Subsequent career

Harris voiced the character Auntie Poulet in the 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.[13][14] She also wrote a book, titled Keepin’ It Real: A Practical Guide for Spiritual Living.[15]

In 2003, the New York Daily News reported that TV music network Fuse had signed Harris as a spokeswoman.[16] In early 2005, Harris was reportedly appearing on television as Miss Cleo in advertisements for a used car dealership in Florida, according to the Broward-Palm Beach New Times.[17] In 2006, she came out as a lesbian.[18]

In 2014, using the name Cleomili Harris, she spoke about her experiences at the Psychic Readers Network in the documentary Hotline, which focused on telephone relationships between strangers.[15][19]

In 2015, Harris appeared as Miss Cleo in a series of advertisements for the General Mills cereal French Toast Crunch. The Psychic Readers Network intervened, however, saying that it owned the character of Miss Cleo, and the advertisements were no longer aired.[9]
Death

Harris developed colon cancer, which eventually spread to other organs. She died following a long illness on July 26, 2016, at age 53.[2]

Are we (90s kids) part of gen X? or are we gen Y?

>>90784246
Millennial are people born from the early 80s to the early 2000s. By 2020 you're going to start hearing about the newest generation.

>>90785347
We're millennials.

>>90785347
if you were born in the 80s you're a 90s kid and gen Y.
90s births are gen z
00s births are millenials.
10s births should not be posting on 4chan.

>>90784511 Oh please, I'm >>90785329 and I remember seeing GGW infomercials late at light too. Mainly on Spike TV. I could swear I saw some actual breasts and a vag in one around 2008.

>>90785347
Generation X is like the 60s and 70s, especially the 70s.

>>90785434
well, shit I was thinking we were part of genX. I guess it doesn't matter, they had shitty comics then and cartoons.

>>90785427
Millennial doesn't mean born after the year 2000, it means that you were young in the year 2000. This applies for people in their early 20s at the time, to babies and toddlers.

By your logic, Boomers were born in the 70s (they weren't, they partied during the 70s and became hippies and disco people).

>>90785468
Did you remember MTV in the early-mid 90s? All of those teens and young adults were Generation X, because they were born in the 70s.

>>90785468
I lived in Canada, all we had was much music (and muchmoremusic) and talking sock puppet.

If National Geographic is to be believed, Gen X births range from 1961-1981.

>>90785473
Boomers were born during the years following world war ii, the late 40s and early 50s. Gen X was 70s births.

>>90785562
Whoops, my mistake. Sorry anon.

But still, you realize that Generation Y was just the prototype name for Millennial right?

>>90785427
>>90785562
Generations are supposed to last AT LEAST 16 years

Because a generation is a group of people who are the children of the previous generation, in theory at least

There is no such thing as a generation that only lasts a decade.

There are sub-generations like "generation Jones" which are the latter half of baby boomers and you can theoretically claim there to be a difference between 80s kids and 90s kids but there is no definition of a generation that is limited to a single decade

>>90785628
The problem is that on 4chan you have people born in the late 80s, early 90s and late 90s who have typically been considered the same generation by demographers and marketers. However among the people on 4chan you have autists who think they can be their own special generation.

The Clinton presidency is widely considered to be one of the most successful in the past 65 years, so much so that we ended with a surplus. Obviously it wasn't perfect, but it was certainly much better than the Bush administration that followed, and arguably more effective than the Obama administration, not to mention the elephant in the room that is the current administration.

>>90783671
I was born in '86, and I consider myself both an '80s and '90s kid. So much of the media and culture I soaked up were from the '80s as much as the '90s.

But you know, also earlier. As a kid, there were tons of ways to soak up media and culture that were much older. Stuff had staying power back then. TV, movies and music from the '50s to '70s were still everywhere. I watched as much Hannah Barbera and Gilligan's Island as I did Ninja Turtles and MacGyver. The current generation of media seems much more self-contained.

There is no GenY, it was a name that never took. Everyone born after about 1984 and before like 2005 is a Millennial. Generations are not named when people are born, they're named when people come of age.

I was born in 1990. I consider the 90s to be my childhood, and the 2000s to be my teen years.

I was born in 93, just barely old enough to remember a bit of the 90's. I get legitimately nostalgic over 90's media and regularly listen to some 90's alt-rock bands, which puts me in a certain kind of mood.

What the hell?

The Silent Generation were the straight-cut 50s kids (born from the late 20s to the late 40s), Baby Boomers were the hippies, Gen X were the Grunge rockers.

Whoever made this just drew them as the era they were born in and assumed kids popped out of the cooch with long hair and tie-dye shirts.

In my head I figure 1982-95/6ish is millennial. People who remember 9/11 (at least those who were living on the east coast at the time, someone who was 7 and living on the west-coast at the time may not have noticed), but not the Challenger explosion. People who became teens/young adults in the new millennium (00-10).

This isn't a hard and fast rule by any means. It's just my general parameter when I'm thinking of the vague boundaries of the term. Many factors affect this perception.

If we're going by the Strauss-How generation theory, it goes:
1901-1924= G.I Generation
1925-1942= Silent Generation
1943-1960= Baby Boomers
1961-1981= Generation X
1982-2004= Millennials
2005-2017= Homeland Generation

I lived on the West Coast at the time and woke up early because my parents were pacing back and forth on the phone with some family members. Went downstairs to watch the TV and saw the second plane hit and towers collapse before they tried to send us to school, sent us home after an hour and the family basically did nothing but watch the news that whole day. I was 8 at the time, but I remember things very clearly and had a pretty damn full grasp on what was happening.

I think 1995/96 is a very good cutoff. It seems like there was a super hard cultural shift that occurred with people born after then. It makes me feel old as shit talking to people born after then because they often don't know anything, even pop culture, from before the 00's, even really basic shit like Led Zeppelin songs or big movies from before then. By comparison, I feel very comfortable and have a lot in common talking to people born around that time and as early as the 80's, and even as far back as the boomers, because it feels like we all share general cultural touchstones that the most recent generation seems to have dropped out of.

>>90798715
i remember seeing it when i was in 10th grade
we turned on the news and watched the entire thing. lots of girls crying, one fainted when the towers collapsed.

Generation are the Greatest Generation because they were actually adults in the time of the crises of the Great Depression and WWII.

The Silent Generation were just coming of age as the worst of both crises had passed and never got the chance to impose their vision on the era. "Their" war would have been the Korean War.

It's more about knowing stuff to me than the quality of the things involved. Honestly couldn't give less of a shit about big radio hits by the biggest bands of all time, but it's very surprising when younger people haven't heard them despite pretty much everyone older having been subjected to them whether they liked them or not.

>>90798788
The beatniks were mostly born in the 1920s, while hippies were principally the guys born in the 40s. People like my parents born in the 50s were too young to have really been involved in the counterculture era, they were children of the 70s.

I think the internet's mad it so that if you don't want to be subjected to something, you simply don't have to. Now that it's so mobile, that applies to everything. Why listen to the radio when you can listen to what's on your phone and/or streaming service? Why watch the movie on TV when you can watch whatever you want wherever you want? On the one hand it means that you never have to deal with something you hate, on the other hand it means that you never have to get exposed to anything new. Furthermore, because of this it creates an environment wherein there is no true shared culture, because everybody's subjected to what they want and they never have to deal with what they don't, even if it's enjoyable. The closest thing Gen Z has to a shared culture is internet memes, and those are a flash in the pan at best.

I'm very curious to see how the next few decades will look culturally.

Correct. People born in the early 60s weren't boomers, they were the 20-somethings who during the Reagan years couldn't get a job because the boomers, all about ten years older, hogged all the good ones.

I remember hearing George Carlin's daughter on some radio show talking about how her generation (she was born in 1963) was really unsheltered compared to previous generations and were the first to have parents that freely used drugs and got divorced.

This was a lot different from my parents who are only 7-8 years older and still had a much stricter 1950s-style upbringing where you had to say "Thank you." and "Please." and go to church on Sunday.

This generation stuff is all totally subjective and depends on your upbringing

My mom was born in 1962 and she's a late Boomer from head to toe. She was old enough to be a disco teen in the late 70s, and was too old for Gen X stuff like Nirvana.

>>90783671
Well, they are.

90s kids are kids who were born in the 90s.

It is not a title of power, it is a title of time.

Just like every generation, it is never as good as they remember it to be.

Having seen the 90s myself, I have fond memories, but obviously most of that time was seen through rose tinted glasses and after removing the nostalgia goggles, I now see it for what it really was.

My dad was the youngest in a family of 7 sisters/brothers so despite being born in the mid 60's, he's got that 50's style upbringing. My grandpa used to get mad as fuck at me and my brother if we never finished our entire plate of food and would force us to sit at the table until we did even if it took hours. I think it really just depends on the parents generation that raised them.

>>90799793

1985-1994 = 90s kids

The first Gen Xer musicians started coming up in the early 80s, for example Henry Rollins.

Only idiots go to the early 2000s. The smart cutoff is 1996.

If there's something I'd like to say, it's to STAHP lumping those of us born in 1980-81 in with filthy entitled Millennials. We graduated before 2000. Recent sources like Pew Research, Jew york times, and Time magazine have gooned it up by lumping '80 or '81 into their definitions of Millennials, even though we graduated BEFORE the millennium turned.

The term Millennials refers to those from the Class of 2000 and later. Those who graduated in the new MILLENNIum. Graduating in 1999, that's all I (born 1981) heard from news programs like 60 minutes and Peter Jennings tonight - we were the LAST of GEN X. We are not millennials. So please stop calling us millennials.

>>90799925
And also, alternative rock was basically created by guys born in the 60s like Cobain. The later part of Gen X, the guys born in the 70s, were too young to have been involved with that, they were the nu metal generation.

>>90798580
I was born in February of 1997, and I remember 9/11 being one of my earliest memories. I didn't understand all of it, but it was still there. Maybe it's because I was born in the earliest parts of the year, because I have a friend who's turning 20 in September who doesn't remember it at all.

>>90799793
I don't know, I used to consider myself a 90s kid because I grew up with a lot of hand-me-down stuff, whether it was old VHS tapes of Blues Clues, Rugrats, and Ten and Stimpy, recorded footage from Cartoon Network's Powerhouse era complete with a lot of mid-late 90s commercials, reruns of shows and old commercials (Nickelodeon Magazine, Wonder Ball from the 1990s (Tiny Toon Adventures was my favorite show in the early 2000s) like Bill Nye the Science Guy, or the fact that a lot of the shows I watched from Cartoon Network like Dexter, PPG, Johnny Bravo, and Courage all started in the 90s.

It didn't help that the whole "90s kids" thing became really popular during the early 2010s. I strictly call myself a 00s kid now because I grew up in the 2000s. I mean come on, someone born in 87 isn't an 80s kid are they?

From what I've seen, 96fags (at least early 96fags) remember 9/11 to some extent, but then you get to people born in like 98 or 99 and they don't remember it at all.

So I can see why most sources are cutting of Millennials at around 1995-1997 these days, because 9/11 changed the world, and people who remember it had a much different upbringing from those who don't.

Right. Take any musician born in the early 60s like Axl Rose, Henry Rollins, Anthony Kiedis, etc. All of them are total 100% Gen Xers in terms of their upbringing, musical influences, and life story.

>>90799925
>>90799709
There's always the distinction between the musicians and the kids listening to them. For example, the nu metal generation could either mean the guys in the bands (mainly all 70s babbies) or the consumers, who were primarily Millenials.

>>90799066
People born in 1940-45 may not be boomers by birth year, but in terms of *upbringing* I'd say a lot of them are. Just look at John Lennon or Pete Townshend.

See, boomers may've been born after the war, but Silents born in 1940-45 probably still don't remember it, since it ended in '45. Like boomers, late Silents generally had a pampered upbringing and became hippies later on.

>if you're born in 1984 you cant be an 80's kid

What? But you spend 4 years of your childhood from 6-10 within the early 90's.

Honestly i never understood how one fits into a decade and not the other. To be honest it always made sense how culturally the late 90's had more in common with the early 2000's then early 90's had in common with the late 90's. I say this because there was obvious sudden changes and new tech that came about within these periods. By 95, dial up and cable tv became mainstream, computer became extremely cheap, 3d gaming became a thing, modern day pop genre came out of it (boy/girl bands like nsync ect). 05 can be marked as when Myspace and social media started to flourish, people had cable modems, cell phones became cheaper and had more features including their own keyboards ect, online gaming was mainstream and mandatory.

I was born in 89, so I guess I'm a '90's' kid, but honestly did I experience it all? Fuck no. My brother on the other hand did, since he was born in 1980. He was 10 when it started and 20 when it ended. Had the entire package of the 90's, especially during the mtv years being a fan of grundge shit and watching movies like Clerks at 14.

It's pretty easy to figure out actually. Boomers don't remember WWII, Gen Xers don't remember Kennedy, and Millenials don't remember Reagan.

>>90800399
That's like saying the Nixon years had more in common with the 60s than the Carter years.

>>90800444
It did because hippieshit, protests, and Vietnam were still going on in addition to landings on the Moon. The late 70s was much different. Hippieshit was dead, early computers and video games were out, and the precursors to 80s music styles started appering.

Every decade has certain common cultural trends from beginning to end, still, 1998 was much different from 1991 despite being the same decade. Like, I mean, nobody was still listening to grunge in 1998--that was the nu metal era.

>>90800593
And really, Korn had been out since 94.

>>90800669
Kind of, though the alternative rock era really went up until Clinton's second term began. There was a pretty sizable cultural shift in 1997.

>>90800593
In 1998, Cobain was dead, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden had broken up, and Pearl Jam ran off to hide in a cave on Mars.

>>90800700
97 is when South Park debuted and pretty much took over from the Simpsons, which was nearing the end of the road creatively by that time.

Some autists like to argue that to be a boomer, you'd need to have no memory of a world without TV, which wouldn't apply to those war babies who were teenagers before TV became near-universal in American homes.

>>90799988
Howard Stern is a boomer born in 54, but he was a big influence on Gen Xers and started out doing an alternative talk show in the 80s listened to by college kids, and his brand of shock humor was a really Gen Xer kind of thing.

>>90800593
1998-2001 was kind of its own musical scene. You had late 90's pop going on, punk making a comeback again, nu metal like you said, and new types of hip hop making it big, all side-by-side.

Gen Y = Millenials

If you actually remember 9/11, you're Gen Y and a millennial.

Right now the earliest Gen Z members are allowed to post on 4chan, being those born in the 1996 onwards (probably to about 2010).

>>90785427
jesus how are you this retarded

>>90789448
17 years is a bit long. 14-15 years works better, which fits the end of Gen Y closer to 1997/1998.

>>90800444

>That's like saying the Nixon years had more in common with the 60s than the Carter years.

Early 70's did indeed have more in common with the late 60's then the early 60's did. Early 60's still had a large amount of suit and tie culture. 69 was the peak hippy year and hippy garbage was still going strong until 74-75.

>>90798316
The art here is retarded. Shift every fashion style over to the left, Gen Z is too young to have any fashion trends yet that aren't imports from Gen Y.

That's not at all what it refers to and 1980 isn't even the earliest organizations have gone to for the millennial generation.

>>90800071
If you were about to enter or were just in college around 2000 you are 100% a millenial, albeit right at the border (so you do have Gen X influences).

Call it "Gen Y" if you don't feel comfortable calling yourself a /pol/ slur.

That's an easy mistake. Gen X was born in the late 60s to early 80s, so a lot of the teen/young adult stuff in the 90s was marketed toward Gen X, in the same way millennial stuff has been for the past few years.

If you keep hearing a generation name in a particular time period, it's easy to assume you'd be part of it. Blame marketing.

>>90802206
So what you're saying is that for four generations all the marketing in the world has been done by 50+ year old men.

While I seriously doubt this is true, it would explain a lot

>>90802123

Don't think we ever used Kazaa, had limewire though.

Megs and megs of the brak show, sealab 2021, amv's and porn laced with malicious pop ups.

>>90802248
I don't think the age of the marketers is really relevant to it. It's just that teens and twentysomethings will always be a hot demographic, and younger kids will pick up on the things they see marketed, even if it isn't meant for them.

>>90798898

Of course, just do a search.

>>90802248
No, just that pop culture tends to target 20-30 year olds, generally speaking.

Gen Y is still the target audience, which is why so many /pol/acks bitch about the leftist millenial influence on pop culture (though a lot of the content is still made by Gen Xers).

Expect the first "wave" of Gen Z media to start hitting between 2018-2022. It'll be partially Gen X/Y making shit to pander to a new demographic, but also a lot of up and coming Gen Z artists. There seems to have been a similar shift, tonally, around, say, 04, though it didn't really come into full effect until 08 and the Obama years. You'll notice that a lot of the early internet guys (including Moot) start popping onto the scene around then.

>>90802495
Millenial. Anon, just because you don't fit every stereotype to a T doesn't not make you part of your generarion.

The "quirky urban hip jobless millenial" stereotype is just the lowest common denominator.

>>90802206
90s pop culture was pretty much all about Gen X slacker nonsense and shock humor. Beavis & Butthead and Friends and whatnot were very clearly designed with the college/stoner audience in mind.

The animation renaissance of the 80s-90s was also demographic-driven to a large extent, because boomers were having kids (Millenials) and the kid audience became big business.

Cartoons like South Park were made by Gen Xers, they clearly show it in a lot of ways. Cartoons like Steven Universe show more of a Millenial mindset.

>>90802758
>Gen X was born in the late 60s to early 80s

Early 60s to late 70s imo.

>>90802571

>>90802571
but he just talked about 1994 being the cutoff

>>90802796
But then you'd be extending Gen Y all the way back to the late 70s.

>>90802802
There's always an element of demographics involved, some would say the economic expansion of the 80s-90s had to do with a large boomer population in their prime productive years and that the 2008 recession coincided with them starting to retire and causing a shrinkage of young working adults, just as the slow 70s economy may be blamed on the WWII generation starting to reach retirement age at that time (if you want to look at it that way).

How are there this many people that don't know what gen x y and z are though

just google it what the fuck

>>90802865
There's not a clear cutoff, of course just as the boomers gradually transition into Gen X during the late 1950s. My uncle was born in 59, he can't really be considered part of either.

>>90802916
There's a lot more factors involved than that, although it's an interesting theory.

That's a pretty extreme take. Gen X toons are more like Samurai Jack, PPG, Dexter vs. Gravity Falls, Star Vs., Adventure Time.

>>90802960
Yeah, of course there will be transitional periods, but that doesn't mean you have to exclude the people in the transitional zone from both sides. It just means they're similar to the adjoining groups.

>>90802916
The 70s had a big slacker/stoner/free sex culture going on because the largest demographic at that time were dillydallying young adults who wanted to have a good time (and that was the first generation where it was possible thanks to legalized contraception). By the time Reagan was president, the boomers had all grown up and wanted to have families, so they voted for conservative politics that were more conductive to that sort of thing.

>>90803141
Now, I'm going to suggest history is repeating itself and that Obama got elected because Millenials wanted a liberal president for a while who wouldn't get in the way of them having a good time, but now that this generation is ready to grow up and start having families, we have a return now of Reaganism.

>>90803031
Come now, Trey and Matt are total 100% Gen Xers in their mentality. As is Seth MacFarlane.

>>90803228
But Justin Roiland is a millenial. Contrasting adult cartoons against children's cartoons (especially something like Steven Universe) completely distorts the perspective.

>>90803203
You sayin' we're going to have a resurgence of all that 80s Moral Majority/extreme Christfag shit in a few years? God help us all.

>>90803306
Children's cartoons or not, the people making them are still adults and the cartoon will inevitably reflect its creators' world view. 90s-style grossout humor really isn't a thing anymore and definitely not in cartoons done by Millenials. The Loud House is almost a throwback because its creator is in his 40s and has been in the business since the first Bush was president.

Well yes, but it doesn't make sense to compare adult cartoon creators, who are rewarded for provocative, edgy content against children's cartoon creators, who are punished for it.

It makes more sense to conpare against Justin Roiland, who makes millenial adult cartoons, and Alex Hirsh, who wishes he could make millenial adult cartoons. Similar differences, but less onesided.

lyl my parents today were saying with lament that they're old and that Millenials dominate the culture now.

Why can't retro synthwave 80's nostalgia get a foothold?

>>90803461
Still, Chris Savino is a Gen Xer (born in 71) and TLH does have more in common with Family Guy humor-wise (but toned down to be kid-safe) than it does a cartoon created by a Millenial, especially the large component of grossout jokes and 80s nostalgia shit.

And the Simpsons...wow, that one's all over the map since the staff in the classic seasons ran the gamut from war babies like Harry Shearer all the way up to early Gen Xers (a lot of the writers and some of the voice actors).

>>90803558
>and 80s nostalgia shit

Yeah it's funny because whenever 90s nostalgia is brought up, it seems to be almost exclusively a Millenial thing even though Gen Xers were young adults then and should in theory have nostalgia for Nirvana or whatever. It seems as far as nostalgia is concerned, they all jerk off to the 80s.

>>90802495
>>90802571
Learn how to spell, dipshits.

>>90803558
So...exactly what constitutes a "Millenial" cartoon? Is there a specific trait?

>>90803793
It's easy. Cartoons created by Gen Xers are generally full of edgy shock humor because that was just how that generation thinks. They were basically not given any parenting because boomers were too busy doing lines of coke and climbing the corporate ladder.

Millenial-created cartoons like Steven Universe have more of a lolsoquirky thing with lots of references to Internet maymays and 90s nostalgia wanking because this generation was raised by over-protective hoverparents which is why 30 year old virgins live in their mom's basement and have sex with a dakimakura instead of a human female.

Generation Y is literally just another name for millenilals, you moron.

>>90804303
No, millennials is a much larger category than that chart claims Gen Y is.

>>90803558
Well yes, TLH is more in line with the early 2000s toons, which share that same sort of quirky irreverence a la Family Guy but toned down for kids (like PPG and Dexter).

But if I were to make a comparison it would be between South Park/Family Guy and Bojack Horseman/Rick and Morty. Obviously the latter are somewhat more serious character driven projects, and it might be be better to compare against, say, The Critic, but I think /co/ is more familiar with these examples. I think they best highlight how edgy satire has evolved between Gen X and Gen Y.

The Gen Y shows are a lot more cynical towards society, way more insular. In Rick and Morty literally everyone except the leads is expendable (even their alt selves), and so the show focuses mostly on the personal relationships in the family. Similarly, the world of Bojack Horseman sucks, and the characters just have to deal with it. Truth has become a mass produced commodity, and general nonsensical bullshit happens all the time. They both focus on this idea that the world sucks and is doomed, and the only thing we can fix is ourselves and save what we can. It fits in with the Gen Y culture of "if you don't like your current social connections burn them all and find a better one, if they can't handle you at your worst they don't deserve you at their best". It's centered around community, but with the knowledge that community is very fragile. Even Steven Universe, a far more peppy and optimistic show, fits these themes. Ultimately the only thing that you can make better is your immediate community, and you have to accept things as they are because ultimately you are a tiny fish in an unfathomable ocean. Shit happens, and that's okay. (interestingly you can measure Homestuck at the exact point where Gen Xer Hussie started pandering way too hard to millennials when these themes suddenly became prevalent in the comic near the end)

>>90804442

(Cont)
Meanwhile Family Guy encourages Meg to stay with her abusive family because the status quo is alright and the alternative is way worse. And while South Park is cynical, it isn't nihilistic. It's very much a "the world is beautiful and worth fighting for, or at least the second part" kind of world, where there is beauty in the shit and poop jokes, and there's always a happy medium, and if people could just be free we could fix the world. It's far more comfortable in the 80's and 90's world of fallen communism, rising globalism, and good economic standings. Gen Y grew up in the shadow of 9/11, and was forged against the backdrop of the 08 economic crisis, and a lot of the optimism you'd see even in shows like Samurai Jack (Aku may rule the world but I will press on and save it) is based from that.

The Gen X'er complains that he has to get a job in cpaitalist society.

The Gen Y'er complains that he cannot get a job in capitalist society.

The Gen X'er belives the world sucks, but can be fixed.

The Gen Y'er believes the world is doomed, and tries to save what they can.

With that said, I'd like to make a prediction on the direction of Gen Z. I see Gen Z making a big divergence from Gen Y. Without the immediate threats of 9/11, and rebelling against the polarizarion and anger promoted in Gen Y, I see a new wave of "New Sincerity" popping up, more of what we can somewhat see in Wes Anderson films and Father John Misty's album I Love You, Honeybear. Moving away from the irony, sarcasm, and post-modernist ideals of Gen X and Gen Y towards actual openness and optimism.

>>90803903
Anon Gen Xers were the first permavirgins. A lot of the old guard has moved on but Gen Y wasn't the first internet loser generation.

Anyways, there are still edgy millennial shows like Bojack Horseman and Reddit and Morty on, but they're less shock value and more nihilism.

>>90783586
I was born in 95 so... kinda.

>>90801193
I remember 9/11 and I was born January 1st, 1997.

>>90804432
No it's not.

Gen X
Gen Z

These names didn't come out of nowhere. Gen Y is the one between X and Z, that was renamed millenials in the early/mid 80's. There is no "middle generation", it's just Gen Y faggots latching onto Gen X because they don't identify with the millenial stereotypes pushed in the modern day, primarily by the far right.

>>90783882
I was born in 95 so I remember other people being upset.

>>90804432
He's right, though. Stop being dumb.

Gen Y was literally the lazy placeholder name coming off of Gen X before someone thought of something more illustrative. We're going to do the same thing with Gen Z, once we have some more perspective on them.

>>90804538
You were still not in school though. You weren't as heavily affected as your parents, or even the first graders then were.

9/11 was taken personally by basically everyone older than 4 in Burgerland. It was a sharp point of emotional trauma for the country that still affects a lot of America's outlook on the rest of the world.

>>90804432
The original definition for millennial was anyone between the age of 18 and 34.

That's not really true though, one of the things that cursed Gen Xers from the get-go was living in the shadow of boomers who outnumbered them 3-1. The boomers got all the good jobs, controlled the direction of politics, had corporate America cater to them at every phase of life, etc, etc.

Millenials have a much easier go of things; there's more of us and we've come of age as boomers are retiring/dropping off. Since the last couple of years, Millenials are now the largest demographic in the US.

I remember New Years Eve 1997 really well because my parents were watching the movie Coneheads on TV.

>>90804784
Ultimatwly though Gen Y was hurt more by the consequences of Boomer action (9/11, War on Terror, Stock market crash, etc.). Gen X lived in their shadow, but responded with "pfff, nothin personnel dad but I don't even need a lameo job, the deck's rigged anyways". Gen Y shows genuine anger towards the Boomers for directly shaping the biggest (read: worst) moments during the formative years of the millenials.

Lets say that the cutoff date for Millennial/Generation Y was 1996. Any 1997 or 1998 posters feel like they belong more to the generation of someone a few years older than you? I remember when was a kid in the 2000s, I had just learned about generations from one of those children almanac books. It said that Generation Y was born between 1980 and 2000. So for until 2014, I had assumed that was the general statement, until I started to see people claim that Generation Z/Post-Millennials/The iGeneration or whatever marketing term exists, started in 1995.

>>90804712
Pretty much no one in this thread has said that

Did you actually look at the thread you replied in, or did you just kind of assume?

>>90804943
Coming from another '99 baby: I mean we're all at the cuttoff so shit's very relative but I definately don't feel a strong connection to millennial culture. Yeah Gen Z takes inspiration from them, being too early to really shape its own culture, but at the same time the big events that seem to have been really big for a lot of the millennials now mostly out of college seem really distant. I don't remember a lot of the edge and cynicysm of the Bush years, I remember the optimism and H O P E of the Obama years, and the frustration and tension building up to Trump's election.

>>90804784
Yeah, the 80s were a great time to be a Baby Boomer. After fucking everybody in sight and smoking weed, you could become a successful business man making a high 6 figure, and trim off that weight you gained at an aerobics center (and if you were single, get fucking laid because they were hookup central), and generally live a good life. Oh, and let's not forget about the cocaine!

Anyone else notice that the baby boomers went from being stereotypically hippies to being very conservative in the 80s?

Hey, I'm glad you mentioned the cutoff date. Anyone born in the cutoff dates of a generation will feel a bit like a cultural mashup of the older and new generation. Think about people born in the early 80s. As teens, they were pandered too just like how slightly older Gen X people born in the mid-late 70s were in the 90s, but now they're considered the oldest Millennials. The oldest Gen X people went through the same thing, I remember Michael Jackson's Jam from his DANGEROUS album back in 1991 was talking about how Baby Boomers finally came of age, as if the last ones were all full grown adults. Wouldn't it make more sense to call Gen X the ones coming of age?

>>90805148

It feels incredibly strange either way you look at it.

>>90805235
The first Gen Xers attained puberty during the Carter years, this was notably when punk rock ousted the hippie-era bands and some would say that punk was the essential musical movement of that generation--Eddie Vedder called the Ramones "our Beatles".

>>90805537
Though the punk bands were themselves boomers.

>>90805599
And the hippie bands were mostly Silent Generation.

>born in 1990
>literally a 90s kid
>people way younger than me wearing 90S KID shirts
>Makes me hate my generation
>Don't worry, I hate all humanity
>At least I got my cartoons

>>90805632
Some would say the war babies were early boomers, depends on how you look at it. The 50s rock-and-rollers, they were the generation before the boomers.

>>90805599
If you mean the Ramones, yeah they were born in the late 40s-early 50s but the Sex Pistols and a bunch of other pioneering punk groups' members were born in the mid-50s and were borderline Gen X. And then it didn't take long for Black Flag to show up whose members were definitively first wave Gen Xers.

But all the same, there was a definite generational shift in the music world during the late 70s, just as happened again in the late 90s when the earliest Millenials were attaining adolescence.

>>90805673
yeah it's funny how half of the 90s rock guys are dead while most of the 50s guys like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc are still here.

I was born January 1996 and I feel more like a Millennial than gen z. The NYTimes says I'm the first of Z, but Gallup says i'm the last of millennials, so I've felt a bit torn between the two groups.

But I still feel more like a millennial because I remember 9/11 (granted, maybe people born in *late* 96 don't), I still grew up on VHS and floppy disks since that shit was still around until like 2006, and I grew up on shows like Samurai Jack, Avatar, and Ned's declassified, whereas Gen Z grew up on Chowder, Flapjack, and iCarly.

>>90806298
My infinite nigga. May the God-Emperor bless Chicago and Detroit for creating modern electronic dance music, and England, Germany, Scandinavia, and The Netherlands for further expanding on It.
