Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 This is why I get irritated whenever I hear older generations bitching about millennials as they are on the whole far more responsible than previous ones when it comes to these types of issues.

Are they more responsible or just too tied up in social media to bother getting high and laid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I would say if you can't remember a time without the internet, you are millennial. Another one is tapes: both of the music and vhs kind: If you don't know what those are ,or have never used them, you are a millennial. Granted, our daughter is only in second grade, but my wife and I were having some type of conversation and VHS tapes came up, and I had to explain to our daughter what a "tape" was, and how I wasn't talking about taping something together. So I'm sure some politically minded millennials are really confused when the news keeps on talking about Omarosa's "tapes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo! Though kids currently in high school are not millenials. I'm 31 and people tell me I'm a millenial, and I do not believe I am in the same group as kids currently in high school.

Rodimus Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 You guys realize that the Millennials Generation are at least 19 years old at the youngest these days and the high school kids are in the generation after Millennials (1981-2000). Also I guess this doesn't count for the increase in teen pregnancies. They might be having less sex because they are getting knocked up at 16.

Chris- Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah, what the fuck? I had a whole collection of VHS tapes (family didn't own a DVD player until the PS2), and my mom made her own custom mixtapes for the deck in our Dodge Caravan.

Chris- Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The best delineation is still the first major news event you (1) remember witnessing, and (2) understood the consequences it would have on society. For me, that would be Columbine (I remember OJ's trial, Clinton's impeachment, and Princess Diana's death, but I didn't really 'get' them at the time).

We're millenials, I think, but on the oldest end. I agree, millenials know what VCR's are and what VHS tapes are. Maybe the youngest millenials don't?

PaladinSolo Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah, DVDs/CDs weren't the dominate mediums till mid 90s, and casettes were still in cars in the 2000s, i've also used a rotary phone, i'm 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can define it that way, but it's not the generally agreed on term (which still isn't super agreed on so technically you aren't wrong). But millennials are people born between 81 and 97. So the vast majority of them should know life before internet, VHS, floopy disks, landlines, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Basically, if you can remember 9/11 but not the Challenger blowing up, you're a millennial. That's how I define it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember life without internet, and I had a Sony Walkman and a fuckload of VHS tapes back in the day. I was 15 when I got my first DVD player. I'm a millennial and I'm 31.

finaljedi Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Millennial is the goofiest “generation” definition there is. You have people from their late teens who don’t recall life without internet and don’t recall 9/11 and people in their early to mid 30s who remember when people didn’t have cell phones and owned a Walkman once upon a time.
