born 87, early millennial i.e. da best

No, core is better

>Born '96
>Childhood was late millennial culture, adolescence was early gen Z culture (though Avatar was mediocre, even back in 8th grade I was bored by it outside of the CGI)
Didn't get a PS2 until almost 2010 though, I was an N64/Sega Saturn/PS1 hand-me-down fucker with an Xbox OG during gen 6.

Early Millennial but we only had an NES. I loved playing my cousin's 16 bit systems whenever we went for a visit.

?90's kids are now memennialers.

Early Milen. But was also enjoying a lot of NES.

...

No one even really talks about Avatar.

It's not really classic status, and so it shouldn't even be in that picture.

Sup Forums likes Avatar a lot

...

They would. It's like Sup Forums and whatever their flavour of the year is.

But I was born in 90 and I experienced everything in that first block.

The first three, honestly. I got an NES and a bunch of games second hand from my cousin when I was little. My dad had an old PC he messed around with and had windows 3.1 and MS-DOS running on different partitions. Most of my games early on were DOS games. Eventually we got an N64 and I have no clue how that happened. From then on I played shit-tonnes of games on it. My mom had a laptop with win95/98 on it (I can't remember which) but it was her work laptop so we couldn't install shit on it. During that whole era I played the shit out of java games, mostly on bonus.com and coffeebreakarcade. I loved the shit out of Area Flat, some shmup made by a japanese guy.

Eventually, when we got a new Computer
also got to play Homeworld and that game completely blew me away.

Also the whole time my dad got tonnes of edutainment games for me and my sister, so I have a huge softspot for edutainment games.

But did you experience as it was being release? I mean, maybe you experienced a little of 95-96, but other than that, the core would be much more fitting for you

I mean, my first and only console for years was a genesis, I loved watching Ren & Stimpy, Salute Your Shorts, Fresh Prince, Gargoyles, and TMNT. I owned that simpsons book and drank ecto cooler.

First three are perfect for my age range. Early millennial was apart of my life thanks in part to my older brother of six years. Otherwise I would have been just too young to experience most of that stuff. Core millennial is 110% me. Everything listed is a go. And finally late millennial would have been pre-teen/mid-teen me. Sucks to be a gen Z brat.

I want to go back so much.
I remember around 2005 I hated the feel of the times and the MTV culture

Now I would kill to go back, it was so damn cozy and chill

I was born in 84 but I still have a huge connection to the 80s partly because of my older brother and uncle and partly because I hated 90s music as soon as I realized it was different from 80s music.

>Born in 93
>However was the last child of the family so I got all the hand me downs and essentially got the best of both earth and core millennial culture
Pretty much the most optimal option of the bunch desu

But MTV was shit by 2005

Nah man
Mission Hill and Clone High

Late millennial culture
Early gen z and onward has shot "culture"
Can't even understand how they csn like some of the shit the entertainment industry puts out

Those ended before 2005

Oh
I don't know man
I'll be happy anytime pre-2007

'89 Core Millenial to a T.
And STILL finding out about new glitches in Gen 1 Pokemon.

[spoiler[THAT FUCKING MEW RUMOR WAS TRUE AFTER ALL

Nigger, Mission Hill is from like 1998.

Damn man

I was introduced to gaming with the Genesis, SNES, and N64 because people I knew had them. However during that time the Dreamcast was relevant and my first personal gaming device was the gameboy color.

most familiar with core millennial even though I was born in 98, probably because I was a poorfag

Non-American?

They're not even allowed to have culture now. It's all appropriated.

Early into Core.

Who '91 and core here?

1993 best year

Time flies.

American, but from the south

Early, i.e the only acceptable one there

Core squad here

>so many fellow core millenials
The 90s was truly humanity's golden age.

still cute as fuck

Born '89, Early/Core, but apart from the tv shows etc I dont even recognize that much games-wise. My dad built me a rickety computer when I was a lad and I never had any consoles growing up because I just went on to build my own, better pc once it became more affordable
My first home console was a ps3 and I bought that after entering university

I know it's a meme whenever people say the current decade/era is worse than the last but it really feels that way to me from 2010 onwards.

a mix of late millennial and early gen z culture

For me, 2007/2008 onwards is worse, since the recession

Core, but also rich third wolder so i experienced a lot of early stuff.

I remember shit from early, but i was a poorfag and didn't own a console until late in the N64s lifetime.

gen z starts at '95

You're an idiot

I'm sort of right on the early/core millenial border, but I was a poorfag, so in terms of what I actually got to experience, mostly Core.

Sup Forums fucking loves avatar what are you on about? anecdotal addition, my roommate owns the complete series and LoK as well.

There's no one date for these arbitrary things. I heard 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 all being used as Gen Z starting dates

90s kids are Generation Y, millenials are people that weren't old enough to remember the 90's.

>you will never wait in line to play Super Metroid on the SNES at Toys'R'Us
>you will never push yourself to get as far as you can before the timed auto-reset wipes your progress
... I think I just discovered the origin of speedruns.

you're an idiot

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.[3] They wrote about the cohort in their books Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069 (1991)[4] and Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation (2000).[3]

In August 1993, an Advertising Age editorial coined the phrase Generation Y to describe those who were aged 11 or younger as well as the teenagers of the upcoming ten years who were defined as different from Generation X.[5][6] According to journalist Bruce Horovitz, in 2012, Ad Age "threw in the towel by conceding that Millennials is a better name than Gen Y",[2] and by 2014, a past director of data strategy at Ad Age said to NPR "the Generation Y label was a placeholder until we found out more about them".[7]

The buildings that used to be Blockbuster in my town are now an optometrists office and a barber shop.

I think I had an even split between Core and Late Millennial. I'm glad too because Gen Z culture has been absolutely horrible.

You're a faggot, probably a millenial.

what year were you born in?

I always felt that my childhood comprised all the early to late millenical culture for some reason. Maybe my third world shithole got everything in a fucked up order. Honestly, even some early Gen Z shit gives me a pinch of nostalgia because shit changes so fast. Don't lie to me.

Same here, 87. Early was definitely the golden age.

It's a good thing that opinions and perseptions are maleable. I think it's appropriate for people at large to have a hand in defning terms referring to their generation.

The fact that the term Generation Y was coined in the 90's makes it more accurate than a term "millenial" coined in the 80's.

Nothing cringier than teenagers being nostalgic for Modern Warfare 2, parkour and dubstep.

I'm fairly certain my former blockbuster is cursed. Because the building has gone through like 12 different hands and they always go out of business.
After Blockbuster, it was a pawn shop, they an aerobics center, then a locksmith's store, then a daycare, then a tattoo parlor... I think right now it's a sandwich shop.

'96

Core-Late

Suprised you don't have the ogDS on their. that shit was childhood defining

You first

>millennial
>hardly in any years after the new millennium
Social scientists are stupid
This picture should gauge what my game tastes were generally like growing up, last row needs a hard update though

Late millenial, with distinct and very fond memories of core. My first console that was "mine" was an N64, and I also got a Game Boy Color probably the year before (Maybe that year? Can't remember.) I stopped really caring about cartoons and most shows around '07, but I still played a shit ton of video games.

Born in '85, got started in late millennial era playing core millennial games. Early childhood I played Sonic 2 and an old ass RPG a little but I was more interested in jungle gyms and bikes back then.

Core

Pokémon/sega saturn/dreamcast life

Core.

N64 and Gamecube and so many great games it's truly amazing and saddening that we'll never return to those days

What's with the late start in life?

>Toys'R'Us is now going bankrupt

That see through corded phone belongs in early millennial. Nobody had those things past 1993. They were a very brief fad from like 91 to 93.

I'm still mad that we never got Eternal Darkness 2. I will always be mad.

I thought they were from the late 90s when technology was bubbly

1977, my first gaming experience was on an atari vcs 2600 then c64 and amiga 500. spend most my time in college on playstation and n64, good time getting high and playing split screen games with friends

Katie Tiedrich is around 25 years old though

Depends on where you lived. Where I was, they were still being sold well into '98.

I just wasn't really into video games until high school. My best friend at the time really insisted I try his childhood favorites once I started hanging out with him and a few other dudes after school and through the summers. They'd play new shit like MGS2 or Halo and I'd crash course getting used to gaming basics like not getting lost in Lon Lon Ranch and shit.

He's talking about the Cameron movie

early Gen Z. Had a xbox and ps2 in mid-late 2000s. Only got a 360 in 2011.

Name a better game.

Which means she was born in the early 90s. Meaning she fits into the "late millennial" thing, as well as the core

>That based create a character where you could make monsters and shit

So ahead of its time.

Oh well the more you know.
Late 90s for me at least was more iMacs and PCs daring to be a color other than beige.

Starts at 2000. Anyone who says otherwise is a fag.

>there are people in college right now who never had a corded phone in their lives

I'm having a very hard time grasping the scale here. Some things in this image, like the bionicle container and vcr? look way too large.

I fucking loved her.

Billion dollar idea: Amiibos in the shape of pogs.

Fucking hell I didn't even see it. just the TLA screenshot in late.

Core millenial here, just missed pogs but was fucking 8 when LoZ OoT came out, the best age for such a grand adventure.

Probably because it's the old vcr from the family tv. Not everything would be brand new. I know nothing about that late millennial Bionicle shit and I intend to keep it that way.

user did you wanna play the fuck out of that game like i did

also worms and plastic minnows

Me too until she turned into a slut.

core millenial, but there is some overlap with late millenial.

may have to do with the fact that a European chart would look a little differently.

Dexter is true art which transcends generation.
