Can you just fucking stop it, Millennials and Parents of Millennials?

I say if you had a cell phone in high school, you're a millennial.

I was born in 1978 and I've never felt like I really belonged to either Generation X or Y. Always felt like Gen Xers were a little older than me, and Gen Yers a bit younger. Did a little googling, and this seems to fit me for the most part:

Yup, I was born in 80 and my wife in 78. We're definitely tweeners along with quite a few other posters around here.

Northwestern Mutual is a weird company in a lot of ways.

The boogity of companies

The boogity of companies

I posted this before but my dad went to some conference at NW Mutual where the execs talked up culture a la Wellman and served kool aid to all the attendees.

That's actually not a bad metric. I think the propagation of technology is a heavy influence on some millennial traits.

You're at least a tweener if you regularly used email in high school and don't vividly remember the Gulf War.

i'd say owned a laptop prior to college.

I got a cell phone once I was able to drive.

I think I decided that Ph and I are the exact same age.

You're living with a 22 year old and couldn't get along with your roommates. Metric is 1 for 1.

 

[DeaconCav06]

I think the laptop is a good metric.

I dunno. I was born in '77 and I had a cell my senior year in HS. Im defs not a millenial. It was a Nokia the size of a skinny brick though. It was pretty worthless bc no one else had one. I could only call houses.


Also, I was WFU Class of 2000. We were the first class to get stinkpads. I defs did not have a laptop before that.

Seriously. What a bunch of whining pussies.

 

[deacphan]

i got a cellphone when i turned 16. my house had one pc in the office growing up. my bro got a laptop at some point when i was in college (so he was in hs). i also think a lot of the millennial traits are related to technology, and as such people who grew up in more advanced technological atmospheres may be more millennial in a sense.

2 for 2

 

[deacphan]

like my parents dropped me off at a movie or the mall as a kid. then id call them when i was ready to come home based on a prearranged timeframe. we didnt constantly text back and forth serving as the unbroken umbilical chord that causes a lot of the issues (imo of course).

 

[deacphan]

call them on the pay phone.

You poor bastard.

Bicentennial baby. It's good to see the quality of individuals Wake pumped out after abandoning the '98 and '99 classes as old dogs that needed put down.
