I love you Mr. Eve 6 sir I saw you and Everclear, Space Hog, and Soul Asylum live back in like 2014 in Nashville and you gave me a hug and awakened my sexuality and I named two rats after you love you
It's fucked up that a generation that's been so fucked over by older generations has to become an older generation i feel like you guys should get a pass
If it helps, not only will we not remember your songs but neither will you, so we'll all just mill about and mutter about Pingu and how we all need to poop in the middle of a rainy field in Rhode Island
Saw Fastball two summers ago and they promised a tour of nothing but 3 hours of "The Way" as their retirement celebration. Perhaps "Inside Out" is due for the same treatment :P
Sundowner Fest- held annually in the homes parking lot, just to make things easier. Starts at 730 am and ends at 3:45, ensuring access to early bird dinner.
I bet your lyrics will be among the few things we still remember at that point. It'll be hilarious watching my kid try to puzzle out why the first thing I've said in years is "always stupidly sarcastic / my hyper-spastic..."
You probably have the means and enough friends to carry out my plan for this. 5-10 people buy a house, put a ton of money in a trust (but half of what long term care costs) and we get a hot nurse and a not-hot nurse for diaper duty. (All nurses are hot, thank you nurses) and we drink and play cards.
you must have been pretty young when you had your hit song, because I remember listening to it when I was like 14 and I'm only 5 years younger than you.
Right?? I turned 40 this year and while I appreciate that my younger friends still think of me as a person rather than an Adult, the linear nature of time is fucking with me
Please? I'd like a pass. Really sad thing is how much of life has been in limbo waiting for the next shoe to drop, never able to get ahead. It's the dead end retailjobification of life itself lmao
I was born in the first year of Millennials. My facial hair is white, I’m on statins, and I have a whole physical therapy mandated stretching routine because my upper spine was making my arms hurt.
About as old as a millennial can get, depending on where you put 1983. Old enough to not remember when you were at the closing of La Luna in Portland with, I think, that own worst enemy band
Especially, us elder millennials turning 40 this year. The number honestly doesn’t bother me, but god the lack of energy and the aching everything are the bothersome things.
Boomers: I hope I die before I get old
Gen X: I also hope they die before they get old
Millennials: I hope I get old before I die
Zoomers: I hope I die
I grew up mostly listening to music from the 70s and most of my favorite artists are dead or 20 years past retirement age, so when I discovered that I was a year too young to even be Gen X, me and my cultivated boomer ass tastes didn't even blink.
I'm genX & everyone younger looks 14 years old to me now (except maybe a few genZs who look like they've probably seen some shit). Otherwise, I am just assuming that every doctor I see is a f'n Doogie Howser type child prodigy.
I dunno, at 56 I’m still listening to loud music loudly, consuming my wine enthusiastically and taking plenty of well planned, carefully considered risks.
Before bothering to look it up I didn't really know I was a millennial, but I landed just outside of the window for Gen X. I have made my peace with most of getting older and I am not especially preoccupied with sleeping with 20 year-olds, I just wish I didn't feel like shit all of the time.
In college we would play the blender song when the bus passed our house because it was the exact length of time it took to circle back from the grocery store across the street and arrive at the stop in front of our house
That’s okay; age is all in your head. There, we live in an eternal vacuum comprised solely of 90s-era inflatable furniture, lava lamps, dot matrix printer paper, MS-DOS, and the cult classics of “Ace Of Base” on cassette.
I feel like the human mind hasn't quite evolved to really understand time as a quality and dimension of existence. Like we can measure and conceptualize it, but really getting it seems like it's a step beyond us currently
I saw you guys live when I was ~14 promoting your self-titled album... and now I have to do daily exercises and avoid putting my wallet in my back pocket to avoid having sciatica pain flare up.
out of five siblings, three of us are gen ex and two are millennials. I didn't know i was a millennial until college, grew up thinking i was gen x because i watched friends and listened to green day.
I suppose now we understand why the elderly of our generation oftentimes saw everyone outside their generation as just kids, even when they were 30 or 40.
Bruh. You’re only slightly older than me, and they say I count as an “elder millennial”. I could totally picture you eating avocado toast and not buying diamonds, too.
My little sister pointed out that she’s turning 40 this year and my brain just doesn’t know how to accept that information. Like, she’s always been 6 years younger than me but somehow that’s not supposed to extend to our 40s.
I saw an episode of Home Improvement recently where Tim was taking about getting the younger kids to watch his show for a young hip vibe “You know…this Generation X” and as an Xennial I almost walked into the ocean.
I'm 41, gone back to school for a masters degree, and I sing along with the blender song every time it comes on at work (I'm doing retail work to more easily accommodate my class schedule).
I literally registered a tumblr url like 6 or 7 years ago that was https://millennialsareold.tumblr.com when I had this realization about myself. Crying sobbing throwing up

“Wanna put this tender chard in a blender..”
Watch it spin round to a drinkable oblivion
Dessert too cuz I cannot chew
I’ll be there tho
"sure you did grandpa... let's get you over to the silent rave."
i've had so many gen x-ers be awful to me just because of my generation and like.. I'm trying, man
How did this happen to me, I was going to be a feral wolf child
33 is fucking magical.
Last year I discovered my love of clipping coupons in the Safeway App.
And prunes.
😭
Can confirm, am old but act 16.
Gen X: I also hope they die before they get old
Millennials: I hope I get old before I die
Zoomers: I hope I die
#ItDoBeLikeThat
Sincerely,
A Xenial.
I do remember thinking I was old when I was 25.
I'm a 41yo millennial and loved wearing '60s styles in the '90s as a teen. Watching teens wear '90s styles now in the 2020's is a bit mind-boggling.
Like, this is how my mom must've felt watching me parade around in her old clothes.
Wild times.
I'm a long way from bopping to "Open Road Song" from the blasted paper cones of a Geo Tracker.
