Having been born in '84, I consider myself neither an X'er or a Millennial, but as a member of Generation Jordan.

However the entirety of the portion of my generation that entered the "journalism" field and writes for trash like Jezebel, HuffPost, etc. does suck and should be sterilized.

His puttering around in the garage watching the rain, like my grandpa? His south of I-80 racist sensibilities? His inability to steam peas?

If Kelly Le Brock didnt give you a boner in 84 you're probably a millenial.

If you didn't watch reruns of gilligans island, the munsters, and bewitched while faking sick from school you're probably a millenial.

If you never got to fill it to the rim with brim you're probably a millenial.

If you never got one of those personalized birthday records that was actuallly square and on cardboard you're probably a millenial.

If your first cooy of white album wasnt on lp you're probably a millenial.

If you never thought a single sequined glove was a reasoable fashion accessory you're probably a millenial.

If you never bought a hypercolor you're probably a millenial.

I don't even know if I consider these people millennials. I'm well into my 30s... I think of millennials as under 25... But apparently stupid people are proliferate.

Depending on which marketing research source you prefer, most agree that millennials were born between the years 1978 and 1990.

If you were alive in the year 2000, you are a Millennial.

Social media is constant giving and craving of everyone's attention.

A weird little circlejerk doesn't count.

Nice. I can live with that definition.

I'm a Millennial but I don't feel like they're my people. I feel more kinship with Gen-Xers, I think.

It's awesome when millennial bashing takes place over social media platforms created by millennials.

I was born in 82 and enjoy watching the rain from my balcony.

I'm a Millennial but I don't feel like they're my people. I feel more kinship with Gen-Xers, I think.

One of my favorite Facebook things is when someone posts the opening rant from The Newsroom and captions it with something like "litsen up millennials!", the one that goes like COLLEGE GIRL: uh, like, why is America so great? THE NEWSROOM MAN: listen you dumb fucking bitch, you Caller Bob, we're 35th in solar panel production and 84th in math tests! America is bad because of whores like you! In my day, phones or something!
