don't be afraid to catch feels...

lol yes indeed. I think if I was in my 20's in the 90's it would have been so awesome!

Are you tied to a ball and chain and kids now then?

Yes. Two kids and a wife. They are great of course but it means I'm tied to a job I don't enjoy and can't afford to move to a less stressful job, I less travel, have almost no free time, fewer nights out with friends and family etc. Life is good right now but just not as free as in the 90's. I also think society is worse now. I just remember most of the 90's being huge fun. No-one needed safe spaces. We could air our opinions without being shouted down by someone offended on behalf of someone else (that wasn't actually offended) and we had privacy in our lives. Houses and cars were actually affordable too.

Why do people keep going on about millennials though? If being born on a specific date is enough to define a person then may I also recommend astrology? If I was born 4 months earlier I would've been cool but I missed the cutoff and therefore I am to blame for every 1st world problem :p

I know the FEELing :)

It was a great era and the music was on point. Life is good when you are free and single but you don't appreciate it then I guess.
Still be happy and positive always.

Ah yes the music. So many good bands around back then. I recall on several occasions the whole pub suddenly bursting into group song when something like Don't Look Back In Anger came over the jukebox. Not on a karaoke night but just spontaneous with the whole pub lifting the roof off. It was like our generations version of the 60's summer of love. Everyone seemed happy. I missed the 60's (born in 69) but at least I had a proper shot at the 90's. If that comes around every 30 years then my kids are going to love the 2020's :D
 
By feels one presumes they mean feelings and I've never had a feeling, not even once. I'm far too manly to have ever had feelings of any kind - with the possible exception of misplaced anger towards anyone who has a different opinion to me OR says things slightly differently for fun. I call them ********** or millennials (i believe the two are interchangeable) and I say this over and over again, in perpetuity, until the words lose all their meaning. To my knowledge there have been no such historical instances of the youth using their own language to communicate with each other, so i find this whole thing pretty uncool. It's definitely not because I'm growing increasingly confused and out of touch with the new world I'm living in and would prefer if things stayed exactly as they are, thank you very much!

Ohhh and another thing - my ancestors didn't come over here and force their religious doctrine on the existing populous just so somebody else could come over here and try to force THEIR religious doctrine on ME. I'm angry at that too and don't at all see the irony.

Otherwise no feelings, ever.

Millennials are a thing though it's nothing to do with date it's to do with being born in a world that does not remember no internet or mobile phone.

But it is pretty well defined in terms of dates, from 81-97, so actually most millennials probably do remember what things were like before mobile phones and the internet. I didn't have either until I was 19. What difference does it make anyway? I don't remember what it was like before telephones and TVs were in every home, and I bet previous generations probably thought we were missing out on some irrelevant life experience. Who cares?

I am wrong then, I thought millennials were people who were teenagers in the 00s

Just shows how old and out of touch I am.

Those dates line up more with Generation Y than Millennials.
 
It's not bad for a pop tune, I kinda liked it when it first starting airing. Now though... It's turning into the new Despacito!

I think that's the real problem with pop tunes. Some them are actually pretty good, but most of us listen to them more then the music we actually LOVE thanks to radios in offices, car shares etc.

Annoyingly, the definitions are not actually well defined. But in my head, I define them as such:

Born end of WW2 - mid 60s: Baby Boomers
Born mid 60s - mid 70s: Generation X
Born mid 70s - mid 90s: Generation Y
Born mid 90s+ : Millennials

Why do I group them as such?

Well Baby Boomers are very well defined, basically the oldest generation to live without any world war.

Generation X were far enough removed from the WWs to have the more rebellious nature that you can associate with hippies, disco types, punks and new wave. All your classic anti-conformists.

Generation Y were the ones to have more defined memories of before the digital revolution, growing up pre-internet, but being able to experience its rapid rise as teens/young adults. They also witnessed the significant acceleration of consumerism and marketing.

Millennials basically don't remember the pre-internet world, and are whiny little so-and-so's (for the most part) :p

Problem i have with radio/pop music in general is its basically a loop of the same bleedin songs a hundred times a day, even on the rare occasion its a song you like it just gets flogged to death.

Carsharing is fine, drivers car drivers music, but i cant abide it in the workplace, if your gonna let people listen to tunes just let them use earphones in the workplace, and if thats unsafe then just play nothing.

Was that meant to be read a different way?
