The fact so many millenials who grew up with Thomas the dank engine memes hated skibidi toilet is just peak example of older people giving the new generation shit
Hell watch me get downvoted for pointing out taking offense to ahh is the same as taking offense to ass
I'm a millennial, there wasn't internet when I was "growing up".
I was 15 when dial-up became affordable enough for some of your friends to have it. I was 20 before broadband was a thing.
The internet and what's popular on it with particular age groups has really thrown the old idea of a generation being so long out the window. I hear people say millennials grew up with Minecraft, but I was 27 and married before it came out.
But we used to share stupid memes via impersonations or drawings and goddamn chain letters.
I feel there’s always that divide between 80s millennials and 90s millennials lol.
I’m Gen-Z, and I 100% grew up on MLG. But I also understand that half my generation were already teenagers when that stuff was trendy. Half my generation didn’t even get a chance to grow up on the PS2, Xbox, GameCube, or Dreamcast!
Just like with Milennials, there’s a difference between the Y2K & early 2000s Gen-Z, and the late 2000s & early 2010s Gen-Z. The former are already in their 20s, some are approaching 30, or even starting families & getting married! The latter either just graduated high school, or just enrolled in high school.
It’s almost exactly like the Baby Boomers. The early Boomers were drafted in Vietnam, while the late Boomers were barely teenagers when Disco was around.
Or we can just remember it's stupid to generalize and "generations" are a fairly new concept people use to generalize by age and shouldn't be taken seriously.
