenials for the past 15 years.
Jose Perry
>We were the last generation where it was perfectly normal to love your country, your people, and to take pride in hard work and being a good honorable person.
Largest events during my formative years: -Crack Epidemic -9/11 -Iraq War -Financial collapse
dunno what your talkin bout OP. This country has sucked shit for as long as I've been alive in it. Whoregon trail was dope af tho
Julian Kelly
We grew up in the wake of a pc wave, like gen z is now. That’s why so many of us oppose the Marxist forces
Aiden Moore
yea played it in latch key on an old MECC computer back in 1994 along with word and number munchers. great games
I was born in the late 90s but played that in middle school. We didn’t use a computer though, we got split into teams and drew events from a hat. We either had to solve puzzles, come up with a solution, roll dice, or do something to determine if the event passed or failed.
Easton Parker
You are correct of course. People are waking up again and it's great to see. I never thought I'd see the day again.
Mason Sanchez
>Its a method of identification for a segment of our society why not an armband or something classy?
Dylan Foster
Wrong. Gen X remember Reagan years. I essentially have no memory of him except my entire family loved him and have pics shaking his hand.
Xavier Bell
Latch key. Now that brings back some memories. They euphemized it as the "rec center", but it did have both an SNES and a Genesis. Will never forget co-oping Secret of Mana there or playing Mortal Kombat when my hippie single mom said I couldn't.
Xavier Diaz
Yes. Younger millenials and gen z are good OPERATORS of technology. We have both a real understanding of what's running it and the operation. I agree with all of what you said btw.
I work with some younger people. To give you an example of what kids are into today picture watching someone else play video games on youtube all day. I'm not joking. When I was a kid I always wanted to DO things not just watch.
Being afraid to meet a new client and not be able to think of anything to say?!? God damn kid you should be able to bullshit with any other white person who's not a fucked up socialist.
Michael Nguyen
I remember the Oregon trail and word munchers.
Luis Taylor
I know its not all roses and I mostly think of around 9/11 being when society started getting much worse.
I guess you could sum it up by this. Your family had an american flag up when you were growing up I can almost guarantee it. You definitely had one up after 9/11.
There's no hard line brother I would say anyone who was of high school age at least on 9/11 falls into the group we're all thinking about.
Jace Roberts
I was born in 1982 and my siblings and I played outside most of the time. We had a trampoline that was more fun than sitting inside.
Jayden Reyes
Nope. Grew up in liberal commie CA
Gabriel Diaz
Was that game even beatable?
Mason James
So what would you consider as part of this subset? Any millennial born in the '80s?
Robert Gutierrez
Nice quads
Lucas Adams
holy shit this is me, '85
Cooper Parker
same age here, the whole generation bullshit is a modern meme, horizontalization in relationships does not promote the passage of knowledge and traditions
Cameron Reyes
I would say that's fair. Did you have dial up internet as a kid? Did your parents basically throw you out of the house for the whole day and not give a shit? When you went to your gf house did you have to talk to her dad for like a half hour because you just showed up and knocked and he wanted to bust your balls a bit first?
Eventually they'll make a distinction in this "Millennial Generation," since the difference between pre and post internet-dominated culture are so vast. A person born in 85 is nothing like a person born in 90-95, and the difference is even more extreme if you follow their current segmentation of 81-97.
Zachary Hill
>To give you an example of what kids are into today picture watching someone else play video games on youtube all day. I've heard this before regarding an 8 or 9 year old. At least video games, a relatively new medium with a lot of creative mojo, is providing a generational ballast for them. Tbh that sounds like a solid nostalgia force since the 'death of the livingroom' (console games, after school tv and sitcoms, tv movies etc) has taken away that element of generational cohesion. southpark.cc.com/clips/6cwuu5/savethelivingroom
It makes sense to me now in light of what you said why the push of the "progressive" agenda has been so forceful on the computer gaming industry in the past 5 years.
Ryan Ross
>To give you an example of what kids are into today picture watching someone else play video games on youtube all day
Generation Z, and to an exten younger Millennials, can't just do one things at a time. There has to be multiple screens providing constant stimulation
Jaxson Parker
Guys, the future of this country really does lie in our hands. We are the ones who got trump elected. We showed the fire in our hearts that's been brewing since about 2007. We can't go silent now because we've won a small cultural victory. We must persist or the country we grew up in will be destroyed by the trojan horse the ((progressives)) brought in.
Hunter Evans
Whatchu fags know about that Chip's Challenge?
Wyatt Moore
For some reason people don't point out that Millenial is the last white-majority generation. Even here on Sup Forums of all places this has yet to sink in.
Adam Lewis
Understood. My father would have beat the piss out of someone desecrating the flag. I know because he and I did just that at the countries oldest 4th of July parade. They had a gay float for the first time and people weren't going for it. When a guy held the flag upside down it went bad quick. People yelling, throwing bottles, hosing them down. My father punched the guy right in his nose while I swung wildly like an idiot at them. I was probably 14 or so and was also drunk at the time.
Hunter Cruz
They're not even white. They're just fake and gay.
Samuel Parker
Yup. My school was all white. Of course this was a small town in New England and there still aren't many blacks because it gets cold and snows here. Now you see white kids being dogpiled by niggers and no one helping. When I was a kid we would have each others back if a group joined in to beat on one kid just because hes white.
Aaron Richardson
Millennials think more and long for purpose, not to be a part of a cogwheel of a shitty machine. You are part of generation that brought zero value to the world, you just maintained the status quo not improving shit.
Andrew Morales
Nice blog post faggot Btw, I'm a millenial and we had macs running OT when I was in primary school
Julian King
30yo here. Very much agree that we are a rare breed. I'm not by any means a computer scientist but I grew up with the first modern computers and understand them like the back of my hand. Built my main desktop computer from scratch with no previous training. It's ingrained in me. Believe it or not, we are also the last generation to learn cursive in school. Yes, they no longer teach cursive in public schools. I didn't get a smart phone til I was well into my twenties, and have a very healthy distrust of them, specifically Google and apple. Generation Xers are too self absorbed to understand what's really going on, they are horribly stupid overall. Generation z grew up knowing nothing but technology, a fundamental weakness. If things go to shit it would be US that have to take control, as boomers are useless and Xers are insanely incompetent
Noah Lewis
If your best friend and the girl you had crush on didn't die from cholera or dysentery don't talk to me, faggots.
Levi Howard
Bingo. Born in 1985, remember things before we had a computer, let alone the internet. Watched 9/11 happen live in high school. Then the same thing during the Shock & Awe bombings in Iraq. Graduated from college just in time to get slapped in the face by the 2008 crash.
I remember the sort of nebulous optimism from the mid-late 90s. Computers would bring all sorts of cool stuff, the internet would free us, robots and Mars colonies were maybe 20 years away.
My mom used to worry about the resulting cynicism all this shit has brought on, and what happened to her "happy little boy". I have a very young son now, and he's a smiley, curious little dude. I'm doing my best to make sure he has a happy childhood, but not shield him too much from reality. I hope that he will smile, know who he is, and have a place in where things are going. And ultimately, my mom (and dad) know that under my daily grumbling, I am also happy, even though I feel like Sisyphus.
Luke Cook
I hated all those fags who learned how to print. Somehow we were all dumped together in like second grade and all of a sudden I was expected to know how to print.
I had to fucking figure that shit out on my own real time to pass the tests and stuff. Nobody told me I needed to know retard runes.
Jonathan Morales
Go back to your blacked thread then you little cuckold.
You're a fucking idiot for so many reasons. Oregon trail generation is technically millennials. We brought about the rise of everything you see today technology wise. And the most brainwashed people ever to exist are longer thinking? The expression is also not just another cog in the the wheel dumbass and yes you are. So maybe you should think long and hard about that faggot.
Angel Bell
Yep, born in 81 here. I totally agree with everything you said.
>We researched with both the internet and the library This sentence right here sums it right up. Maintaining that hybrid would be a great thing; get the benefits of technology without the detriments of complete immersion.
Gavin Collins
>he didn't print out the entire Yahoo! listing on his IBM ProPrinter Sad!
Nolan Hernandez
Number Muncher ftw!!
Logan Miller
I'm 89 but my dad (unintentionally) went backwards with my consoles/computers. Silver lining of being a poorfag; NES, SNES, N64, etc. Played a lot of Oregon Trail and edutainment sidescrollers. I also wrote a lot, and didn't really dive into the internet until years later. I think social is what really screwed things up, and of course the normifaction of technology which has broadened the horizon but lowered the standard.
Gabriel Evans
>not taking a polaroid picture of the microfiche newspaper articles in your media center
Bro, do you even research?
Thomas Johnson
Uhhh. Literally all millenials I know are leftist retards. Excluding me... and the next gen will be better with tech. You will turn into your parents don't worry.
Nathan Ramirez
Don't shittalk microfiche. It was faster than waiting for the 1X CD-ROM drive that had the entire internet in a searchable index. WITH COLOR PICTURES UNLIKE YOUR NERDY ENCYLOPEDIA BRITANICA
Not the techie ones who were nerds before nerds were cool. In my programming classes almost everyone was right wing especially fiscally. They laughed at all the things the left said.
Hunter Sanders
I had it and still have it in hometown :)
Joshua King
Being computer illiterate is a weakness in today’s society
Samuel Ramirez
It's more like a comfy nap away from all the mental retards.
Jace Brown
Nice catch, fellow squirrel hunter.
Nathan Sullivan
My experience >be millennial >be libertarian >meet nigs and shitskins who hate you for being white >pic related
Was born 1992 and I don't know jack shit about computers besides how to work them. The most knowledge I have on how to repair them is the same as a dad who knows how to repair their car. >five years until 30 >still not employed >still no driver's license I'm going to law school though, that's good right? Right?
Its a weakness to the status quo society of today sure. What happens when the trucks stop going to Walmart and the in stores food dries up? What happens when the power goes out? What happens when the groups of men who were ready decide they want the things you have but your best ability is coding and shitposting on Sup Forums?
Carson Morgan
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS!
Carter Nguyen
Yes, and so is literally being illiterate and unable to comprehend someones point threw reading.
Jason Sanders
Before normies took over the internet the internet was a nap away from the morons.
Colton Brown
We just go back to the most sustainable system before we obtained that and work our way back again.
Luis Fisher
Born 85. I think the biggest difference is growing up with and without cell phones.
Andrew Lewis
My phone thing continues to assert that I have like 10 voicemails (who even has that number?) but I try to press buttons and all it does is give me a dial tone and apparently I'm supposed to know some kind of secret code. I assume it's not important because nobody is mad at me.
All I wanted was to receive bacon :(
Xavier Mitchell
I didn't get one until 2008. I didn't want anyone to contact me when I was out.
Henry Thomas
gay reddit shit. sage
Benjamin Phillips
You should have seen how buttmad my family was when I finally agreed to get a phone and then flatly informed them I wasn't going to carry it on my person.
It was like I had just bought a monster truck to run over all the dogs in the neighborhood.
Brayden Moore
I played some Oregon Trail but the big hit over here was a similar game called Cross Country Canada where you drive a truck across Canada. Took me months to figure out how to apply snow chains.
Samuel Garcia
Amazon trail master race. Get out op
Jack Diaz
hahaahhaha hilarious. It's nice not to be contacted 24/7 and they just don't get it.
Jason Allen
I also had the mysteries of mind, space, and time encyclopedia. Full color and I was woke as a 10 year old.
I didn’t ask what society does. I asked what Mr Computer literacy only does. Bc if that’s the case then there will be only early stage millennials and older left to protect what children still exist. Because the early 20s and younger gen are completely fucking useless
Jace Bennett
