Millennials

When people on Sup Forums reference or rant about "millennials" (i.e. "millennials don't know what a VHS is"), they are always insulting *just* the tail-end Millennials. Saying "millennials" is just simpler and catchier than saying "late millennials".

Earlier millennials (born 1980-1994) grew up pre-9/11 and played outside. They grew up without social networking, smartphones, and wifi. They can remember when it was ok to "homophobic" publicly. They knew what things were like before the world was flooded with east european immigrants. They are more right wing than other generations, more likely to start their own business or be self employed than other youth generations. They grew up having crushes on Britney spears, Christina aguilera, [spoiler]Sailor moon, Misty, and Dark magician girl[/spoiler] - having crushes on girls is something that any normal boy who's not mentally ill should have. They actually look like men and have testosterone, unlike the end millennials.

Tail-end millennials (born 1995-2000) grew up in the post-9/11 society and seem to be effeminate, promote SJW shit more than older millennials, and they also shout memes in real life. They don't remember life before the Interent and social networking. They grew up having crushes on Justin bieber and Harry styles, not girls, because the liberal media told them it was "cool" to be effeminate and "experimental". They are the crazy ass liberals that you see on news stories or comedy shows about college campuses.

See the difference?

1986'er here. Can confirm this is legit.

Born in '95 and Harry styles I my hero

I grew up listening to beiber since I was in elementary school.

Nothing wrong with being a late millennial

I'm a 'tail end millennial' and I've seen more cucks being 'millenials millenials'

I agree but... I mean now what. We're nothing but people complaining about the next generation. Just like our parents freaked out about Mortal Kombat were freaking out about canine blow jobs or whatever.

See. All of the people who ive grew up with that were 2 or 3 years older than me are shit posting about muh homo rights and stuff.

But 95-2000 Millennials are the ones who identify as genderqueer and chop off their penises more often.

I don't seen 22-36 year olds doing that shit.

t. 22 year old cuck that's insecure about all the 21 year olds superior to him

I was born in '92 and I don't think I fit most of those things supposedly relating to early millennials in your post.

It is annoying to see people misusing the word so much though.

The "early millenials" are Generation Y. The Millenials are those tail-end ones you're talking about. I don't know why the term Gen Y isn't used more. The difference in the two groups is obvious.

This, 1995 master race reporting in.

Pic related, OP getting suplexed by 21 year old alphas.

Millennial as a term means people born from 1985 to 1995 or something. OP's image says 1980 to 2000 but most of what I've read is a bit narrower.

>what is silent majority
Most millenials aren't retarded. Sup Forums is more or less 100% millenial for fuck sake. I'm 18 and the people my age I encounter all seem to be shitlords, or at the very least find 3rd wave feminism laughable. Even grills.

Perhaps it's a United States phenomenon. Here, all the 95-00 millennials are dumb liberal pieces of shit from what I've seen.

>he doesn't remember 9/11

People outside of the U.S. didn't give a shit about 9/11.

Think outside of the box, burger.

I cry everytime
>Not caring about happenings

People born past 95 are so significantly different that they should have their own generation. My nephew born in 2000 can't manipulate a non touch screen camera.

How should we name this generation now?

Gen Z

>tfw born in 1979

At least Gen X doesn't sound as faggy as Millennial.

X Y Z generation is the worst naming scheme ever. What will be the next one? A1? Actually it's a perfect name as they will just be another forgettable generation.

>tfw 1994

They call it Gen Alpha

Generation Alpha

Thanks, since my son is of that cohort let's hope it's not as shitty as the previous one.

>They knew what things were like before the world was flooded with east european immigrants.
topkek are you a britbong or a spic?

US was "flooded" with eastern europeans in the early 20th century. US has been flooded with spics in the last 30 years and northern states were flooded with niggers in the 50s and 60s.

The worst bit is being born in 85 and being lumped in with all these degenerates and nu-males

Any generational term that believes someone born 15 years before widespread use of the internet is the same as someone born afterwards is completely useless.

There's a very distinct shift between people born ~87/88 and those who turned 18 after the widespread adoption of twitter, facebook etc.

We can influence the collective subconscious Kek can be anything we collectively make him.

semantics
who gives a shit

>USA in 1960

this

well not really though because everyone this age just started acting like faggots anyway but hey

im 1991 and my sister is 1994. such a huge difference between us two, BUT i can not relate to a good majority of my year. my fiance is 1989 and all of his friends are still bluepilled as fuck. he has one friend who i like a lot because he owns and shoots guns on the regular, knows how to drink, has old-style hospitality, his parents are super loving but not helicopter and they're all voting trump. but no millenials are safe.
i dont care if they played outside or remember any of that shit. they're SJW feminist retards and i hate almost all of them. my fiance was one of those "omg im apolitical fuck politics" until we got together. that's best case scenario.

>When people on Sup Forums reference or rant about "millennials" (i.e. "millennials don't know what a VHS is"), they are always insulting *just* the tail-end Millennials. Saying "millennials" is just simpler and catchier than saying "late millennials".

that is how it is used 99% of the time by everyone in every context

for all practical purposes "mllenials" just refers to the late millenials, the usage of the word and whatever definitions exist out there are entirely in conflict there becaue early millenials and late millenials are nowhere near the same thing
early millenials have much more in common with the late of the gen x than the late millenials

OP was born in 1994.

He doesn't remember when Chrono Trigger came out.

Mostly true.

>tail-end millennial
Yes, born in 2000.

>seem to be effeminate
Yes, all my male peers behave like betas. They are not that kind of sissy effeminate, but would rather serve a woman than assert himself.

>promote SJW
Yes, they are usually fedoras, pro gays; I am talking here about the ones from better high schools, because the one from the worse ones are usually more stupid but more conservative as well. Conservative and smart isn't a common thing in Romanians born between 1995 and 2002, unfortunately.

>shout memes in real life
I used to do that in 2014 when I had just discovered Sup Forums, r/dankmemes and some subs about tumblr feminists, but I have winded down since then. But most of the people who do this are usually 9gaggers, or maximum they go on /b or reddit.

>they grew up having crushed on Justin bieber
True for girld and not for boys.

>they are the crazy ass liberals that you see on nees stories or comedy shoes about college campuses
Not all of them, but most bear the ideal of the "average free teenager".

They are more degenerate than the other generations but not as degenerate as you think

>Admitting to being underage
Kiss yourself goodbye

>Yes, born in 2000.
incoming ban.

I was just trying to inform the people on this thread on the matter.

When did we stop calling it Gen Y and start calling them 'millennials'?

The most defining trait of every Millennial is that they feel too super special to be a Millennial.

They should have called it the fucking Snowflake Generation.

WTF i'm a millennial?

I'm 32 goddamn years old, this is ridiculous.

>born in 2000

Good night sweet prince

97 fag here

I remember 9/11 since I was there. If you grew up middle class or lower, you know what a damn cassette or vhs is. Had a fax, answering machine, vCr, and portable CD player in the house. Played sports and games outside on the street/park. It's not like we grew up on iPads and macs, that's the generation born after 2000.

I'm 18 and I guarantee I'm more redpilled than anyone in this thread

no you're not a millenial, millenials start at 1985
we were already dubbed gen x in the early 90's

ofcourse millenials don't know this cause they were too young to remember this

"18"

>Tail-end millennials (born 1995-2000) grew up in the post-9/11 society and seem to be effeminate, promote SJW shit more than older millennials, and they also shout memes in real life

FUCK YOU BECAUSE OF YOU FUCKS AND EVERYONE BEFORE IN THIS FUCKING GENERATION. WE ARE THE FUCKING ONES THAT WILL BE FUCKING DRAFTED INTO WORLD WAR THREE AND IT IT WILL BE US THAT WILL EITHER FUCKING SAVE THIS FUCKING PLANET OR FUCKING DESTROY IT WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF NUKES ONE IN FOR ALL.

You literally admitted to being 16 you little shit, just get banned and stay banned

>'remembers' 911
>was 4
fuck off

See, I am often curious, but too lazy too check if generational labels apply cross culturally?

I was 9 when it happened and I don't even really remember it. I just remember my mom saying one day that something happened and that they might talk about it at school but I don't remember when exactly I learned about what happened.

>What will be the next one?
There will be no one.


This is the end.

I was born in 93, and there's still a lot of cool people out there. The thing is they're in hiding. People with any sense of reason are done voicing their opinions in the open, because they're smart enough to know it can get picked up by anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Social media outside of mindless entertainment has turned into a case of "anything you say can and will be used against you." Except it's not even the gov't, it's your own fucking neighbors.

It's like a witch hunt.

I was 12 and I remember it distinctly. I was pissed off that the TV station was airing news coverage of the event and not my morning Dragonball Z.

...

I was born in 95. Why must you disparage my people? I can't wait until tumblr gets ahold of you. LOL YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SHOW YOUR FACE THERE AGAIN, SHITLORD.

Pic related: It's me after my transition.

Wtf happened to the term GenY???

I was born in 1996 and I fit the first description more. Especially the Dark Magician Girl one.

Whoa are you from the future?

Yeaaahhhh- 85 here. Gen X does blend into 80s born kids- but the term Gen Y was used for a long freaking time. There is a stark difference between those born in 80s and early/mid 90s than the late 90s/00s

It's really confusing, like some berenstain bears shit. I've always heard it called Gen Y, there used to be a TV quiz show in Australia that had Boomers vs Gen X vs Gen Y, and that was relatively recent. It's just in the last year, maybe two, that all of a sudden everyone is saying 'millenials' and no one will acknowledge that Gen Y is a thing.

Because it was Gen Y, as it was trying to form a label it was still young. As gen Z is still young waiting for the label. The reason you may think Gen X is your category is that until about 8 years gen X wasn't defined or large enough block of buying, voting power. We've broken the crest and have become Gen Millennials.

getting a job is easy

moving out is the hard part
>captcha asks me to choose food
>another reminder that I will never have home cooked meals ever again in my life
not having parents anymore sucks

Born in 89 and I remember the time before the social networks, whatsapp and smartphone with cameras everywhere. There were really only few people with shitty cameras in their cellphones. Jesus you can't go outside into the town or spend your holiday somewhere at sea without getting in someones camera selfy shot. Surveillance, observation, documentation everywhere you go...
Too bad I was not born sooner. The 90s might have been like a paradise.

Learn to cook you faggot

I don't think I'm Gen X I think I'm Gen Y and also think that millennials is an awful name

Early millenial here. 1987. OP's description fits me exactly I did all those things.

Late millenials are a completely different breed they shouldn't even be considered the same thing it's just confusing.

79 here. The 90's were carefree as fuck in Midwestern US. I played outside all day every day and Nintendo at night for a bit. 60's and 70's would have been better. 80's sucked because music

>Wtf happened to the term GenY???
>It's just in the last year, maybe two, that all of a sudden everyone is saying 'millenials' and no one will acknowledge that Gen Y is a thing.

Yeah, no.
Early on, Gen Y was lazily used for those born between 1980 and 2000, kind of how Gen Z is used as a placeholder for the generation born from 2000 on. The term 'Millennial' was coined in 1991 in the book 'Generations', and replaced Gen Y because it was descriptive of the last generation born before the turn of the millennium.

Millennials are so preoccupied with being special that they still try to use Gen Y as a way of saying "Look at me! I'm not a Millennial, I'm too special for that. I'm Gen Y.

Fuck off.
You aren't special. Gen Y and Millennial are the same thing.

81 here. All you born in the 90s are queers, and only thought about your faggy cartoons not being on when 9/11 happened

>Earlier millennials (born 1980-1994) grew up pre-9/11 and played outside. They grew up without social networking, smartphones, and wifi

This

Born 85 and that's the life style I had growing up.

You went out with groups of your friends and all of us knew we had to be home by the time the street lights came on.

Now I don't see fuck all kids playing on the street compared to when I was a kid.
All inside playing bloody mine craft and playing with tablets and smart phones.

who 96 here?

Fuck you, it interrupted my weekly morning cartoons and made my cereal taste like shit after watching jet fuel melt steel beams. I was also 4, I know what VHS is and I'm pretty sure people actually are bashing 2000+ generations simply because of how faggotry has evolved into complete degeneracy. I remember a time before high speed internet and I went to school came home and played on my N64 and PS1. Just because you can't remember shit when you were 4 doesn't mean I can't.

89 here.

Got to watch the world change before my eyes, early Internet, knowing a world before and after 9/11...

It's been a crazy fucking ride and I understand why people become NEET (even though I've escaped it myself)

I was Born in 1995, most people my age are all caught up in social media and left-wing bullshit of today's world.

Fucking Boomer leaf. Thanks for sucking up the entire western civilization surplus and giving the debt to your kids.

Baby Boomers were born right after WWII. So born from like the 50s to 60s.

>literally almost zero difference between the behaviors of generation x and the boomers. (Tradition of passing the iou's to their kids because they're scum.)

Are you so extra super special that you need every single year listed out for you?

A generation is roughly 20 years, they blur a bit at the edges. And NO, the edges aren't 10 fucking years.

Start at midnight on December 31, 1999 and count backwards. I don't feel like typing out every goddamned year for you.

What exactly is the quantity of 1 marijuana?

About 2 cocain in weight but 4 heroin in volume.

>98 here

My memory of 9/11 is 50/50. I remember being up early, watching Thomas the Tank Engine on the massive dishwashing machine (TV). Mum was also awake, as usual. But pop came in earlier than he usually would, I don't remember what they said, but I remember they changed the channel, & I got pissed.

My mum recorded the footage of the 2nd plane crashing on my tape of 'Thomas the Tank Engline & the magical rail road' (The movie).I still remember watching the movie years after 9/11. After the movie finished, it always cut to the 2nd plane crashing. Almost everyday I viewed this. Very unsettling. But made me curious of what it was. I asked mum eventually & she told me everything.

It's aggravating as fuck that they lump people born in the 80s with these retarded, entitled, oblivious sacks of shit born in the mid 90s and later.

I was born in 1984. I didn't have cable TV for most of my childhood. I played outside in my neighborhood on a daily basis. My prized possession was my shitty Huffy from Toys R Us and I was always jealous of that one kid who had a GT Dyno. My television was literally a giant piece of wooden furniture, and I couldn't play my NES/Genesis/SNES if my dad was home. First computer was a Gateway 2000 that my dad bought in 96. Had dial up AOL until I was in high school, and I used a hacked version of Net Zero to look at porn.

I witnessed vinyl to cassette to cd to iPod to streaming.

I had a Nokia cellphone when I was 15 (because I had a fucking JOB bagging groceries 5 days a week). I remember being at school the morning of 9/11, hearing fighter jets scramble overhead (in Boston).

In school we were never allowed to use online sources for anything, everything had to be sourced from a hard copy publication. Kids weren't on cellphones in class, we were sneakily using gameboys or graphing calculators.

I've worked full time since I was 14. I have fought in two wars, I have been married, I own a home, and I feel a profound disconnect to almost everyone who is more than a couple years younger than me.

Judging by my own siblings, I'd say the cutoff is around 1992. My younger sister was born in 92. She still lives at home, went to school for a degree she doesn't use, travels constantly, and quits every job that isn't magical and fulfilling, even some really good foot-in-the-door opportunities at a couple different Fortune 500 companies. She feels entitled to immediate happiness and comfort, and all of her friends are the same.

I really think there needs to be a different term for people born in the 80s. I don't know if there has ever been such a massive disconnect between age groups of the same generation.

>born in 84

Guess i'm stuck with you fucks.

1982 here, can confirm I'm not a little faggot bitch like everyone else born after that year.

The latter got out of elementary school before the marxist grip got too hard

t. I had sex ed classes without any talk of trans* or queer whatsoever (closest we got was generic "use condoms" mentioned w/ anal sex in a video about male/female intercourse, then a quick "... or when two of the same sex do it" added by the teacher, followed by chuckles/more important things to care about).

Nowadays our "National Org./Ministry of Sexual Equality" [who previously lobby'd for pedohile 'rights', still not having disavowed this to this day] have tried pushing for educating minors about very-adult-things like fisting (at least they did some couple years ago). More recently they stated that our recent "alone-coming refugees"/gibsmedat rapists deserve Sexual Education, ie teaching them to talk things through with potential rape victims (despite not speaking swedish well enough).

as to not go off on a tangent, most millenials born 1995- approve of this because >equality, >global citizens, and whatever Tumblrina phenomena you have in the States - it has infected us too

btw

>, [spoiler]Sailor moon, Misty, and Dark magician girl[/spoiler] - having crushes on girls is something that any normal boy

Having __crushes___ on 2D chicks is not normal tho

IMO "millennials" when used online refers to people who remember nothing from the 20th century, so people who were 4 in 2000

Honestly I don't understand where sjws enter Israel from.
>Tfw everyone are Jews
>Tfw probably lefty parents

I mostly blame our youth organizations.
Every time I talk to someone from one of those, they are really into the sjw nonsense.

Even wara and ethnic conflict aren't enough in the end.
But I think that the internet entered society differently here than the US.

>In school we were never allowed to use online sources for anything, everything had to be sourced from a hard copy publication.

People suffering from ADHD because lacking patience to look things up in print books = sad

>I had a Nokia cellphone when I was 15 (because I had a fucking JOB bagging groceries 5 days a week).

I can't speak for the US, but cellphone prices have dropped continously over here. Shit-tier 2G/GPRS phones (b/w screen, 2 lines of screen estate for texts, etc) cost a fortune compared to budget-range smartphones capable of iPhone-esque tasks (but w/ shitty battery life and durability) today

>, I'd say the cutoff is around 1992. /.../ and quits every job that isn't magical and fulfilling

I think you're on to something there, the globalized """""post-scarcity""" (electronics manifactured by slave labor in 3rd world instead of locally) Pop Idol-society makes people think everything has to be fun _all the time_.

My amateur guess is that "Social Media" websites like facebook made the Internet Forum/BBS culture explode 2fast and now people have to look things up or post memes too many hours of the week

Gen Z is based. Gen Z will save the world. They are infused with the spirit of Kek. Do not underestimate them.

Born in 93

It quite jarring, seeing the world change.

I still dont understand how children are raised now, I'm sure theres tons of extracurriculars afterschool but theres no real "kid" archetype anymore. Being a "kid" is gone and has been gone for quite a long time.

Cartoons and all forms of media are aimed at kids and adults, all movies are aimed at young adults, there are less responsible parents who are moreso friends to their chidren than anything. Less barbecues, less ball games, less camping trips, hikes and fishing.

Its wierd, but I cant say I'm shocked

I've been bitching and complaining since 2008 about the internet and its virtue signaling for attention. People wont allow kids to be kids anymore what with the "cringe" stigma and autism being thrown left and right, fags wont even let them build their own generational identity, the second they latch onto something to call their own it gets shit on or ignored because

>omg thats so fucking cringe this is so fucking dumb

Millennials are an entire generation of stunted self-deprecating pussies with no real identity.

and I feel bad for them because Gen Y should have been more encouraging, Gen Y should have grown up by now.(Gen Y being 1985-1994)

Maybe it's just an Australian thing but this show aired from 09-12 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talkin'_'Bout_Your_Generation and it used "Gen Y" not "Millennials". I've almost never heard anyone in Australia use the term "Millennial" until recently.
