I also think he's wrong but he is talking about young millennials. I'm a young millennial. I was born in 1993. This post is not about you.
That’s my point. The post could easily apply to me and I’m not a young millennial, or a millennial at all. There’s no correlation.
Ah gotcha. Honestly I think what the poster is referring to is comparing himself the boomers/alphas... fortnight, Roblox etc etc being so wildly popular
To be fair, Millennials tend to forget us Gen-Xers exist almost as much as the Boomers do. The crazy thing these days though is that outspoken millennials still think of Boomers as being anyone over the age of 40. The youngest boomer is 60 this year. The youngest millennial is 40.
[edit]. I thought “surely I couldn’t have written ’youngest millennial’ — and there it is. Oldest. Oldest millennial.”
Gen x is known as the lost generation for a reason.
The youngest millenial is not 40 ... there are millennials in their late 20s. That would be maybe youngest gen X? Did you forget about Gen X?
No, I wrote youngest instead of oldest. And you’re the first person to both catch it and comment. Added an edit :)
I kind of figured but it was really funny given the context 😂😂
Indeed :D — that’s why I left it :)
