Same. I like the term “Xennial” for those of us who were born I’m the early 80s. I definitely feel like I am both X and Millennial sometimes.

atrielienz ,

Somewhat elder millennial.

Miellenial, right in the middle

scytale ,

I consider myself an older millennial as people born until the late 90’s are still considered millennials.

apotheotic ,

Generation 4, Diamond was my first and my best friend had Pearl

Serious answer, I’m on the border between millennial and gen z

It’s Pokemon games.

apotheotic ,

As @Zagorath mentioned, its a pokemon thing. Those happened to be the current gen game when I was of the age of interest in them.

apotheotic ,

Gen X. Aka: The feral generation. We were left to our own devices and most of us turned out fine.

Now get offa muh lawn! shakes fist

atrielienz ,

You know what’s kind of funny. Both my parents identify as Gen X. Both of them are actually Baby Boomer’s. With the pre-requisite feral children. But I’m a millennial and it’s kind of funny that having grown up basically a feral child my generation doesn’t get to claim that.

Valmond ,

Same here.

ZagamTheVile ,

Same. Raised on neglect and hose water.

Sorry, can’t stay. The street lights just came on.

That’s a great image, love it

Annoyed_Crabby ,

You call it feral, i call it free range.

Nikls94 ,

Huh… I never thought of that in this specific way.

When we were kids, and I was born 1994, our parents both had to work to acquire enough income to afford things, making us rely on ourselves. Parents did not pay that much for babysitters back then, no? And us kids weren’t being watched by GPS or something 24/7.

But it’s a tight window, and it depends on the family how long it stays open. I know some people born in 1997 who are like this, and others who aren’t.

Knowing about 2girls1cup, 1man1jar, that creepy car zombie coffee advert, other shock content… we were desensitised to gore and shock content. We played on MS Paint for hours.

Our parents did not know what we were doing, and it was… I’d say it was good.

Aatube ,

gen Z but i feel a lot more like a millenial

This separation into "generations" is such bullshit. It's just another way to divide the haves from the have-nots. If you blindly believe that generations define you, you're the problem. You're making it easy to be controlled and find another person to concentrate on while your rights, your liberties, your opportunities, and your privacy get slowly taken away from you.

TootSweet ,

I’m on the older end of millenial.

Skua ,

Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can't afford a house, so I'm hitting the stereotypes

pedka OP ,
@pedka@lemmy.ml avatar

cant afford a thing and love some good toast with a latte too

HubertManne ,

apparently my high school epitomed the Xer slacker stereotype for the middle of it.. They have these signs along the fence listing accolades and awards for different teams and clubs. There is this gap that goes between the late seventies and the early nineties. Outside of that there is something for like every year. Then I know for my year there was a half hearted attempt at a 25yr reunion I think from pressure from administration to some of the folks who had been student council or such. Anyway it imploded likely cause folks like me said they would not go.

TropicalDingdong ,

Early millennial. Depped into the Navy about 5 months after 9/11.

Penguincoder ,

The older, but not the oldest one… Gen-X.

Gen Z.
Don’t care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.

Draegur ,

Elder millennial here. Born in 1985.

The millennials watched several thousand people die on live television when we were kids and then everything went downhill from there. I was in high school in September 2001. Old enough to just barely understand what was happening, too young to do jack shit about it. Frightened, we looked to guidance from our Gen-X and Boomer teachers and elders. They told us to sit down, shut up, do as we were told, and everything would be fine. By and large, we did. By and large, nothing, not one fucking thing, ended up fine.

I say this to illustrate that this is why, and how, we are the DOOMER generation. We got piled on with the baggage and bondage of manipulation and lies from the Boomers who climbed the social ladder and then pulled it up behind them, and their Gen-X toadies who rode their coattails half way up hoping they wouldn’t get noticed and shaken off to land back down here in the dirt with the rest of us.

And the thing that sets the Zoomers apart is that you witnessed this happening, every single crucial step of the betrayal from every authority figure from the president on down to the homeroom teacher, and by gods… You Learned.

Zoomers, in my view, seem to possess a preternatural hyper-awareness that any promise made by anyone who has something they can take from you is good for nothing. Some people say “Zoomers don’t give a shit” like it’s supposed to be an insult. HA. No. I see what’s really happening. They’re jealous. Giving a shit was a mistake. It was a mistake we Doomers made. And I am pleased, if not in awe, when I see Zoomers not falling for the bait. You have largely withdrawn yourselves from the rat race, and now it’s running out of rats. Maybe now those fucking rats can finally starve holed up and isolated in their mazes. You, meanwhile, may very well build a better way to live. And whether or not I get to participate, I love to see it.

Go get 'em, Zoomers.

dunno man. maybe that hyper-awarness shit is true, but i am overwhelmed by it. i fucking hate this government, the bullshit that they feed us, the lies, the invigilation, all of it. it makes me sick. this world sucks so fucking much and i feel pretty hopeless about it, which is infuriating. i wish i was born earlier

Draegur ,

Tell you something homie:

Having no hope is, in my opinion, better than having false hope. You aren’t waiting around for some external savior to recognize that you’re struggling and swoop in to rescue you. You know that anything you get will arrive to you only by clawing it from the cold dead hands of the elders.

Yeah it sounds bleak but realize this: THEY don’t know that.

THEY, those fucking parasite boomers in their ivory towers, think you’re just like the millennial doomers who will roll over obediently and then do no worse than look sad and make sad noises when we get cheated ALL OVER AGAIN.

When they turned their back on US, we stayed docile, simpering, begging. When they turn their back on YOU, you are going to stab them thirty six times, slash their throats, and dig out their organs with a shiv fashioned out of one of their precious participation trophies, and eat them raw and howling.

… Or at least some of you will. And I for one hope that when it starts happening, we doomers will either stay out of the way, or for ONCE in our FUCKING LIVES stand up to protect you from the death throes of the worst generation.

You have it in you. It’s growing. Keep feeding it.

Zangoose ,

I’m also Gen Z and this was me for a while as well. Something that really helped me is not focusing as much on all of the million things going wrong that are way out of my control, and taking smaller steps wherever I can to try to make things better. That shift in perspective has made a lot of things more manageable and less overwhelming even if I still ultimately have the same negative outlook on everything that’s going on right now.

Today ,

Yes, watching people die on tv does sound much worse than being drafted for Vietnam or living with the daily thought that Russia had a bomb and we could all die any day.

Draegur ,

NOBODY WAS DRAFTED INTO VIETNAM WHEN THEY WERE FUCKING TWELVE DIPSHIT

AND, MOTHER FUCKER, YOU DO NOT GET TO INSINUATE THAT THE “DUCK AND COVER” CARTOONS WERE SOMEHOW MORE TRAUMATIZING THAN CODE GRAY DRILLS, LET ALONE SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIRECTLY EXPERIENCING ACTUAL FUCKING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

FUCK. OFF. IN. HELL.

at least Vietnam veterans could afford a fucking home when they got back

You know what, STAY fucked off. I don’t need filth like you in my feed. BLOCKED.

NakariLexfortaine ,

Millennial, I guess? Dead on early '90, so I think that about fits.
