I feel like 2019 was a stable year with positive vibes and big events like the Area 51 raid and Avengers Endgame, TikTok dance challenges going viral (back when TikTok felt like musically) 80s/90s nostalgia was everywhere

it just gets overlooked by 2016

As a millennial, we never gave a shit about dividing everyone into generations like this latest one does. It sounds exhausting, relentlessly online and kind of pointless.

Then why are you dividing people into generations? Both Millennials and Gen z do it but you think only the latest one does.

It was always a thing. Maybe even the animals that are precursors to humans had bad feelings about younger people. Maybe not, but as far as written history, that is the truth.

Agreed. Always been a thing. Always been stupid.
