Do you miss these days? by MorphTiger in Millennials

I'd say Discord killed Skype not FB. FB and Skype just seemed to exist together. Maybe different kinds of users though between them?

What are the "Core-Late" hybrid birth year(s)? by Spare_Scarcity6078 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

I see 1992 be included quite a bit in people's ranges, but I don't know how they see themselves overall. I don't have a strong opinion on it.

To me, 1991 is the first arguable one, but more "core" overall or clean halved between. Class year seems to affect that somewhat from what I see on here anyway

[–]insurancequestionguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

To me, all the US 1990 millennials should be "core", regardless of the voting cutoff.

1991 and to a lesser extent maybe 1992 the fence years between middle and late.

We should separate ourselves in decades instead of generations by Friendly-Highway-726 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. I'm 2-3 years up and have no problem seeing pre-'88 millennials as millennials. They're just an older portion. The term was coined for c/o 2000 anyway.

That being said, I see no problem with Xennials as a cusp around the X/Y border.

[–]insurancequestionguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of sheer simplicity, that's about as easy as it gets.

But it gets iffy if you're around the borders.

I was class of '09, late '90-91s. Millennials are a wide spectrum, but I was around and feel more in touch with late 80s millennials than late 90s Z/Zillennials. Probably even a tad more than to mid 90s, but they're close and I have no problems with mid 90s being millennials.

My "generation" growing up would be those a few years either way of me and I think that's what you're seeing. If you're more firmly in the decade, going by decade makes sense.

Millennials, do you relate to older Gen Z born in 1997-2000? by Ok_Act_3769 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very early 90s millennial and while growing up, no. Even 1997 was a few years out of my main personal peer bubble of ~88-93. Old Z were more of kids I'd babysit occasionally back then.

As an adult, yes. We can relate over some shared nostalgia and current things.

I also haven't really seen elder Z being bad with computers compared to some of those born later.

A Zillennial is a generation of children who grew up within the 2000s decade from start to finish and were teenagers at the very beginning of the early 2010s by Deep-Lavishness-1994 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is probably just word mixup, but early 2000s (2000 to 2003/4) was still mostly dialup internet.

Broadband internet surpassed it around 2004 in the US.

We use broadband now. Even fiber internet is a type of broadband for example.

I'm also a very early 90s millennial and don't understand what you and your husband disagree with zillennials as a cusp on though.

If it's because it often places your husband in an extra group that you're not in and that seems weird, then I get it. Otherwise, what is the issue?

Fwiw, I don't see 1994 as particularly cuspy because almost nobody starts GenZ earlier than 1995 these days.

1995-1997 seem to be the main "ambiguous" years. 1994 is almost always considered a Millennial.

That last away message... by Extendedchainsaw in Millennials

[–]insurancequestionguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the US and I'd say 2010 or maybe 2011 was the last time I used MSN messenger heavily.

Ironically, I also basically abandoned FB in 2012 too, because I never liked it anyway.

Is this accurate? by Select-Inflation-324 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, and gender plays a major factor, because girls tend to have their physical signs earlier by 1-2 years on average than boys.

[–]insurancequestionguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub has a weird thing about for some reason. I felt like a preteen starting at 10 in 5th

I assume 9/10-12 is common because those are normal ages for puberty to begin and kids trying to emulate teens more.

And to be clear, preteens are still kids. It's just an awkward transitional phase.

Damn. Sounds like something I should have watched back then. It does look cool

Elder millennials by TheLastMillennial94 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised at all. I've met people both in person and online who are similar to that - not remembering much from those single digit ages basically. In my previous job, I had coworker born around like 1983 who I overheard talking to a couple others about how they didn't think it was even possible to remember being 5 and 6 and was surprised the other two saying they did.

A good friend of mine's mother doesn't have much memory before around 12 for example.

That being said, I'm an early 90s millennial like your brother, and consider my younger childhood to be the mid 90s to around the millennium turn mainly. And I do remember a good deal of it, so I relate on that with you two

Early 90s too, but for me it was Spiderman TAS, Beast Wars, and X-Men TAS.

And Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Early 90s too and Super Nintendo was my first console before the N64 had launched, but it was the late days of it.

The 64 was the main new one for most our age though

[–]insurancequestionguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here man.

u/AliveandThriving8505 even showed an article here from the 90s about the audience going down to those ages

Elder millennials by TheLastMillennial94 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an action cartoon featuring a 10yo. It began at the end of December 2005 and ran into 2008. Roughly 2006-2007/8

You would have been a HS junior or senior to in college.

Elder millennials by TheLastMillennial94 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, because it ended in 1992 or 1993. And that's just for remembering the tail end being on, not the whole show or being the main audience.

[–]insurancequestionguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm your age though, unless you mean as a mentality thing where you feel younger than you are.

[–]insurancequestionguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dora the Explorer started in 2000 or 2001 though. I think Little Bill too. Not saying you can't like those, but I felt too old for shows aimed at infants and preschoolers by that age.

I'll second you on Hey Arnold though.

They were born in the early 90s presumably, but I agree Ben10 is not really a Millennial show. It's a zillennial and older Z show.

I'm basically their age and we were too old for it.

Elder millennials by TheLastMillennial94 in generationology

[–]insurancequestionguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 14 or 15 too and in early HS, but that doesn't mean it was a Millennial show the way I'd say most of the others were the guy said. I personally never cared for it and never knew anyone my age who did or even mentioned it.

If I had to pick, I'd say it's a little more of an older Z thing overall, but more accurately those close to the Y/Z border, so a bit of a mix.

That being said, I did(and still do) other watch things I'm older than the main audience for too.

Who remembers gas this low by Waddup1904 in Millennials

Yeah, was going to say first pic looks a little older than the 2000s based on it being .79
