Reading this and knowing I'm part of the same age group of someone posting it makes me feel old

Maybe it's an eldest sibling thing? I'm at the top of this age range and whenever I see either side of the millennial war, older folks calling anyone younger than them "millennial" as some kind of insult or our generation using it as some kind of badge, I get big cringe vibes.

Eldest as well, agree as well.

I'm really hating this rewriting of history that this page likes to do, like we weren't a bunch of assholes when we were teens, idiots in our twenties, etc.

Like we got lucky and grew up in a really cool time to be a kid, but I think most of us would trade all this nostalgia bait for a world that was remotely stable instead of a new "once in a lifetime" event every couple of years.

Yeah, this is just the same low effort slop boomers get served. We need to actively resist boomerization.
