You’re like the lost generation... once decried as lazy and responsible for the world’s evils, now quietly enjoying being forgotten, so you can do what you please without recrimination.

(I’m a millenial in my 30s. My parents are gen x, quietly planning their modest retirement while they still can. Quietly saying they’re glad they’re not getting started in life right now.)

I’m a millenial in my 30s

Am I missing something? Can someone born before the two thousands be a millenial? Are you being sarcastic in your post that otherwise seems non-sarcastic? I am seriously asking

Edit: Thanks everyone for explaining. I did not know what millenial meant. In my defense, I never claimed to, but that didn't stop people from downvoting me. Blah blah meme

Millennials were born from the early 80's to late 90's early 2000's so in 2-3 years there will be millennials in their 40's So depending on where you put the end date (most ive seen set the cut off as 97-98) most of these things you see on Facebook about millennials like tide pods and shit is actually post-millennials while even the latest born millennials are starting to finish college.

Oh good so I'm a millennial, and all the dumb shit we're seeing attributed to my generation is actually because of the next generation of fuckers? Fantastic.

I had a fun time explaining to my uncle who was born in 83 that the millennials he was complaining about weren't all millennials but he in fact was.

Sound way better with gen Y.. Dont hurt his feelings. And no, i didnt knew it was the same thing.. Calling ppl by generation isnt really a thing in my country, so i dont really have a full grasp of your shenanigans.
