worst generation

I wore Doc Martens
is that a Gen X thing

Proud vote for boomers. It basically came down to the Osmonds vs. Sister Hazel--close, but the Osmonds won.

its NOT gen y

we are MILLENNIALS

Oops...I was voting for the best generation. Major error.

w/e

love it when boomers accidentally vote for the wrong candidate

Get off my lawn!

giving a child born in 1980 time to grow into adulthood and be able to reproduce their own offspring

If they fail this requirement, actual speciation has occurred.

i did my part

of course my mommy + daddy called the hospital to talk the doctor who delivered my baby bc the doctor was just not listening to me and it was very frustrating and so i went to my calm place and played some xbox 360 while they handled all the logistics

Boomers worst.

i am starting a millennial posting system on ilx for marginalized millennial ilxors. good - or even just mediocre - posts will now get a gold star. this will encourage everyone to post and we should praise ppl for posting. even if that particular post isn't very good, millennials need to know that just trying is good enough. also, participation trophies for everyone.

i'm a part of this "ILX generation," where are my entitlements.

if you get 5 gold stickers, you can pick any of the following bandaids from the bandaid drawer: powder puff girls, dinosaurs, adventure time

also free ipads

where are my entitlements.

you may have one. two if you ask nicely.

but if only some millennials get 5 gold stars and others only get 1 that will create resentment; everyone should get an equal allotment of gold stars

I DEMAND PARTICIPATORY STARS

is Draw Something the ultimate millennial game, since there's no actual competition?

students who fail to get five or more stars will get an extra ten minutes to work on their posts to make up for their specific posting challenges. they also now have access to the ilx remedial room (aka 77).

pretty sure millenials kick ass at competitive video games so that's maybe not the best road to walk down xp

draw something is pretty competitive! i feel like it could come to fisticuffs sometimes.

how is it competitive, tho? There's no winning or losing, the entire point of the game is to work together for your mutual benefit.

millenials realize that the only true competition is w/ yourself

arbitrary generational delineations are the new astrological signs, let's use them to make reductive characterizations of huge swathes of the population

I go up to people in parties and try and predict their gen

Silents: the path to riches will thwart you with good intentions. Avoid hats. Wednesday will bring a vacation.

Greatests: heavy is the head that wears the crown. Luck comes in sevens. Friday has a present for you.

Xers: Get up on the down stroke. Find pleasure in birds. There's a warm treasure on Saturday.

Millennials: be on the lookout for a swarthy gentleman bearing gifts on horseback. Avoid the color red. Find inner strength on Tuesdays.

i wanna hear more about this warm treasure awaiting Xers on Saturday

arbitrary generational delineations are the new astrological signs

New?

xpost the answer lies within you

Xers: The time to buy is now. What could go wrong? Aim for something as big as possible.

these all sound like alien races in some stargate knockoff. which generation is the new atlanteans and the bionoids?

I'm ready to get up on the down stroke

there seems to be kind of a 1978ish-1983ish island of people who don't really identify as either

hello!

born in 80, don't feel like Gen X (spent my teens reading abt Gen Xers who were twice my then-age), don't feel like a "millennial" either because all the articles I've read about millennials have been about recent college grads who had cellphones from their 10th birthday and Facebook accounts from 13 or w/e, which feels like a divide but that may be just the narcissism of minor diffs since I got my first dialup modem age 16 and joined an IRC teens channel, ahem

haha yes u are gen Y welcome here you go

also born in 80. i'd rather not belong to a generation. all of them seem pretty lame.
