I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

The Pew research group defines Millennials as the people who came of age around the turn of the millennium. They specify the demographic as people born from 1981 to 1996. So, people who are 22 to 37 years old this year.

if you're older than 37 you are a gen-xer. Sorry.

if you're currently in college or younger, you are not a millennial, but a member of the as-yet unnamed generation that idolizes YouTube streamers and eats Tide Pods.

but yes the pop culture definition is basically anybody younger than me who does a thing I don't like

There is a separate overlapping generation that many are referring to as Xennials, which is a stupid name, but a very experientially valid group. My brother is a decade older than me and he is a Gen X-er. I share as much in common with millennials as I do with him, family not withstanding.

Gen Y is real, maaaaan

As a 1982 baby I'm glad that Pew calls me a millennial tbh, every other generation is trash. I do think xennial is a real sub group. I didn't have Facebook in high school. That's different enough.

Naming generations is really stupid and I hope that millennials of all people realize that. Millennial is used so derogatorily that it's insane.

So this is like the forgotten generation p much? Not old enough to be in WW2 and be a greatest generation member but not a boomer. Instead just went to fight in Korea.

It's shorthand. Also, it's useful. Not for everything, obviously, but there is real research value.

I did. There were only something like 12 issues, then after that they start over and send you issue #1 again. Apparently they never figured on anyone renewing.

@weratedogs has made big bucks from taking pictures of other people's dogs and writing something dumb with a rating and selling merchandise based on it. And is also racist.

the racismwatchdog was an account that would RT racist tweets with only "WOOF WOOF WOOF" on it but turns out that only gave them more followers

There's a baddogsrates that kinda dunks on weratedogs but it's also dumb

To make it short, people are dumb but they are even dumber on Twitter.
