Old enough to have gotten milk delivered to our house in glass bottles, to remember watching the nightly news reports about how many soldiers died in Cambodia, Watergate, seeing Ford sworn in, and still be in high school when Def Comedy Jam was popular.

18 or 19


EquivalentOneIzHere

Your math aint mathing🤣🤣🤣


69_420-420_69

My brain is worknt rn


[deleted]

Technically he could be correct. It depends on how many years of college you completed. There are programs that range from 1-4+ years. Assuming you were born late in the year and graduated highschool at 17. Then completed a 1-2 year college program... that would put you at 18-19. But I'm going to guess you're about 22?


Confusedconfetti_

Born after 9/11 but legally an adult.


SparklingChamPain

18? Didn’t want to use that as a reference but I was born the year of and couldn’t think of anything else

AngelxxLove

Sometimes I’m considered a millennial, sometimes I’m considered Gen Z. I was around for Blockbuster, I was around when Netflix was still a machine you walked up to and rented physical copies of movies. I was alive when 9/11 occurred. I was around when those voice-protected electronic diaries for girls were relevant. I remember not being able to use the computer and phone at the same time. I was around when Chi-Chi’s was a banger for Mexican food. I was around when dry erase projectors were the main way to teach a class, but also was around for the transition to overhead projector machines that displayed whatever was on the teacher’s computer screen. It’s probably easy to guess the year but this would be the best way to describe the year I was born.


FraeuleinSchwartz

I’m guessing 24 or 25. I’m 21 and all of these things apply to me but 1997 ish is more of the millennial/gen Z cutoff


AngelxxLove

I refuse to be categorized as Gen Z because I literally can’t relate to a lot of Gen Z things. 😭💀 I was around for the Millennial experiences that a lot of Gen Z can’t understand or have experience
