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.
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.

Born in 80. Share the feeling. We are called xennials. And it’s unnerving… sometimes.
Don’t be unnerved by our superior life experience!

You probably started remembering stuff in '84 and were 9 in '90, so you qualify as both an 80s and 90s kid.
Fucking same. But hey, at least for a few more months, I’m 42, so I got that going for me.
Have you tried being born in a different year?
