Nice try, older millennials.


I'm not pp, but she is absolutely right.

I was born in 1984 , and by most definitions I have seen that makes me a millennia and all of what was mentioned was part of my childhood.

I was born in July of 1961. Do you think I should consider myself a late Boomer or an early Gen X'er? My siblings were born in '65 and '67 and all of us identify with a lot of these memories. I don't really think those of us born around then identify with Baby Boomers. For instance, I don't remember when (either) Kennedy was shot.

Atari ran ads on TV to show that you could pause a video game to go eat dinner. (Before that ... You couldn't stop playing or you lost your game)

Bells ran ads touting call waiting.

Both were mind blowing at the time.

I just pulled the old phone electrical base out of the kitchen wall yesterday!!! Mudded it and smoothed the wall. Myself!! I thought I was showing my children how handy mommy can be. Nope. It turned into the tale of the corded phone, a mystical time before Netflix, and you couldn't even have your groceries delivered!! Wow.

Getting a phone in your room for your thirteenth birthday has been replaced by a smart phone at 8yo.

I miss punk zeens.
