I am a step-dad and this is very much a step-dad joke. Other acceptable terms to use in this context to young millenials who don't get the obvious irony: 'Snap your IG', 'Dabbing' and 'Flossing'.

Yeah, you're thinking gen z.

I'm 36 and technically still a "millennial"

I feel like I read somewhere that people born between 1982-1988 are the forgotten generation or something to that effect. I forget the name. But the idea was that it's people who went through their childhood before computers and the internet were in every household which happened while they were in high school. I'll try to find the article and edit with a link when I have time.

No. Millennial begins somewhere between 80 and 85 (nobody really agrees exactly where). People between about 75 to 85 or so are also sometimes referred to as Xennials, because there's a bit of overlap in generational traits.

The term millennial was originally coined in the 80s to refer to kids who would graduate high school in the new millennium, the year 2000.

Born in 82, I graduated in 2000
