Even Boomers are more open to entertainment outside of their era being good, the one good thing about my shitty millennial generation is that we appreciate things from the past.

You guys kinda have to, what with pop culture constantly recycling things from the past.

That's because millenials were sheltered and had a garbage higher education that passed them through to make money off of shit art degrees. When you aren't pushed to be better the art/entertainment you make will be garbage, the only shit people end up liking will be old shit that wasn't garbage. They literally only know how to make retro shit since millenials are essentially at the level of fan fiction writers.

We suck and are fucking brainwashed and useless but at least we know we suck at making entertainment.

Not just "essentially", but literally. Shit like the Nu Star Wars trilogy felt more and more like fanfiction with each new entry.
And not to forget this "Come Away" thing which is just a Peter Pan / Alice in Wonderland crossover fic.

Hey now, Rian Johnson and JJ are Gen X. Don't pin their shit onto us, Neil Cuckmann is Gen X too.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

They are honorary millenials.

I was born in 1976, which today seems to put me firmly in Gen X, but back in the 90s when I was in high school ('91-'95), the media articles about this crazy new "Generation X" seemed to refer to college-age and up, which made me a few years too young. People my age were "Generation Y" for awhile, but time seems to have revised the matter and now I'm Gen X.

One big disconnect that I feel with younger generations is that I didn't come up with "gamer" culture. Yes, we played games in the 80s and early 90s. Nintendo was popular. I went to arcades when I was a kid and dropped quarters into machines. It was fun, but younger people seemed to make games a much bigger part of their lives than I and anyone I knew back then ever did. None of us dressed up in Mario costumes. I don't think I've even touched a game in thirty years. Once I started talking to girls, I lost all interest in games and I've never gone back.

I think that's a generational marking point and why I agree with some above that Blob doesn't register for me as Gen X.

You are right outside the Xennial cut off point of 1977. I know it's insanely close, but the gamer culture/nerd culture thing was started by people born in the really late 70s/early 80s. Liar Revealed is around your age but he is otaku as fuck, but he clearly is not a millenial either and posts like you.

I think the real way to separate the two generations is the GFC in 2008. If you didn't have time to establish yourself before the collapse you are a millenial, if you did and it didn't hit you too hard you are Gen X. It's a BIG reason why so many Millenials are fucking socialist, they struggled to get a job so they hate capitalism while Gen Xers grew out of that shit from college once they got employed and had to actually talk to conservatives at work.

That's probably why Bob gives off Millenial vibes, he was always going to be a failure regardless of the economy so his stunted adolescence is very similar to millenial SJWs.

Jesus Christ grandpa let’s go play House of the Dead and get some gyoza.

He gives off those vibes because by every metric that counts he is a fucking Millennial

Fuck me you're stubborn

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

It's really more of a state of mind, not just a birth defect.

[Liar Revealed]

Millennials are exactly like that. They don't know about anything much older than their 'era'.

I'm going to have to agree with guest here. These are the same people that think Captain Marvel was the first female superhero movie and Black Panther was the first black one, and that Michael Burnham is the first black woman in Star Trek.

Millennials have a complete lack of history period and that is why they think Communism will work even though it's been proven over and over and over that it doesn't, and they think slavery ended last week.
