I'm starting to think I should take George Carlin's approach to voting in 2016.

Seeing as how George Carlin is dead, I assume you mean you won't be voting at all?

Hmm, I see your point with the phrasing.

I will honor George by applying the beloved philospher's voting methodology in 2016.

Frankly I need to take his advice to heart more. I think life would be easier and much more peaceful and serene for me. I wanted to share this so much I *** with the forum on my phone browser to look up and deliver this!

I don't think I qualify for a millennial either cause I don't tweet or post or whatever the *** young people do !

Some people rigidly define them by birth years (edit: I knew it was someone around here who posted years before, and it was probably Flavin then, too). I'm not a fan of doing so.

Strictly speaking I think anyone born in the 80s is a "millenial", but I've long considered myself more of a Gen-X'er. I just identify more with those 4-6 years older than I am in most ways than I do with people even 1-2 years younger.

At least of those I grew up around.

I consider myself a 90's person cause I identify with that time period the most. Late 90's to early 2000's.

Certainly sounds like something you'd do.

Actually that period isn't consistent across all the outlets that label such things. "Early" 1980 to "early" 2000s is how they refer to it generally. I was born in early 1980.

Does it mean something profound if I am a millennial shitting on my own generation? Or are you just curious?

Yeah, see, that's the thing. I generally consider millenials to be kids who can't actually remember being kids in the 80s. My brother-in-law was born in 87, but he doesn't remember ***from the 80s.

Meanwhile, I rocked out to Born in the U.S.A.!

I think millenials take a lot of undeserved heat. I mean, they get a lot of ***they deserve, too, but they really don't deserve nearly as much as they get.

Old generations like to pretend they wouldn't take advantage of technology and the like the same way, had it been available to them.

*** baby boomers need to remember that they're the *** who were buying $2000 VCRs in the 80s...

All they know is Facebook Twitter and whatever other app they use.

And old people are varying levels of burnout too embarrassed and defeated by the failings in their lives to do anything but stick to what they know. *adjusts fedora*

All they know is to evoke nostalgia and complain about their inability to operate a computer.

See? I too can generalize a group! For my next trick I'll make baby boomers dissapear.

It was my favourite channel .-. I'd come home from school and it was the only thing I wanted to watch, it was so great.
Now it's Jersey Shore and 16 pregnant, and all that crap all day everyday.

Oh I agree that older generations definitely had their moments of grandiose stupidity. The 2k VCR is a great example, especially when 2k was worth much more than it is today.

Millennial are pretty exceptionally screwed though. Their elders have borrowed so much money on their back and somehow managed to convince them they won't have any trouble paying it back.

Cardiovascular dysfunction is doing that just fine, don't worry.

Edit: Oh, and COPD/lung cancer. Because smoking is awesome.

Ah, the good ol days of getting passive aggressively yelled at in a beautifully calligraphic font because I took too long to respond to a girl's message.
