A shower thought I had this morning: the reason why Millennials are the way we are is because we are the last generation that remembers a time when the world was "relatively speaking" normal. The internet existed, but didn't really drive culture. We had social media when it was used for socializing, not for reading our crazy uncle's rants. We had "free" music without the ads or subscriptions. We literally had our cakes and ate them too.
Now - all the things we used to love kinda broke the world: everything is a subscription. The internet dominates discourse and culture. Social Media swings elections. That's the world Zoomers grew up in - they don't understand why we cling to these things so much. For example: newer generations don't understand how important Harry Potter was to a certain generation - for them, Joanne is just a transphobe on twitter. This is why we are so "cringe" or "cheugy" to new generations. They don't understand that these things aren't objectively better, they just make us FEEL better.
The reason WE cling to these things is not because they were objectively superior or better than what we have today - it's because they remind us of a time (I'd say pre 2007) when things weren't messed up all the damn time, at least not to this degree. Millennials aren't nostalgic for AIM or MSN Messenger because these were superior to Facebook, TikTok, or Snapchat, we're nostalgic for those YEARS because AIM was never going to give our parents brain worms - things felt... normal!
If a Zoomer/Alpha reads this thread, here's some examples of potential future headlines that might make you feel the way we do:
"Cocomelon releases diss track on Soundcloud, #1 streamed song in the world"
"Ryan's Toy's Review arrested for narcotics possession" (this is parody Ryan, please don't sue me I'm a millennial we have student loans and no money)
"Logan Paul considers Presidential bid"
"KSI purchases Arsenal football club"
If you read these headlines and think "what the actual hell is going on, am I in bizarro world?" - this how we have felt for the past decade.

I swear when I was a teenager I would sometimes just come home and lounge around my room listening to music and not do anything else. Just sitting still and listening to music.
I tried to do that again and I just couldn't do it. Before the first song finished I was on my phone. I tried again and made sure I sat there for a full song but the whole time I was thinking about things I would soon be doing on my phone. Updates for sports, what I'm going to post on social media, thinking how I need to do something with my fingers, etc.. I'm close to 30 and I'm worse at sitting still than I was as a teenager. Phone addiction is a real thing.

Conversation I had with my youngest daughter. Where all the kids are wearing band t-shirts because it’s trendy.
“Uhh you know grunge was the opposite of preppy right?”
“That was back in your time, not the case anymore”
“Why would wear a shirt of a band you’ve never heard?”
“Because they are cute and preppy”
I give up. Preppy to me never looked like over sized t-shirts and baggy jeans.

Generation X was born, by broadest definition, between 1961 and 1981, the greatest anti-child cycle in modern history. Nevertheless, we grew up to become the world's most devoted parents: the "workhorse of America." This sub welcomes links, photos, graphics, memoirs, commentaries, stories, etc., for and about Gen-Xers, the 13th Generation of Americans. GenX also translates to many other parts of the world.

has anyone else noticed how popular gambling has become with our age group? I’m talking about all sorts, from sports betting to online poker. A bunch of my friends, who are all between 22-25, are really into it. Some of them are actually making decent money, which kinda blows my mind
It's like every time we hang out, there's always some talk about odds, bets, and the latest casino apps. I get the thrill of it, but I’m curious if this is a common thing across our generation or if it’s just my circle. How about you guys? Anyone here into gambling, or is it just as big everywhere else?

For me, one of the big ones is diet culture. My mom was constantly dieting growing up and commenting on my changing body constantly as well. I remember being in 4th grade and I had really gotten chubby in preparation for a big growth spurt. My parents made me get up before school for months and run a mile to try and lose weight. I’ve had body issues my whole life as a result, despite the fact that in my 20s I was very fit and even competed in pageants. Anyway, my daughter has been told she’s beautiful her whole life, no matter what size she is.

What’s a clear sign someone is a millennial and out of touch with what is “in” nowadays. I still have my classic iPod and listen with wired earbuds at the gym because why not, all my music is on there. And I don’t care what I look like.
An example like that.

The very first movie I have some memory of seeing is Honey, I blew up the kid. We saw it at a drive in and I was very little. I remember being scared because there was a GIANT child walking around. For years I thought the memory was a dream I had had until watching the movie as an older kid and then it clicked. My mom was like “how the hell do you even remember that?”
About a year later my mom tried to take me to see Jurassic Park and as soon as the lights turned off and I saw the trees moving, I booked it the hell out of there and ran out of the theater. We did end up seeing Jurassic Park eventually but at the drive in.
I also saw The Flintstones, The Lion King, A Simple Wish, The Rugrats Movie, Dinosaur, What Women Want (lol I have no idea why my moms friend took my sister and me to see this???) and How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
