As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I’m trippin or there actually is one.
Generation X here.
Why is your profile pic an outline of me
Haha, I’ve been using old.lemmy.world for so long I’d forgotten I even had the Space Needle profile on my account. Was truly puzzled for a minute.
“How do they know I’m in Seattle? Oh, yeah.”
As someone who lives in the PNW that PNW clued me in.
No, it’s because you’re wearing socks with your sandals
One of us!
Generation strange.
Sun don’t even shine through our window pane.

Hey there 00’s brother!
Another fellow 00’s sister reporting here !
How do you do fellow zoomers?
Want the suffering to end
Geriatric millennial checking in from 1983.
I like the “Oregon Trail generation” name someone mentioned earlier too, I might lean into that one more in the future. Remember playing Math Blaster on an Apple Mac Classic in elementary school computer lab? Then you were there too!
Ditto though '84
Same year!
Mavis Beacon teaches typing. BBSs. Cassette tapes with the pencil. I had a Spectrum that used cassettes before I got my Amiga 500.
There are dozens of us!
Same
This one. I was born in 85, but in very poor, very rural Pennsylvania. I describe my upbringing as nearly gen x, with some millenial quirks.
I like to use Oregon Trail generation too. It’s the perfect label for those of us who essentially had computers inserted into our childhoods at some point.
Computers pre-date us by a lot, obviously, but it’s more about the mass market computers (and home video game systems) that normal people could access.
Millennial, born in '91
Boomer. We were looksmaxxing before it was cool in Ohio, fr fr, no cap.
GEN X. The best gen.
We were nihilists long before the internet proved us right.
Plus we gave you grunge. You’re welcome.
well nirvana is my favorite band
I saw Nirvana in '92. It was nothing special, sorry.
No need to apologise. You’re allowed to be wrong.
– In case it’s not clear, that’s a joke. I feel like “smart ass” needs a tag like sarcasm has (/s).
It’s not really a controversial opinion that they were often awful live. This particular concert (and their only concert ever in Denmark) can be found on Youtube.
what bands do you like then?
I do like Nirvana, which only embiggens the disappointment. I saw Pearl Jam on the same festival and they were awesome.
Last month I saw Beth Gibbons (Portishead singer), Metallica twice and went to the Copenhell metal festival (saw too many bands there to mention). This morning I bought tickets to The Flaming Lips. Tonight I’ll be seeing Rammstein. Tomorrow a one-day ticket to the Roskilde Festival with the wife, where I’ll be seeing PJ Harvey, Myrkur, probably Jane’s Addiction and then whatever.
I guess that is a pretty good representation of my taste in music and also an explanation of why I’m broke.
thats pretty darn cool
I appreciate your perfectly cromulent use of the word “embiggens”, here.
Thank you
Thanks for taking me on a search journey… to appreciate Beth, and Portishead beyond Dummy. Please do recommend any specific highlights. I’ll be going through their (and her) albums now.
She has only released two albums (there could some she collabbed on that I’m not aware of): Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man - Out of Season and her recent solo album Lives Outgrown.
It’s not as dark as Portishead and the music is more minimalistic, some of it may be closer to acoustic/folk, but she sings beautifully. If you get the chance to see her live, you should go. During the concert they covered a single Portishead song and the tears were literally streaming down my face.
Another tip: If you like Portishead, you should also give the Goldfrapp album Felt Mountain a listen.
Right on the zoomer and millennial line
Gen Z. For once we are a minority on a social media platform that isn’t facebook lol
Same, and it’s honestly a little refreshing
Memes are lacking though and I finally know why
millennial
I’m right at the edge of still being a millennial I think…
I don’t wanna be gen z… pls
As a fellow Gen Zer
Fellow to whom now?
not you
Obviously
Gen X / Xennial, analog childhood, digital adult hood.
Gen Z reporting for duty
Elder millennial here
Elder Millennial as well, sometimes referred to as a Xennial.
One month earlier, and I would be the tail end of GenX
Eldest of millennial.
I voted for ‘generation crash and burn’ but it got cut off on the print out, so…
I’m a cusp Milennial-Gen Z but I identify more with Gen Z values in my country, possibly because I was introduced to computers and the internet at a young age, even in a developing country.
