My favorite I’ve heard is a friend made the distinction of Elder Millennial: Old enough to remember life pre-internet, young enough to still be relevant.
Trying to play red alert or age of empires and having to fill in a box for baud rate, but I have no idea what baud rate fucking is. Now we need to make another phone call and start the whole process over again.
We were in high school by the time the internet really started picking up, but we’re exposed to tech early enough to learn it.
We also had much jankier software. I’m finding that the kids coming out of college now in non-tech fields are less tech-literate than 10-20 years ago because all the smart devices they’ve grown up on just do everything for them.

Considering Boomers still run the world, I wish that were true.

It feels like a good place to be.
At what age do you think one becomes irrelevant? Around the time your kids are out of the house?
I have no idea lmao. I think the last half is there for a self confidence boost, since it’s subjective.
Edit: Maybe once you give up on slang from new generations?
If this one wasn’t so shit at creating new slang, maybe it wouldn’t be so fuckin’ easy to give up on it?
ah, shit.
No cap, fr fr. 👀
If my life is accurate, irrelevancy begins at 36. Too old to be hip, too young to be financially well established.
Those of us who remember the tale of the land line telephone…
“Maaaaa, get off the phone, I’m trying to get online!”

My first telephone was a rotary. More than once I didn’t call pizza Hut because it had 3 0’s at the end.
Lmao. I remember a rotary but I was too young to be calling anyone.
