"I cried more when my cat died than my grandma because my cat was there for me though more of my hardest parts of life" "You dont know me, and you made a joke when I told you I'm suicidal. Now I am upset that you are oversensitive to my situation " "My boyfriend thinks I cheated on him, and I am obviously sure I did not, so now I feel obligated to hit on his friend. " 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. |

as a gen x'er i know that for the most part, baby boomers are to blame for this awful generation of humans that came after us but i also don't know if we are to blame as well. we are a boomer product too. are we just as worthless or are we just as culpable? |

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

If you hit the age of 18 on or after the year 2000 = Milliennial Another good rule of thumb. Mrs. Ugie works in marketing for a financial institution. Her biggest challenge in designing marketing campaigns is to create something that appeals to multiple generations. Because Millennials include ages up to 35 -- a group FAR different than a 25 year old -- this is a challenge. Technically I'm a Millennial (born in 1982). But there's no way I have similar purchasing habits to that of someone in their middle 20's. Or at least I hope. |

I saw a recent list with birth years and the generations accompanying them. First time I heard the term "Silent Generation" for those older than the Baby Boomers. Unfortunately, I assumed that they were Silent because they were mostly dead. Even worse, my own birth year, 1965, seems to be omitted from nearly every list. Hard to relate to Boomers sired after WWII and born in 1946, but too old to be Gen X, or, perhaps the perfect combination of both? |

This comes up all the time for me being born in 1979...a lot of times, those of us born like 77-83 have a lot of Gen X traits, but adapt to millennial crap, too. Personally, I relate to Gen Xers better, but that's mostly because I'm usually a miserable asshole. |

Fuck that noise. I'd do a better job of throwing runners out if you fuckers would just throw more fastballs and keep guys off base. |

I was born 87 and I count as a Millennial. For the record, most of my generation does not suck. 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. Most of us got real jobs and started families. I save for my own retirement as I know social security won't be there for me. |

honestly i think the worst part is all the technology news that claims robots will take everyones jobs soon. they keep pushing this mantra that work wont be needed anymore, because machines will do it for you. so why get a degree? why bust your ass when it will just be a waste of time? this has been detrimental to the work ethic in america. couple that with reality shows that glamorize everyone who is an idiot... but the robot thing... yeah, i work on industrial machinery every day. we are a LOONNGG time away from those things taking our jobs. Not in our lifetime, not in our kids or grandkids. We are at least a couple hundred years away from that, if ever. |

If you dont know how to use a card catalog you're probably a millenial. If you dont know campus comedy, humor in uniform, or life in these united states you're probably a millenial. 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 didn't learn about spaying and nuetering from bob barker you're probably a millenial. If you've never had to rewind to be kind you're probably a millenial.

As an 80s baby, I definitely fall into the Millennial designation but I feel like there should be a delineation somewhere in this group. Except for when I was in the Army, and even then it was hit or miss, I can not for the life of me understand the interests, habits, or hobbies of people born north of about 96. Like the MCU there should be phases. Phase 1 Millenials being the oldest end of the cohort. Phase 2 the insufferable college kids of today. Phase 3 these retards running around with fidget spinners and calling me racial slurs on Xbox live. |

Cherry picking from your list I did alot of these growing up but I'm still a Millenial. It truly is a scarlet letter. |

Older millenials had NES and SNES. My elementary school didn't have a computerized card catalog until I was in 5th grade as well. |

If you think because a couple general items on a list exclude you from the overall shame of being a millenial you're probably a millenial. |

Sheeit my first console was an NES that my grandmother (born in the depression) had bought for herself (lady was ahead of her time). Blowing on cartridges was a burden my siblings would pass around during gaming sessions. |

I'm just glad I'll never have another Millennial student--or their friggin' parents. Most were normal people, but 10% were loony in a way that students before them probably weren't. I think the real difference, besides the fact that you couldn't yell at them, was that they were as ist (racist, classist, etc.) as any other American generation, but they were convinced they were really open-minded. |

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