Now, where is my vodka bottle...

Probably applies even more to GenX, since we had all of those movies about the potential nuclear holocaust in the 80s.

jhonnydangerously.bsky.social•344 days ago

Yup...Y2K, 2012, and then there was that weird year that everyone was sure was the end of the world. I dont remember what year that was.

salazaarfyrfang.bsky.social•343 days ago

Ow. That hurt

paulsoderlind.bsky.social•344 days ago

No, that's just a well weathered Polish lad.

late gen x (1977) & still "big mood"

writerwithcats.bsky.social•344 days ago

Hold up.
I knew about 1999 and 2012.
What was the third? 🤔

jhonnydangerously.bsky.social•344 days ago

2011, some crackpot made a bunch of evangelicals believe the world was going to end on Oct. 21st 2011

alexpuffle.bsky.social•342 days ago

was that the one that had to do with the mayan calendar ending?

jhonnydangerously.bsky.social•342 days ago

No youre think of 2012. That's a whole other thing. It's one of the 3 apocalypse's. No, this was an arbitrary date, some crazy preacher came up with

alexpuffle.bsky.social•342 days ago

oh lol

writerwithcats.bsky.social•344 days ago

Ah.

Fucking weirdos.🤪

heida.bsky.social•344 days ago

Covid?

writerwithcats.bsky.social•344 days ago

Nah, I'd have said 9/11.

Sure the hell felt like it. 😢

heida.bsky.social•343 days ago

Oh right. Good point. (Non-USian here but it affected all of the Western world so…)

The next apocalypse will be a Y2K return tour in 2038:

Okay I need a ruling on this: is Henry Cavill a millennial? Born May 5, 1983

jadehawk.bsky.social•344 days ago

absolutely yes, he's younger than i am and i'm a millennial

winterthewisp.bsky.social•344 days ago

Pretty sure yeah, he's just an older one

sabbatical.bsky.social•344 days ago

yes, he is. i’m born in 82 and am definitely a millennial culturally speaking. generally the cutoff for gen x is around 1980 i think?

canotartanpaint.bsky.social•343 days ago

The cutoff for gen X is becoming an adult at 18 before the millennium.

jhonnydangerously.bsky.social•344 days ago

Anyone older than 1980 is considered millinial

bluejoe.bsky.social•343 days ago

Yes. But also Xennial really, there’s a range where it blends.

lostinberkeley.bsky.social•344 days ago

Yes but I often see 1980-6 called "Xennials" also.

midnightrem.bsky.social•344 days ago

Yes. I'm an "Elder Millennial" (born June 1981), although the cusp between Gen X (ended 1980) and Millennial (starts 1981) is sometimes refered to as the "micro generation" "Xennials," as we had both an analogue and digital childhood. We grew up as things were shifting to computers & Internet.
