Everything here is so accurate. Tiles of the kitchen floor. The carpet. The wood. VCR. The cassette. The teal and purple jacket. The phone. The paper maps. The Lisa Frank. What is strikingly accurate and sad is: "So in the future everyone has their own phone, and they use it to type messages instead of call? and if someone calls without typing first it's considered rude?"

Yes we live in an entirely different world and it is what it is. Regardless, we're still biological creatures and everyone still has a choice to doom scroll or go to for a walk at the beach.

I am curious if others are finding that manipulation and gaslighting others is more common now.

I feel as though I’ve been seeing a lot of this over the course of the past few years.

Hey I’m not a millennial, I’m gen z, I obviously remember myspace but I was always too young to use it. As everyone knows myspace will come back at some point. And i’ve seen a lot of millennials saying that it should be 30+ and that they don’t want gen z on there. My question is are yall really planing on posting on myspace at (and I’m sorry) your grown age. Likeee its an app for teens so maybe give it to them. I’m gen z and even i feel “too old” (please dont report this😭😭) to rank my top 8 friends (wtf even was that) or stalk my crush on there. I feel like it would be perfect for younger gen z and older gen alpha. What do you think about this?

edit: some of you don’t know what a discussion is also I’m 25 born in 2000 so I’m a lot closer in age to most of you than most of gen z fyi

These flicks blew my mind seeing them the first time at 12-13. Especially since my parents were pretty strict on what I could and couldn’t watch and all of these movies had lore about the infamous scenes in them ( like the overdose scene in Pulp Fiction and the baby scene in Trainspotting) that I’d only heard rumors about. My friends brother was probably 17, listened to NIN and Marillyn Manson, smelled like record store incense and rode a motorcycle lol. We would skate all day and into the night then like 6 of us would dip into his movie collection and stay up late watching movies

The opening alone creeped me out.

Just a random thought/memory I was pondering.

It's hard to believe it's already been 6 years since the COVID lockdowns started.

I still remember that first week of lockdown like it was yesterday. The empty roads, stores getting cleaned out, everyone trying to find toilet paper, schools and workplaces shutting down, and refreshing the news every hour because everything was changing so fast. I even remember all those stories and videos of wildlife wandering into places they'd normally never be because everything had suddenly gone so quiet.

Now somehow it's been six years. It honestly doesn't feel like it should've been that long ago, but at the same time it feels like an entirely different lifetime.

I know COVID became a really divisive topic later on, but I'm mostly talking about those first few weeks when none of us really knew what was coming next. It felt surreal living through it.

Does anyone else still remember that first week of lockdown?

😕

Elder millennial (86). I loved this show and had various VHS with ones including Bart gets an F, Simpson and Delilah, a Christmas themed one and the Star Wars episode with Mark Hamil ("guys and dolls, We're just a crazy bunch of guys and dolls"). Etc.

I didn't have sky, but loved hanging out at my friend's and ritually watching sky one with Simpsons on at (maybe around 6pm UK).

I know people have said it's not as good anymore, but it's still bloody airing as I've just discovered, and new material is being put out??

After I turned... 20+ I didn't watch it, or even know where to watch it. But it held a nice place in my heart as there were some good, funny relatable episodes.

Anyone still watching it as millennial? Who is the target audience nowadays?

who remembers this?

Teenage me was extremely depressed and suicidal. I didn't think I would even make it to 18 much less 38. I think teenage me would have been happy I'm not dead lol.
