If we are adopting the ‘media culture’ view, then you need to at least be around 6 to start making the abstract connections necessary to make lasting memories about media.
So in 91, some ‘90’s kids’ are turning six and able to effectively even be cognizant of a council, whereas some 90s kids are yet to be born.
Or all generational cadres are made up arbitrary bullshit but if you watched Ducktales AND Rescue Rangers, and knew bugs bunny when he was still racist, then it is likely you and I will have a lot more in common than 90s kids who knew Spongebob and Blues Clues.
If you’d stop being the majority of conservative social media personalities we’d stop trying to forget you, you Charlie Kirk looking goofy motherfuckers.
Xennials like myself had barely a few years (in my case months) before the dotcom bubble ruined our one generational leg up.
If I had been smart and dumped IT and went back to school for writing, I’d probably have a house, but stupid autistic me wanted to fucking be a computer person…
Tech pays just fine. Maybe not as much as being a lawyer, but there are people who make £50-100k per year working in tech as programmers, engineers, or professors. That’s a reasonable salary for most of the country. I know there are people in America making way more, though that does have to cover health care.
Not if you were caught in the middle of Florida when IBM and everyone else pulled out from the dotcom crash, flooding the entire state with thousands of career IT people WITH FUCKING IBM ON THEIR RESUMES and you are a naive little autist with literally zero support fresh out of college.
Sure there are parts of the world my experience would have landed me a living wage.
Not in florida in the 90s. I never broke the equivalent of £30k till I crawled out of that humid hellhole.
I never recovered and people never seem to tire of dismissing it all as my fault.
You’re talking about things that happened in the 90s. If you are still struggling now 3 decades later because of that then I have to question if you are the problem. I know people about my age (I was born in 2001) getting mortgages working in tech without even a proper computer science degree, just doing desktop servicing and repair. There have been some rough times recently with people getting fired after the pandemic ended and with the AI boom. However there have also been new opportunities thanks to AI. I am getting funded to do a 3 year PhD with a 19K a year bursary thanks to AI hype. If there is an AI bust that just means more jobs for regular programmers as companies realize that replacing them with LLMs wasn’t a good idea. If not then anyone who can make or work with AI models is quids in.
I have never worked in or been to America so I have no idea what has or hasn’t happened in Florida before I was born, nor do I care. Given that was three decades ago you shouldn’t really care either. If it’s that big of problem can’t you “move state” since America is supposed to be so big and diverse? For me to leave the UK which is much smaller I would need to go through immigration. There are booms and busts in all markets and always will be until we can overthrow capitalism.
As a late GenX 90s kid: Fuck you for forgetting us AGAIN.
But this specifically is calling out getting the title of millennial, why would you expect gen X to be a part of the meme?
We were 90s kid first, we fucking founded the council.
I’m not trying to start shit, but wouldn’t all people who were 90’s kids start the council at the same time due to how time flows?

Although it is fun to eat popcorn while the millennials and the boomers yell at each other.

I believe were called Xennials.
Bro stealing the remote from your little brother who was watching doug to watch MTV was not being a 90s kid. You had punk rock, give us something.
Yeah, but as a member of Gen X, we’re the last to be able to own property.
Swings and roundabouts, innit?
Sure that’s possible for older GenX.

Nice try troll, I hereby excise you from my internet experience forever.
I am not a troll. I am talking from my own personal experience. It is good though when the trash takes itself out.
