I watched 9/11 happen in a cafeteria of my high school on the one single 20 inch CRT our school had on wheels. I actually used one of those AOL CDs to get access to my first internets. I am technically a millennial, but I really have nothing in common with the whole aioli crowd.
It's probably something you'd have to experience in southern california. It used to be confined to the hipster malls, but now it's everywhere. Like fried chicken isn't served as just fried chicken, you have your 3-5 sauces that have to come with it. Random aioli is an ingredient on so much shit now, and people love it. I find it annoying.
Babyboomers: The second most despised generation lol.
Yeah, it's frustrating. If I could do away with one thing in the world, it would be vast generalizations.
The only tangible thing that connects a generation is the economy and historical events. I personally lean towards the agreement that the millennial cut off is about 95-96. Basically those who can remember life before 9/11 and pre mainstream internet/social media. I have no idea when it starts though. Generations are hard to define and all too often way too general.
