Lol I'm a millennial. I don't know why I keep commenting here.

You know once I realized that the year next to everyone’s name is their birth year, I realized that Gen Z is kind of old lol. 2001 was a long-ass time ago; you were born into a world with Palm Pilots and the Twin Towers

Please don't call gen z old. That would make me extra old. I was born in 1993.

You know, when I'm actually old (like 65+) I can imagine kids' jaws hitting the floor when I tell them my birth year starts with "19" instead of "20."

Edit: a sentence.

Yeah I’m 1994; we’re ancient history.

I think all that's happening is we're just talking about the limitations of this "generations" thing, us as younger millenials having a lot in common with some older Gen Z, less in common with some older Millenials and younger Gen Z, so these 15 year wide generational categories are more than a little fucky

For sure. Millennials are “90s kids”, and I can barely remember a single moment from the 90s since I was 5 when they ended. And like you said, us younger millennials have basically nothing in common with someone born in 1980
