My ringtone was a funky chiptune version of O Green World by Gorillaz.

      After being pointed out that I basically nailed the window for just millennials, I realize this comment is really fucking stupid. So if you wanna waste your time…

      I think that’s a good name for kids born between 1980 and 1995. We mostly grew up with NO Internet at all but were pretty immersed in it by the end of high school. I’m young enough to have had both floppy disks and flash drives in my youth. Once my classmates and I got flash drives, that’s how we shared music between each other after we got Chris to download what we wanted from Limewire lol

        Xennial refers to people born from somewhere in the mid 70s to 1980. It’s a narrow subset of Gen X made up of those that were growing up during the information revolution.

        I would say it might apply to someone in the very early 80s. But anyone born in 1995 definitely had their formative years with internet access and are firmly millennials.

        To me, the earliest Millennials were the class of 2000. It always felt like there was extra pressure on us because we were going to be the first of a new millennium.

        The divide was especially stark in my high school. The class of 99 - the last of Gen X - were kicked out of every pep rally and assembly for being disruptive, while the other classes were all well behaved and didn’t really understand why they were acting this way.

          Wait I’ve never heard this divide before. I’m one of the last years of gen x, and we were definitely disruptive and anti establishment for school shit like assemblies. I figured all high school kids hated authority and rules. Did millenials not have this attitude? Why?

        I had to drive over to a different truck shop for a flash drive this year.

        On my car I use a flash drive to crack the software.

        In my shops library they have a few floppies.

        :')

        Hell yeah brother.

        My Motorola SLVR would blast “oh my god that’s the funky shit” from the Prodigy - Funky Shit sample of the beastie boys.
