As an older millennial, I felt the same way when media outlets were lumping my 30-odd year old ass in with 16 year olds not even out of high school and calling us a cohort.
You have more in common with people nearing 50 than you might want to believe. The main difference is that they’ve experienced things that you haven’t yet. But you will, sooner than you probably think.
One thing my dad always said about adulthood was “the days are long but the years are short.”
And boy was he right. Now he’s an old man, I’m staring directly ahead at my 40’s, and the list of dead people I used to know continues to increase in number and velocity.
Sometimes it feels like I was 22 a few years ago but then I blinked and now I’m here.
I heard my hip make a pop noise earlier. It doesn’t hurt yet but I’m sure it’ll be the most painful thing I’ve heard today. And I just know it’ll be my back that paid the price.
The 1900s!? 😂 That is simultaneously the funniest and most painful thing I have read today.
I often refer to things my friend did as a kid/young adult having occurred last century.
Do one better, say it was last millennium.

I’m not even 30 yet and I not only remember floppy disk’s, I used them in school.
You grew up in a poor school district, didn’t you?
That’s just technology. Maybe think about boomers and then consider again whether you have ‘nothing in common’ with people < 47

The tweet is just asking: How are you and your parents? Nothing to be upset about.
You made an account and chose violence lol
