Any generation below gen x is a millenial apparently
PenguinPete
I know exactly who the Mills are, they're the ones taking credit away from GenX for the past 2 decades.
WilliamElse
I hate generational tags but imgur has taught me that anyone who explicitly identifies as 'millenial' probably really likes being a victim.
Raikupath
Can we finally stop separating each other and realize how it's not only "millennials" or Gen X who is at fault.
Raikupath
There are complete idiots in every single generation.
Valtrith
I am a millenial who is on Spring Break. But, as a millenial, I never did anything before quarantine anyway so...
daianaaaa
If any WHO representative actually used the word Millenial in their address I’ll eat all the dips in my cubby
echonite
The youngest millennials are like 20 or 21. So if there are any millennials out right now, it is from the tail end.
dragonslaver
I'm 23 and I am also infuriated by those brain dead monkeys
dragonslaver
It has nothing to do with age but with intelligence, wisdom and God damn common sense.

People also keep talking about 40-something year old white dude when discussing Boomers. People don't like change and hate is ignorant.
Kaldera0
From what I've seen a lot of boomers are not taking it seriously. I walked past a bar yesterday and it was filled with people in their 60s+.
Banjotron
Can everyone stop using generational labels as the keystone of news stories? It's lazy reporting and is almost never accurate.
UltraLincoln
I'm a millennial and I've been working this whole time. I spend my days terrified of the boomers who act like nothing is wrong/different.
RoutemasterFlash
It absolutely does my fucking nut in that so many boomers think "millennials" are in their early 20s or even teen years.
RoutemasterFlash
Plenty of teens are the *kids* of older millennials.
mity0k23
“Millennial” is no longer the name of a generation, but the name of a bogeyman.

Im early (late? Im 22) Gen Z and even im telling people not to go out. Maybe its less a generational issue and more a "those idiots" issue.
HalfpriceFruitbasket
I'm a Gen Z and I'm only going out to get food. But that's what I did before
heresaname
yup, i was in high school during the tide pod/ice cream licking thing. no on thinks these people are smart
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
It's not only "those idiots", it's "those idiots who do stupid things for likes of random strangers on the internet".
Shazaem
It's almost as if grouping people into generations has little to no value...
n0n53n53
Grouping people into any category rarely has any true value. "The gays" don't have an agenda. "The blacks" aren't all out committing a crime

TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
"Millennial" just means "young person" to them. You're sadly on the hook for all new things, forever.
MoRock90
It's like how the nintendo to them was everything from a gameboy to a playstation.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
Sometimes, when he's on a laptop using Quicken or something, I tell my 60 year old father to get off the Nintendo.
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
You mean, it's the same like Millennials calling everyone a boomer who is older than them? That's some profound insight you got there, mate.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
Salty.
SergeiBoobtitsky
1. Most millennials don't do that. 2. I've been called a boomer. 3. Technically, I'm a millennial. 3. I'm 36. At what point am I an adult?
farharder
This.is.how.i.feel.... but I don't want to. When I see people blanket blame a generation, they're morons. Occasionally 1/2

AlienNippleAntennae
Fuck people who generalize huge groups of people thru monikers and snappy sounding names. Use your brain and stop blaming others.

That's something a gen x would say
CalebCakePilot
Generations are completely made and arbitrary. I have no idea why they became popular but try not to get stressed. Remember, it's made up so
CalebCakePilot
Don't let it define you
Scrotality
The concept can be useful in sociology, but it's not supposed to be this astrology type bullshit some think it is.
WelllllIllBeDamned
Enough with this stupid ass Gen Z Millenials Boomer labeling Shit..Stop with the labels People.
smallwhale
right, you know most of those people hoarding supplies were millennials and gen X, but we’re not gonna say that are we?
totallyspambox
The U.S. PIRG defines millennials to be born between 1983-2000. So they aren’t all millennials, but there’s definitely plenty there.
fjjyrd
1981 to 1996. Yes I get it, there's different definitions but they're fucking wrong. The window I've adopted will henceforth be the only one
Mairoa
If you're too young to remember 9/11 in context and the world before it, or old enough you were an adult come internet age... Nope
RulesOfImgur
I think that anyone born 95 to 00 is free to choose if they are millennial or zoomer. Every damn source says the cutoff is different
Mairoa
The defining trait is remembering a pre 9/11 world and then into a recession as you mature. 2000 babies weren't there
RulesOfImgur
I remember 9/11 but barely. I'm a 98
crispyraccoon
I think we can claim X-ennials. We're on the cusp of the generations. So, there's that.
Massmayhem247

Ok I'm almost 26 I'm on the line for gen z and millennial. Those kids on spring break are 100% zoomers.
Absurdlylongusernamewithapunortwo
I feel that, all my friends are older and there's a clear divide between me and my younger sister.
Jipijur
You are correct.
HiGuyz1
Early zoomer here, some of us, myself included, have already graduated college. I'd appreciate if we could start pointing to individual 1/2
HiGuyz1
Cunts instead of claiming whole generations, because I've been called both a millenial and a zoomer and I feel like neither
DrGIN
Also 18-21 year olds have always been stupid. Don't make this a generation thing, you old jerks.
Mairoa
Yeah, the human brain is programmed to try the dumbest shit it can think of at that age.
Starfox5
Well, it's a toss-up who's more stupid - 2020 Spring Breakers or those who aren't millionaires but still vote Republican.
DrGIN
Fair point.

That’s also a millennial joke. We played it in school too.
Fivegoldentoques
I was born in '80 I'm not sure if I'm a lazy gen x or love avacados like a millenial
mikeatike
Same for 78-82. Have nothing in common with GenX or Millennial. But on the plus side I get most of the pop culture memes from the 90s.
steelerchief
It’s often class based in that range. I was born 78, but lived dirt poor so had the toys and experiences of someone born in 1972-1975.
mikeatike
I grew up dirt poor but was in to video games and computers and went to school for them. So still neither.
steelerchief
My wife was born 1979 but was well-off. Always had cutting edge tech, so she lived like someone born in 1982-1985.
bassmidnitro
Growing up in the '90s, Oregon Trail was the most popular game played on computers at my school!
sirocka08
Anyone else have the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" game on the school computers in middle school?

Also: TIL Oregon trail was re-released for pc as recently as 2011!

I'll have you know cholera (and drowning in rivers) was more deadly for me. Who the hell actually TESTS water anyway?

I am the most fun at parties. The mortality rate for untreated dysentery is like 4% so it's not far off!

Well, not with a Ford, that's for sure.

Don't use a Ford. Try driving your Chevy to the levy.
ApplesdaKitty
drive it to the levy, not in the levy.
mikeatike
But what if it's dry?

There is a stigma in a lot (not all) of the older generations that think anyone younger than them are millennials. Its a bummer
Grandolddrummer
Kinda like how all old people are boomers. Oldest boomers are 74. Older than that is silent generation
TheGhostofElizabethShue
It's about time they got their own fun nickname, like I dunno, Virals or something. "Ugh, the Virals are at it again." That feels right.
samueWebRunner
I would like to note as a Gen Z represent, that I finished my finals last night and am peacefully in quarantine now.

PiperMX5
Of course we want to die. We were the generation raised on social media so our outlook on people and life it fucked and our education is f'd
royoffthegrid
As a zoomer, I can vouch that we welcome the sweet release of death, and are excited that this one comes with cleaner air and free elephants
Yacobs21
Damn, you guys are becoming boomers real fast
MBVagabond
Except for us Gen Z's that are in university just hoping to graduate and find a job to pay off debt.

YA YEET

Ispellgud
95-99% of Zoomers can get coronavirus and not even need hospitalization. I'm not saying that Zoomers shouldnt care, but it's not awful.
HootSloot
I don't think I'd risk 3% chance of hospitalization to get drunk. I'd be safer skiing while hammered than getting the virus.
JupitersWitch
Not awful for them could be fatal to another.
Bethynator
Yeah but how many vulnerable people can they spread it to before they show symptoms?! It is terrible!
Ispellgud
Read my other comments.
Ispellgud
Millennials saying Zoomers are all on Spring Break is the same as Boomers saying Millennials are lazy. 2/3
Ispellgud
zoomers getting through college or high school, are working at grocery stores etc. They may prevent many CRUCIAL services from shutting down
JupitersWitch
Yeah seriously. We should be thanking them because they are a lot healthier and most don't have kids to worry about.
HootSloot
Not all zoomers are on spring break but pretty much everyone on spring break is a zoomer.
HootSloot
The generation as a whole doesn't need to take the blame, generations are a meaningless label anyway
DarkwingDuc
They're partying, meanwhile my Boomer in-laws think this is a Democratic hoax & are going out every chance they get. Feels like Gen-X, (1/2)
ActionJohnnie
Hopefully they leave you some inheritance.

(2/2) my generation, and Millennials, my wife's, are the only ones taking this seriously.
myUsernameWasAlreadyTakenAndIHaveAcceptedMyFate
I mean, you can't expect teenagers to take it too seriously. Kids have always been some stupid shitheads
Ispellgud
Millenials saying Zoomers are partying is the same as Boomers calling Millenials lazy. Zoomers are the least vulnerable group rn. 1/2
Ispellgud
Their lack of care, or "partying", is probably a big factor in what's keeping grocery stores etc. operating rn. AKA crucial services. 2/2

It's an established fact that putting "Millenial" in the headline leads to more clicks. Clickbait-101.
Matrican
Is it us that click more on them when they write "Millenial" in the headline or boomers I wonder.
DarkwingDuc
Probably a healthy mix of both. Same way putting Apple in the title of anything tech-related gets more b/c both Apple haters & lovers click,
Stringgeek
Good to know I'm still young

I am A-OK with this, as it means I will still be a young person for much longer than I had previously thought.

The best part are millennials calling those slightly younger than them millennials. Listen Karen, you are 36, THAT'S YOU TOO.

The antonym is boomers....

Millennials = anyone younger, Boomers = anyone older. Noteworthy, Dr. Dre is Gen X.

So was Obama. Only X'er POTUS before the Boomers got mad and yanked the steering wheel back.

In Sweden our biggest problem is our fucking boomers who refuse to stay home because they think they are invincible.
Chalybos

DigiT00l
Tbf, Boomer is the opposite, the part where the overlap is is where you find Millenials

The difference is that Boomers deserve all their criticism. Millennials do not.

Something that gets brought up every time even though nobody asked about you, Daria. Go watch MTV and pretend to be a boomer
n0n53n53
Both true. Also Millennials are now realizing that every new generation gets shit on a bit before a new generation is old enough to get 1/2
LiteralVampirePotBellyGoblins
"are now"? No, we've known for a long time.
n0n53n53
2/2 shit on. I remember when Gen X were just a bunch of slackers and adrenaline junkies and the Greatest Generation were old coots.

it probably took some serious stones to shit on the greatest generation

It was exactly like millenials vs boomers.
