MODERATORS
I was born in 81, so I get lumped in as a millennial AND a gen-Xer AND an 80s kid AND a 90s kid... Anyone I try to have a discussion with assumes I'm wrong because I'm either too young or too old to understand. People older than me think I'm a most leftist bleeding heart liberal that has ever existed, but people younger than me think I'm a hard line conservative half the time. Quite frankly it's exhausting.
Born in 80. Share the feeling. We are called xennials. And it's unnerving... sometimes.
Don't be unnerved by our superior life experience!
Superior... Well. I don't miss the smell of smoke everywhere. But I do miss the slower news cycle. And not having to grow up with any media that try's to tell me everybody is everybody's enemy.
How about the part where only we so accurately can gauge how shitty the internet has gotten in the last 15 years. I don't consider superior life experiences a benefit when they only serve to remind us what was lost and can never be reclaimed.
