there is no generation y. the group known as the "millennials" begins in 1980, when generation x ended.

someone who is 34 today is a millennial, are you loving making GBS threads me?

i bet mozilla could make firefox the most used browser again, if they bundled adblock plus and did a huge marketing push to explain how you wouldn't see ads again, not even on youtube

of course they will never do this, because mozilla's main funding source is an advertising company called google

although tbh the status quo is the best of both worlds for me. i don't have to see the ads, and there are enough dumb people who do see the ads that companies like google aren't spending much time fighting ad blockers

that wouldn't work out so well once every single ad-driven site on the Internet starts automatically redirecting Firefox users to goatse

there are multiple dates given for millenials, another common one is '84, but yes, 30 year olds are millenials

almost like the generational grouping concept involves a distinct cultural identity of early adults across a 20 year span
