If you don't remember where you were when you heard Kurt Cobain died you're a millennial piece of poo poo. Then again millennials in general seem much more open and accepting people so idk fuk all y'all

I wasn't that into music or Nirvana at the time, I was instead listening to a lot of Right-Wing Radio. I do remember Rush Limbaugh referring to him as a waste of skin and not ever turning in to right wing radio again, though.

If you've never gazed in wonderment of the greatness that was the Sears and Roebuck Wishbook, then you do not understand what it truly is to dream big. Also: Atari 2600 Pitfall master checking in.

We were cool, but now we are just slightly ashamed. Also, millenials can go suck a dick.

1973 Checking in here. Baby photos are black and white. So were the first 2 television sets in my house. Watched Madonna sing 'Holiday' during the first week of Channel 4. Saw L7's vagina on 'the word'. Saved toothpaste boxes to get my first records, Frankie goes to Hollywood and Culture Club. They turned off the music and rolled in the AV cart into the youth club disco to let us watch Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' when it came out. Betamax crew checkin' in. Wore cycle pants, over sized t-shirts, sideways cap and British Knights to clubs. De La Soul on repeat. 2 unlimited played my local rave-disco. Over hydrated to 'not die' on ecstasy. First car was a 1977 Austin Princess, with an 8 track player. First computer was a sinclair spectrum. Manic Miner owns everyone. I still don't consider myself Gen anything really.

Serious question, what was it like living in the 90s? From everything I can find, being in your 20s or so during the 90s would have been super loving awesome.

Being from Generation X you can remember the evening news and seeing the votes the Baby Boomers and Silent Generation were making and hearing the occasional voice of concern asking if this would gently caress their children and their children down the road. You're hosed

1982 I remember turning on the tv and telling my parents there was a dude in a white Bronco being chased by police I remember trading porn JPEGs on AOL 1.0 in black and white and it took five minutes to download each one I remember watching power rangers and saved by the bell after school I remember only getting a tv in my room when I was home sick. The tv was black and white and had both UHF and VHF dials I remember Sega Game Gear and Genesis, and having a magazine insert with all the codes for NBA JAM Tournament Edition where you could play as mascots and dunk all the way across the court

Marv Albert posted:Pretty sure 9/11 was the dividing line between millenial-gen-x 'tweeners. Like if you weren't already so broken, cynical, high and intoxicated on 9/11 like it was just another day, and the impact of the CNN footage didn't resonate with you as such, you're probably just another millenial who should be summarily executed by being banned IRL from your cell phone or being sent to debtor's prison for your imprudent student and car loans. When the second plane hit I just mumbled "terrorists win" and turned back to my computer. Then we all went home for some reason.

actionjackson posted:1982 1981 - Oregon Trail Generation *Communism was a real and serious threat until the Berlin Wall fell a few years later as a direct result of Rocky IV. Definitely a special few years that are either lumped in at the end of GenX or the beginning of the millennials that don't belong in either. This article that nobody will read is spot on about the Oregon Trail Generation: http://socialmediaweek.org/blog/2015/04/oregon-trail-generation/ E: "Gen Xers were already fully formed teens or young adults when computers became mainstream and millenials can't remember a time before computers."
