    29 year olds aren’t really millennial, they’re borderline I guess, but the main factor in my mind is our general shared experiences. We were walking, talking, and fully aware of the world to actually experience the turn of the millennium. We know exactly where we were and what we were doing when 9/11 occurred (at least American millennials).

    Most average American 29 year olds now probably don’t remember a time with a totally shit computer, but it was some of the best on the market at the time & we were really excited. It booted so fast, just a few minutes! 😆 Did they play Reader Rabbit? How about Oregon Trail?

    They didn’t really see the debut of purely digital MP3 players, or the Moto RAZR.

    I sang the Reading Rainbow song to a Gen Z kid & he had no fucking clue what it was. 😂 Funny, and sad.

    But those born in '96 tended to associate with us more than hard Gen Z, so idk. Definitely…borderline…
