So have we given up trying to figure out what the hell a Millenial even is at this point and just using it for anyone under 65?

Niwrad posted:I find myself skipping the TNF or MNF games to watch something on Netflix a lot more than I used to. I don't really even know why. Maybe there are better options available, maybe it's the excess commercials, maybe I don't have the attention span I used to. Still love RedZone Channel to death but watching regular season games that the Bears aren't in have just gotten boring to me. NFL games are too loving long and start too late. Not only that, but now it's quite easy to catch highlights online of games in a match of the day (British Premier League highlight show) format. Why would you stay up until 11:30 to watch a game that has two teams you don't care about when you can catch a 5 minute highlight reel the next morning? And yes Sash!, pretty much. To TV execs/baby boomer, a millennial is any human being who doesn't conform to their marketing standards.

Yeah, ignoring the ethical issues I have with the NFL as a whole, the games take for-loving-ever, there's far less choice in what I can see (compared to college), and the whole event is just so sanitized and milquetoast that it almost becomes a victim of its own success. I don't doubt the talent level of the NFL is well above that of the college game but when the celebration is taken out, the pagentry is taken out, and you can pretty easily predict most outcomes, it just kills it for me. It doesn't help that being in NW Ohio, if I wanted to watch the NFL, I'm stuck with watching two of the worst NFL franchises of the last 20 years. Back when I did still watch the NFL, I would usually watch the Sunday Night game, but I don't think I've watched MNF since.... christ, maybe the mid 2000s. I've never seen a Thursday night game.

It's pretty ridiculous how it sometimes includes people born as early as 1980. It should really be "people who have always had ubiquitous access to the internet", which is at least 1990 and maybe even later.

I have no idea if I'm a "Millennial" or not. Somehow people born 2 years before me and their kids are both Millennials? Which one is it.

Do you dislike someone for no real reason? Are they your age? If yes, they're hipsters. Are they younger than you? If yes, they're millennials. Are they older than you? If yes, they're out of touch coots

Funny thing is college football ratings haven't fallen off a cliff. I say a lot of it is matchups, I mean look at the next Sunday/Monday night games

Vertical Lime posted:Funny thing is college football ratings haven't fallen off a cliff. it's definitely matchups, but it's also that college ball is a shitload more accessible too. You can see drat near every game out there with a basic cable package. With the NFL I'd see 2 CBS games at 1 and 4PM, 1 Fox game at 4PM, and the NBC night game on Sundays. Meanwhile on Saturday with basic cable I could jump around 7-8 games from Noon to 3:30, another batch of 7 until 7-8PM, 4-5 primetime ones, and a couple late night Pac-12 games and maybe Hawaii if I felt like it.

Complaining about generation definitions is a little silly. You're a Baby Boomer if you were born between 1946 and 1964, so it's an 18 year time span. Millennials are a 20 year time span, so it's about the same. It will always be a huge generalization because even 10 year differences can be huge.

Awful Announcing posted:This season has seen lower ratings for the National Football League and as a result, the league’s TV partners are giving away make good commercials to advertisers. As the ratings have fallen as much as 11% across the board with primetime games taking the biggest hit, CBS, ESPN, Fox and NBC have had to provide them with free ads on other programming to make up for the shortfall.

But that internet and cell phone thing changed life so dramatically that I can barely relate to people ten years younger than me. We grew up in objectively different worlds, from the minor (I always had a quarter in my shoe in case I had to make a phone call) to the major (everything about the internet). That's never really happened before.

That's never really happened before. You can do that for a ton of stuff from back then too. B&W TVs were still a novelty in 1946, by 1964 color TVs were starting to be everywhere. 1964 had the Civil Rights Act which caused some pretty drastic changes to society. 1946 and 64 is also the difference between likely having to go to Vietnam, and then having essentially no major conflicts to worry about through your prime military years.

Except that's not really true. If you were born in 2000 the smartphone didn't even really exist until like 2006 and smartphone ownership only passed the 50% mark a few years ago, so nearly all millennials did not have that kind of access. In 1946, 10% of homes had a TV, so all your news came from probably one or two papers, and maybe the movie theater. By 1964, TV ownership was at 94%. That's a pretty dramatic change in how we received information too. Obviously, access to the internet at all is a humongous change from 1981 to 2000, but these kind of changes are always going to happen. Unless we're going to start breaking up generational categories to every 8 years or something. In 10 years we can listen to the next generation complain how they didn't get a smartphone until they got to high school instead of at age 8 like kids these days.

A color TV isn't the same as having a vastly different lexicon and day to day life. "Text message," "tweet," "wifi," and "social media" weren't even terms when I was in high school. Now these are basic facets of day to day life. Mail order (not a term any more) was a six to eight week turnaround. High school papers didn't rely on online sources (we used this thing called an "encyclopedia"). No one had to tell us we couldn't use phones during a test. Social interaction was entirely in-person. I also specifically said ten years for a reason: twenty years is enough time for large society shifts. Someone born in 1946 and someone born in 1956 had basically the same life (too old and too young for Vietnam, even).

I'm old enough to remember when touch screens were considered literal science fiction, and it wasn't even that long ago (born in 87). Now they're so mundane that everybody has a touch screen in their pockets and babies playing with tablets is considered normal. poo poo changed real fast.
