We are the last of a dying breed. We are the first of a new generation. We are the ones to watch technology grow into a sentient monstrosity and the last to have a Tamagachi. We are… Millennials. There’s something to be said about the generation that straddled the dawn of the Internet. Growing up, …

A Nostalgic Scrapbook of 70’s and 80’s Kodak Moments for a Trip Down Memory Lane (September 13, 2024)
Did you ever stand up on the park swings? If you were a latchkey kid like many children in the 70s and 80s, you probably didn’t have a hover-parent to survey your every move on the jungle gym, which means you definitely pushed the boundaries of safety on that swing set. Kids back in those …

27 Gen X Memes for 80s Kids Raised on Hose Water (September 11, 2024)
Back when recess insults were encouraged and playgrounds were made of industrial-revolution-grade metal, kids used to be tougher. Gen X was built for knee scrapes, sandlot banter, and the occasional undiagnosed concussion. Perhaps it was the homemade bike ramps or the impromptu games of freeze tag in the vacant lots, but there’s definitely a reason …

‘Karen’: 34 Classic Gen X Names on the Brink of Extinction
What’s in a name? A lot actually… In fact–ancient cultures believed that your name was a predecessor for who you’d become, what you’d stand for, and the legends you’d create. Nowadays, young parents seem to be trying to out-stupid the other parents in the kindergarten PTA by naming their kids something ‘original’ just for the …

Gen Zers make fun of millennials for never making big purchases on their phones and reserving them for computers: ‘I ain’t about to mess up a $500+ purchase just cuz it’s convenient’
It’s easy to criticize someone slightly older or younger than you for their technological quirks. I find it funny when millennials claim they learned coding in middle school because they changed their Tumblr themes with HTML. To me, that’s just a wee bit overselling their skills. On the other hand, a millennial could easily criticize …

A Nostalgic Scrapbook of 70’s and 80’s Kodak Moments for a Trip Down Memory Lane (August 29, 2024)
Do you remember how cool it sounded when you put a baseball card in your bike spokes? We all wished we had a little 2-stroke motorcycle, but all Dad could afford was this lame single-speed Schwinn. Well, like everything back in the 70s and 80s, that ‘lame’ bike of yours is still kicking–and is probably …

27 Gen X Memes for 80s Kids Raised on Hose Water (August 27, 2024)
Gen X was wild when they were young. We were launching off of homemade bike ramps in the streets until dark, climbing every tree in the park next to the school, and digging holes in the yard deep enough to sink Mom and Dad’s wood-paneled station wagon. This generation of rabble-ruffians was wild and free, …

‘It was warmer the sun now is more of a cool tone’: Millennials claim the sun was different in the 90s, others argue that these memories are skewed by ads and being 8-years-old in 1995
It’s no mystery that some things have changed since the 90s. We’ve gotten older, prices have gone up, and the Vengaboys are not releasing as many songs. A lot of people might say that the 90s were clearly a better time to be alive, but most of the people who say that were children during …

4 out of 200+ alumni who RSVP’d to 10-year high school reunion attend, attendee wonders why millennials are so against high school reunion: ‘Do people think they are too good to go to their reunion?’
To attend or not to attend a high school reunion. That is the question many of us have to answer 5, 10, 20, and 25 years after we leave the hallowed halls of our 9-12th grade school. I am a lucky duck because my high school doesn’t have reunions, never has, and presumably never will. …

‘Phones are making kids stupid’: Millennials and Gen Zers share the opinions that they agree with Baby Boomers about
Some oldhead complaints are timeless. For instance, «Kids today are lazy and can’t even begin to apply themselves to anything important.» That’s a critique that goes back to Aristotle’s times. While it’s kind of funny to watch the grown-up kids, who were called lazy by their parents, call their kids and grandkids lazy, it doesn’t …
