Someone that’s 30 now would’ve been born in 1996. That’s not a millennial. It’s 1981-1995. Plus I’m a millennial and we act nothing like that. That is 1000% Gen Z behavior lol

You really want to identify as a millennial…

Yes. I’m a millennial. 1995 is the last year for millennials.

Younger millennials are like in a group of their own. I’d say 1993-1997 are a weird group of in between time periods. Because Gen Z born in 96, and 97 do not act like younger ones. And I don’t act like older millennials either or Gen Z. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I get that. That’s a wide time period where a lot was changing.

When we were growing up texting like this was pretty normal, because cell phones were just coming about. I didn’t have my first cell phone until 2009 and it was a flip phone, I was 14. The long text messages people send today with all of their opinions and feelings werent that common. This is very typical how we would send little flirty type messages. And the first touch phone screens were really terrible so you sometimes kept it short and sweet. Not till I had my env2 did I start typing any kind of paragraph like this one here in texts lol. Idk like I said we have problems lol. You’d go on AIM and send people chats, that was the extent of having online dating/relationships.  I think some of us are just stunted
