Anyone else notice that the millennial definition spans too far back? I hear people note millennials to go as far back as people born in the early 80s
I'm 28, born in 1990. Came of age in the mid to late 2000s/early 2010s
I identify effortlessly with people who are 10 years younger than me, as opposed to people 10 years older than me. 100%
You've had to notice this too, and probably everyone noticed this as well.

there's wiggle room on all years it's not an actual scientific metric
Its likely a personal thing, I was born the same year and identify with people a decade my senior more easily than people a decade my junior.
Also, Sage for not-politics
I'm Millennial and don't relate to my generation or any others. I have Asperger's. I don't relate to the borg like mentality of people born in the 90s for instance or their need for groupthink where everyone has to have consensus. I also don't relate to having enough empathy towards society to put it above myself. It seems illogical. Rebelling against the you are special meme also seems illogical for me because if your differences were hated it's illogical to rebel against something fake.
I don't relate to older generations either because they seem clueless to the reality of how the world really is.
I reject the concept of collective blame so nothing people say to me can ever make me feel guilt.
Fucked the economy so hard that they blame millennials for their own failure. Banks control house prices witch then turns everything to shit because people can't settle to have stability so they can grow children. Then there is all the niggers who are on welfare that do nothing good to the economy... Capitalism is dead, America now is more socialist than any communist country combined.
Fuck this faggots back
Sage gents
If you buy into cycle theory a generation is about 27 years long
I don't feel any sense of collective blame or guilt. Anyone wanting to blame me can get lost. I don't accept blame for millions.
Also you Identify with people 10 years younger than you because you are a pathetic manchild
No wonder your gf left you
for the record I'm a millenial too, 1985. I was just being facetious about how other gens hate us.
I don't buy into it. If this is the case why are some of my actions and behaviors in line with what generational theory says but some of the supposed personality traits I have and outlook on life the complete opposite of what generational theory says?
>millennial mindset is too illogical and inefficient
>I don't relate to the Borg mentality
lol
>gen based 00-20
underaged detected
True and it's complete bullshit that we're scapegoats. My generation hates me too so I'm pretty numb to other generations hate. I'm pretty much at the point I can do almost anything and not care about the social ramifications.
because you're an individual not the aggregate of all interacting human cultures/spheres of people your age, retard
>millenial faggots who everyone hates 80-00
Nobody likes them because they're from the shitty generation that taught "children are our future" and they took it fucking literally, so now they're all in their 30's or whatever and cant accept that they're not special anymore.
The 90's kids (born 1992-1999) are the worst fucking cunts on the planet
Have you ever been on social media? Everyone demands consensus thought.
Well you don't have to pay attention to what those cunts say or hate, because they were the ones pulling the strings on all stupid kids in the 90's and 00's. The educational system all around the world is socialist/communist. If someone is smarter in a class of 30 cunts they don't help him grow instead they slow him down to be like the others crushing that kid's potential to grow even more...
I was born in 1990. What am I?
just making a star trek joke, my dude.
Education really went downhill after 9/11.
to be a 90's kid wouldn't you have to have been a kid during the 90's? 97/98/99 you would still be a baby before the turn of the millenium, and technically 88/89 would still be "kids" up until 2000
A cunt but not worst.
OP here
It's an interesting thought. We were teenagers in the mid-to-late 2000s, and in our early twenties in the early 2010s.
So we turned to YouTube personalities as we came of age.
Joe Rogan is like the Charlie Rose of our Generation. 100%
But I'm just saying, teenagers today or doing the same thing with YouTube.
I'm just making an observation that there doesn't seem to be the generation gap with the teenagers today and with us, you know.
I'm not sure if a lock of a generation gap is either good or bad for society, as it appears that diversity of thought seems to be perhaps disappearing or something.
I'm saying that the world we react to tells more than how we react to it. I don't see why I should reject individuality for example when the individualism at the time was fake and people with real differences were persecuted.
*lack
90's kids are literally 83-92. because they got to school before the end of the decade.
What's causing the lack of diversity in thought? It makes me feel less empathy for others and makes me more self centered. If they're all going to decide to be the borg and force consensus on me I will have to be 5 times as pushy to be even considered.
Born in 92, I think we are a deeply conflicted generation. Females are compromised by social media and the chads + beta orbiters have never been more pathetically singleminded and mentally enthralled. There is, however, a profoundly disillusioned minority of males in the millennial generation who have been the backbone of Sup Forums shitposting from the beginning. I have been on Sup Forums since I was 12 or 13 when the site was in its infancy and it has seriously fragmented my soul, I've seen the rise and fall of countless memes. Does anyone remember grin man and double nigger?
Not quite... We got the internet uncensored when we were growing up. Which turned to reveal more truth and give more freedom be it creative or trolling,shitposting.
born in 95 to 99 means you're not a 90s kid.
Generational cycle theory is a model for how cultures change in cycles, you have been profoundly failed by your education or genetics if you can't understand how that makes no implication about you as an individual
This. I don't understand how someone can grow up on uncensored internet of the late 90s and early 2000s and then go back to the social media borg.
I'll bite.
Tide pods, give up your guns. Nuff said n sage faggot.
this thread is now about old memes
Yeah but the impact doesn't have to be the same. I felt no need to rebel against individuality because I saw real differences being persecuted. The embrace individuality thing was a sham that never happened. It was just a feel good phrase.
I don't see why I should magically come to the same conclusions because I grew up in the same world. You can see the same things and reach opposite conclusions. I saw the same things and reached opposite conclusions.
>40s-60s = Boomers(Degeneracy begins)
>70s-80s = Generation X(Degeneracy intensifies)
>90s-00s = Millennials(Degeneracy out of control)
>10s = Generation Z(A new hope?)
t. low iq
"You don't see" a lot of things, I gather
80’s born millenials had a totally different experience growing up then the second half of the generation.
>nobody used smartphones until highschool was over
>nobody used Facebook until highschool was over
>MySpace and Ebaumsworld were king
>EDM was still called techno and it was for faggot dorks
>you knew people your age who were killing sand niggers in battle
How is it a low IQ to critically think about what you see rather than automatically forming the same conclusions as your peers?
I'm using social media only to communicate with relatives. Funny thing is there was a facebook in my country before facebook even existed it was called faces.md and it was made in 2001.. It never got mainstream because they didn't have jew friends and US connections.
>literally cannot comprehend how a generalization can possibly apply to many members of a group without applying to a nontrivial portion of select individuals of that group
same as a nigger saying "but I have 110 IQ so I don't see how niggas are beastmen"
I remember all of this. Also the old yahoo and AOL chatrooms
If you weren’t old enough to remember nirvana getting blasted on mtv and Kurt cobains suicide. You ain’t a 90s kid. If you don’t remember Tupac being all over the place you ain’t no 90s kid. The late 90s sucked. Spice girls and puff daddy were all the rage then.
1981 and I'm a millennial. graduated h.s. in 2000
lol, other soaps aren't poisonous, it's an honest mistake grandpa!
>you have to have participated in cancerous, brain-liquefying mass culture to be LEGIT!
no. You're squarely gen x
>degeneracy began in the 60s
Haha fucking kek that meme is hilarious
I wouldn’t consider that a millennial. I’m 82 and there’s no fucking way I’m a millennial. 81 82 years are kinda in limbo I’d say so I guess you can just pick
> I identify
KYS.
the 60's is when Central Intelligence brainwashing began. There has always been degeneracy but 60's are when we entered the brave new world of wholesale manufacture of reality by military intelligence
nope
> Australia's McCrindle Research[27] regards 1980–1994 as Generation Y birth years. A 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers[28] report used 1980 to 1995. Gallup Inc.,[29][30][31] and MSW Research[32] use 1980–1996. Ernst and Young uses 1981–1996.[33] Pew Research Center defines millennials as being born from 1981 to 1996; though, prior to March 2018, it ended the millennial generation with dates between 1992-1999, with no chronological endpoint yet established.
>Goldman Sachs,[35] Resolution Foundation,[36][37] and a 2013 Time magazine cover story[38] all use 1980–2000. SYZYGY, a digital service agency partially owned by WPP, uses 1981–1998,[39][40] and the United States Census Bureau uses 1982–2000.[41] The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary describes Millennials as those born roughly between the 1980s and 1990s.
I know where I fit in, and most researchers consider 81 millennial
we were among the first, the vanguard
get in line lil niggas
What the fuck is Generation Y. Goddamit I’m not Generation Y. That little research paper can fuck off
Ewww. You want to be millennial?
>Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe are widely credited with naming the millennials.[2] They coined the term in 1987, around the time children born in 1982 were entering preschool, and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the new millennium as the high school graduating class of 2000
that's me. graduated high school in 2000. born late 1981
Gen X = 1961-1981
Gen Y = 1981-2001
Gen Z = 2001-2021
You are not a millennial. Lets say if you were born in 85 by the time the decade ended your brain would collect no information. you will be 5 years old knowing nothing. that's why a generation begins from 83-92 because at the end of the decade you are already in school and your brain has developed to absorb all the information around you be it TV,school,friends or anything else that was happening at that time.
There is no millennial generation.
Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z.
Choose.
Hollywood has always been like that senpai. The gangster glorification movies of the 20s and 30s were cultural manipulation. Rebel Without a Cause was cultural manipulation. The entire flapper/Jazz and later Greaser youth cultures were all pozzed as fuck. As soon as the jews saw what DW Griffith could do to the zeitgeist with Birth of a Nation they’ve been peddling filth in motion pictures ever since.
Gen Y = Millennials.
Or as I call them, Gen why?
millennial is a great generation
gen y opposed to gen x
x chromosome, y chromosome
we are a masculine generation, a war generation, aye, a millenarian generation, perhaps
>Millenarianism (also millenarism), from Latin mīllēnārius "containing a thousand", is the belief by a religious, social, or political group or movement in a coming major transformation of society, after which all things will be changed.[citation needed] Millenarianism exists in many cultures and religions.[1]
Jesus Christ I look exactly like the guy in this picture
Ty.
music was good; nirvana, smashing pumpkins, sublime, etc.
Fucking weird, man. Literally just had this conversation last night with a bunch of co-workers. At break, we all had to look up the year that the millennial generation started on. Everybody thought that it began in the 90's. I get home, head over to Sup Forums and this is the first thread I see...
and the generation of teachers who sold that concept and the parents who lapped it up like dogs?
generation X
In my opinion: Millennials are people who were in grade school or high school during 9/11.
And I feel none of your collectivist guilt or shame. I'm so used to the concept of collective guilt I reject it entirely.
Funny how you think I'm deserving of collective guilt but you are not.
Exactly. I’d throw weezer in there too.
you do you. I shoulda added an imo in there.
And those same authority figures screwed people over if they really were different and they decided to insult them, always side with normal kids over them, and tell parents what their kids would never do.
Do you see any reason to rebel against the embrace differences meme when it was never true for you in reality? Why should I rebel against something that never really existed and was just words?
Cool
All good
its when it started to become socially accepted and pushed on a mass scale
consider this, 10 years later rocky horror picture show was released. One part of the movie someone mentions a girl having/getting a tattoo and the entire audience in the theater laughed. men and women both. It was socially unaccepted and bizarre enough the masses thought it was actually funny.
Now imagine that today, the audience wouldn't blink and eye nor find any humor in it, they wouldn't even put any thought into it, it'd just glaze over them like it was nothing.
that's just one example of how culture/social norms have completely shifted from what they once were. It's not even debatable, perhaps you weren't born yet to notice these kinds of things.
>I identify effortlessly with people who are 10 years younger than me, as opposed to people 10 years older than me. 100%
this is because your subconcious needs a way to cope that you are reaching your 30's
these guys that are 10 years older than you also think they would rather identify with you than those older by another 10 years
it's called behaviorism
t. born in 1989
I came once home from school to look at cartoons that was airing at 14:00 for it to turn into a fucking suicide planes... Funny how every fucking station at that time had it on live... almost like it was perpetrated by someone hmmmm....
Rocky horror was already a cult pic when I saw. Never really got what made it so great. It was wacky?
Just curious but I see lots of women my age with tats. What do their parents think of them?
I was 9 years old when I rolled out of bed to watch the second plane crash into the tower on live television. I was probably about 10 when I learned about the building 7 collapse and realized the entire narrative was complete bullshit, I've been depressed and disillusioned with reality ever since then. 9/11 was a deeply traumatic event to millennials I believe
I was born in 1980, and never felt like part of Gen X, and never identified with Millennials either. I believe Pokeman is the cut-off, If you were young enough to have liked it when it became popular in the U.S., you're a Millennial.
They don't care user.. Liberalism is a cancerous disease.
I was in the middle of college classes. Walking to one of the buildings. My friend came running up and said we were getting attacked. I thought it was so ludicrous I laughed about it. Then I got a this really weird feeling, I could tell she wasn’t kidding. Class let out. I drive home and by that time both buildings had fell and they played it on repeat over and over. Fucked me up.
generation soy
Amazing logic LOL.
Yeah i saw it live too but i didn't feel anything. And i have no idea how its traumatizing to watch something happen on live tv....
Not the PTSD type of trauma, I'm talking about the psychophilosophical aftereffects of watching something like that happen live on TV at the age of 9, having a feeling that it was staged and complete horseshit at that young age and watching the lies unfold in realtime over the course of the rest of your life, being ridiculed by normies from childhood onward for not buying the horseshit, and never being able to buy into any mainstream grand narratives at any point in your life. It messed me up. I wasn't particularly shocked to see it happen either but that doesn't change the fact that witnessing something like that at a young age will change the way you think about everything forever
Well as someone who watched it live i can say that it felt really fake to me.. and i don't buy in that terrorist bullshit either. I think it was a inside job. And there are allot of other people all around the world thinking the same way we do.. And the people who were in WW2 were feeling the same shit for the holocaust hoax that they made. My grandmother has a Bible from 1932 and in that bible there is Israel map LUL.
you would be really cute as a tranny
I was also 9, I've tried to explain this to people, that millennials who were children but old enough to understand what was going on were affected more by the event then people who were adults or toddlers.
the few based millennials are the most hardcore of them all
OP where is this picture from
missclicked
interesting post user
I think anyone above a certain IQ probably had the same sensation. I was a goddamned child and I saw through the veil almost instantly
thanks
good luck, brother, in your travels on this kiked Earth. try not to get hit by any falling skyscrapers
You guys have inspired me, I'm going to repost this this in thread form 24/7 starting when the 9/11 thread in the catalog gets archived. better than nigger dick thread spam and I think people are getting sick of all these false flags, may as well jam the mother of all false flags into the consciousness of this board in whatever small way I can
36 here. You make a good point about YouTube being a glue that closes the generation gap. You say you can't identify with anons 10 years your senior, but the real quantifier is viewing habits, with Joe Rogan being the quickest one, even if you think he's dudeweed. Sup Forums is another qualifier. I'm sure I can relate to anyone, edgy psychos excluded, on Sup Forums be it 26 or 16 or 36.
The sad part is I have less and less loyalty to my generation. I no longer really think about my generation, late millennials, as having any driving goals or aesthetics. The neoliberals have really coopted idealism, and Trump spans generations. Globalist vs nationalist is the better definitive gap now, albeit it runs on a spectrum.
It's weird to think of 36 as old. I feel and think 26. And people at that age, the difference is screen time, hookups, vidya, maybe more Harry Potterfags. But then I run into other 36yo with three kids who are miserable, who are running low on mindshare. Another thing is that 9/11 really seems like just a few years ago, it exists in a state of animation online, like an automated bonfire. But if another 9/11 happens, this small gap between 16, 26, 36 will be a permanent gulf. It's like we're all in the audience waiting for something huge to happen, and Sup Forums is an audience inside that audience. And the clock is ticking.
Yeah, how late millennials embraced Facebook was a huge demarcation line for me. I fucked hated Zuckerberg from day one. It was clear in 2005 that FB would become a surveillance hypertool. Just as it was apparent in 2003 that Iraq had no ties to 9/11 nor WMDs. A lot of good faith I had in my generation, now in mid 30s, vanished due to the social Borg, especially females, who were shallower than I expected.
