Not at millennials, there were 5 year old millennials
Either way, childhood were blissful years in the 90s
Unless you were an Iragi, a Yugoslavian, a Russian, yada yada yada.
Are these generational terms even used to describe people outside of America?
Definitely in other Western countries, at least. Only makes sense for those countries that had a post-WW2 baby boom though.
Right? It's less messy to compare and complain by generation than by the material conditions. Which aren't particularly the fault of a generation whom also had their own owning class, their own labor and union involvement, as well as different relations to international finance capital.
Yeah, I mean baby boomers are only called that because it was American soldiers returning from war and having a ton of babies. I have no idea what was going on in other countries, or of they experienced a boom too.
I'm a millenial. I was 9.
I'm a millennial. I was -5
You may be a millennial in spirit, which is what really counts, but I don't think most people typically consider people born after ~1995 millennials. Being shaped by the years 2000-2010 I always felt was the defining factor, with all that happened technologically and socially.
Oh yeah?! You calling me a liar? Wanna fight about it?
