        Younger millenial. You were cognizant, you were present not only in body but also mind during the “turn of the millennium”. That is the key component of a millenial. You didn’t just slide out of your mom December 21, 1999, oooo, that makes me a millenial! No, bitch, it does not. It is our collective memories & upbringing that define us as a generation.

        You remember where you were, what you were doing when 9/11 happened. Another shared generational experience.

      Makes me wonder if I, an 87, almost count because my schools were too poor to have updated software. Oregon Trail was my jaaaam.
