JCC Waiting for The Baby Boomers to Die, Part II

I grew up on the OT. The pure OT, not those crappy Special Editions. My parents made absolutely certain I wasn't corrupted by them. I have fond memories of Han shooting first and the lack of awful CGI "enhancements". I still have my VHS tape of ANH, and you other Millennial people indoctrinated by the PT and SE's will pry it from my cold dead hands.

Reddit is forum vomit.

 

I'm not sure you count as a gen xer unless you have a carefully archived Star Wars laser disc.

 

No I'm a filthy millennial. Born in 1991.

 

ugh. disgusting

 

That's so cute. I've lost the ability to tell the difference between high school kids and children in their mid twenties. They all look alike to me now.

 

Ew, Nineties kids.

1988 here. I prefer the term "Gen Y."

 

In your case it's gen...why?!?!?!?!?

 

If you don't have Star Wars in cave paintings you're a Millennial.

 

I've got ORIG OOT VHS tapes and SE VHS tapes - AND a VCR to play them. (Not to mention DVDs and Bluerays.)

Best of all - I have actual memories of watching the OT in both 35mm and 70mm. OOT. Wondering who this "Biggs" guy was and everything.

Other than #1, I have still to this day early comics, Star Logs, etc.

I was and am a proud fan.

 

I was born in 1999, and I don't know how to use the Snapchats, Vine, or Instagram, and have no intention of learning.

 

1991 B.C.

 

You're the exceptions, not the rule.

When older Millennials say they hate "millennials", they're really talking about Generation Z. In other words, 18-20 year olds, or even younger.

Gen Z is pretty terrible. Gen X parents were incompetent, so they're spoiled rotten. They're sensitive but they're extremely vicious too. Their parents did a terrible job keeping them grounded in the real world, can't work out problems face to face. Entitled, lazy, narcissistic.

Being born in 89, I feel like the 90s was the last decade where kids actually played OUTSIDE until the streetlights came on.

The can be traced back to 9/11, and became more apparent around 2009-2010. Kids started playing outside less and became couch potatoes. They grew up on grey shooters like MW2 and Halo, not actual good games like Banjo-kazooie. Shows like "Hannah montana" and "iCarly" taught them to be be bratty and disrespectful.

There was also a huge shift in personality. When I was going to school we only caught the tail end of that whole 'self esteem' movement that turns children into self centered a**holes who expect the world to be given to them. 95 and up, that crap was entrenched from the first grade.

 

Beezel, is that you?

 

When older Millennials (25-34) say they hate "millennials", they're really talking about Generation Z. In other words, 18-20 year olds, or even younger. The kids who are all about swag and selfies.

 

The issue I have with baby boomers is that they got a really good deal during their young adult years (thanks to the rightly good policies put by the greatest generation) and now they're wanting a good deal at the expense of young people today during their old age.

 

Young Hitlers in the making, I tells ya!

 

When people talk about hating Hitler, they're really talking about Adolf Hitler. In other words, the Fuhrer of Nazi Germany who provoked Europe into WW2 and presided over the Holocaust.

 

Thanks for the history lesson....?
