'Oh. I understand your viewpoint. Yeah, this generation is in a weird position when it comes to technology. We seem to have a love/hate relationship with it that other generations don't understand. ...
That is crazy though! I would have never thought a main help desk person would not know how to set-up a computer. I have a possible feeling that the folks in your workplace were not exposed to...
Wait really? So you're saying you might have started Pokemon GO trend?:laughing::laughing: Yeah, that's why I asked if it could be a trick up in their sleeves to say that while secretly bashing...
Actually, that would depend on how one divides the decade. Not everyone uses the early/mid/late designations. There are folks out there who use the halves formula and others who use the quarters'...
Now that it has been a few years since this topic was created, I'm going with 2016. For those who said 2013 and '14 are the definitive years of this decade are honestly wrong. Those two years were...
I really hope there's a change coming very soon! I'm honestly tired of the mid-10s for the simple fact it has been horrendous. Hopefully, the late 10s turns to be much better and give this decade a...
I thought 90s nostalgia has been huge for some time. With all the revivals of TV shows, fads, fashion and more, I thought that was enough to indicate that 90s was in and 80s was out. However, I...
I'm honestly going to put this out there, and say that most people are practically hybrids even if their childhood leans in one era or another. I don't see anything wrong with folks in the 90s/00s...
Whoa!:shocked: Everyone should at least know how to use a PC if they have an IT job. It's not that difficult. That makes me wonder how they got hired if they don't know to use one.:confused: I...
That's what I wanna know. Just a month ago, there were articles stating that Millennials were killing everything, eating avocado toast and all the other BS.:laughing: Now, it all changes a week ago...
I agree with your entire post. 20-30 years in front of a computer is a lot more time to know how to code, program things and more. The older folks in your workplace were not only lazy, but they're...
Good news people! After all the BS that Millennials have received over the years, they are finally being seen in a positive light. I came two articles today stating that Millennials are doing much...
I totally agree! Yeah, it does sound like some folks forget that technology is a gradual process, not an instant one. In fact, despite that the iPhone was released in 2007, most people didn't have it...
That's very true. It seems that lots of people forget that millennials are known for more than just tech such as optimism, idealism, adventurous etc.
No. The first full year of gen z is 1995 which is the HS class of 2013. 1993 and '94 are generally considered to be Millennials. Too bad you weren't here a few years ago. There were many people of...
I didn't need to because I have seen that link a thousand times. Yeah, it says the typical start IS the mid-90s, but that does NOT that mean it's 1993 or '94. Again, either NO source or very few have...
No 1995 is the beginning. Gen Z starts with the HS class of 2013. Sources even state that. Hold Up! PPG wasn't popular anymore in 2004 and '05. Oh, and I take back when I said that show ended in...
Well, that is because you're not reading enough sources. Most references have 1994/95 as the end, not much earlier than you believe. Oh yes, they were. 1991 folks were children when PPG premiered,...
No. What those comments are showing is that the Xennials are pretty much the older millennials, and are trying way too hard to fit with Gen X even if they wanted their own mini-generation. Besides,...
This is an excellent rundown on each generation and its descriptions, and I like the chart. The only issue I have with it is the designations. I truly think it each cohort should have two groups of...
This is an interesting perspective. I appreciate that you pointed those things out. I agree with what you said with on the last few points except for privacy. About the consequences of words, that...
Nope, not at all. I DO have male cousins though, and we all witnessed Power Rangers and Pokemon. Oh, and BTW both fads were for guys AND girls. What made you imply that Power Rangers and Pokemon were...
I don't agree with that classification at all. All generations should be two groups. The whole early/core/late designations are frustrating and have made endless destructive debates in the past. ...
So, she would have been in the minority then. The article stated that first-time moms were around 25/26. It would have been rare for people in her age range to have children during that time. Again,...
I never said she was. All I said was that she is Gen X since it seems like she's in her early 40s. You said your mom is about 20 years older than you, and you're a 1993 person. That means she was...
So for the last few days, I have been looking at comments regarding the Xennials (or the Oregon Trail Generation), and I have to honestly that they are pretty much older Millennials whether they...
Do you even know what early 21st century means? It's not just 2000/01-09. If your mom is about 20 older than you then she's not a Millennial. She would be Gen X. Again, yes some Xers had kids in...
I think you really really misunderstood about what I said. I was talking about non-traditional college students. You can be one at any age. https://nces.ed.gov/pubs/web/97578e.asp What Is a...
I think you missed the point in my link. I said that about 20 states had a cutoff later than September 1st and there were some back then that had a December-January cutoff. So California, Hawaii,...
I said it seems you don't remember when the internet was a luxury meaning that one was able to afford it before it was standard. Not even!...
True on that. Facebook was definitely much more popular and had already taken over MySpace by then, but I was just telling Jaderose that just because it declined in 2008 doesn't mean it was dead.
It seems that you have no clue what luxury means. I'm saying it was a novelty before it became common to have the internet as it reached 50% in 2001. That depends on the state. There are many...
Yeah, you said that many times already, and I asked do you remember the internet when it was a luxury, not before it was common. You got the two confused. Once again, MySpace was popular between...
I didn't say they were not going to remember all of them. I said they were not going or recall some of them. Oh, and it's ok if you don't remember Columbine. Not all younger Millennials recall that...
No, I'm not. I already told you I have friends and even family with that range. Once again, they're not going to generally remember all of those events due to their age when they all occurred. ...
I think that would have still been rare though. I actually thought that those folks generally had Xers as parents, but I found out a while ago that was not true. I have friends and I know people who...
I haven't said that 1977 was the cutoff for Gen X. The Generations forum already does that. Oh, and no, the 1982-2000 span has only been referenced from one source which was Strauss-Howe. Most so far...
How was it stereotypical? Yeah, you are. Just admit already. All the descriptions I have read don't agree with what you said. The most known cutoff for Gen Z is 1995, not much earlier than...
When it comes to the hybrid childhoods I say that the 2001-04 people are all both even if they all lean one way or the other. They all would discuss the late 00s and early 10s just as much equally...
I was just saying you're a conservative black person. you said it yourself sometime ago. I know. I was just saying that most were in school when that event happened. I'm starting to think that...
Yeah, but it depends on what the discussion is about.
2010 2011 2013 2012 2017 2016 2015 2014
Yeah, that's true that every generation has had criticism. I'm not going to deny that; however, the thing is it's going too far with the whole killing this killing that and some other BS. That's...
Yeah, they mean the same generation. It's just that some people don't seem to know what a millennial is.
Aside from sources using the 1982-2000 span, is there a reason why you think it should be that way? It's because 2000 doesn't seem to be common as much as it used to, and a little more than half of...
You must have misread the link. It says signs stating how one is Gen Z and not a millennial. It never said that the folks are automatically Z. Oh, and I don't know why you keep using the 1982-2000...
I just read this yesterday, and I agree with the signs stating how one is Gen Z and not a millennial. What do you all think? Are You A Millennial Or Part Of Gen Z? | Gurl.com
