Dr. Gonzo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Fucking hell, what is wrong with some people? Shows from a different decade should be judged by the standards of that decade. Not this fucking retarded decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it or it offends you, don't watch it. The irony is that some episodes of South Park would actually back up things like equality and against homophobia and racism. Not that the soft twats would notice that before being offended mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traits aren’t purely technological based. No but it's a large component, having everything at the press of a button, instant gratification through social media and other outlets preceding seeping into personal and work life expectations. You can tell I'm bored at work because I'm actually debating this but you are a millenial regardless of the fact that it's just used as a term to group the opinions of people that older generations do not share or like together to discredit any form of progressive thinking regardless of how radical it may or may not be. Much like calling people generation snowflake it's a lot easier to tarnish someone's reputation rather than actually engage in a point for point debate over whatever issue is being discussed and is essentially a sign of a lack critical thinking and just a show of general ignorance. So I wouldn't worry by the fact that your birth year suggests you are a millenial because it's all a load of bollocks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Iconoclast, a consumer research firm, the first Millennials were born in 1978. Newsweek magazine reported that the Millennial generation was born between 1977 and 1994. In separate articles, the New York Times pegged the Millennials at 1976-1990 and 1978-1998. A Time magazine article placed the Millennials at 1980-2000.

I don't even think those writing pieces on millennials even know. I did find what I was looking for though, with those currently between the ages of 17 and 35 classed as millennials (so 1982/1983 to 2000/2001). https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-42519073 @Bluewolf well and truly proving my first point.

Spike Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Millennials is an American term just like Gen X and the Greatest Generation, it doesn't apply to anyone else. So no, @Smiley Culture isn't a Millennial, @Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The 'generations' is purely an American phenomenon, as they are cultural observations of different phases in American history. The rest of the world does not have Lost Generation, G.I. Generation, Silent Generation, and the Baby boomers, so it cannot have Gen X, Gen Y, or Gen Z.
