Despite all the lead poisoning @bumblebee does indeed appear to be a very good comrade
okay let’s guess who they are
I bet Xi posts here
each is one of the deadly fetishes
Just found out about Xennials, GenX-Millennials, also known as the Oregon Trail Generation and Generation Catalano, demographic on the pod (not sure which one tbh) and while I’m definitely not one, I do know people who are, and it is a bit of an obscure “generation” as meaningless as a lot of those labels are.
They typically were around and active when personal computers and the internet as we know it starting coming up, but they also remember a time when things were very much still analog as well. That has to be a weirder one cause they likely don’t ID with both GenX and all the shit millennials grew up watching or doing.
Hey, it’s me!
Grew up with landlines, but I also remember getting on AOL in high school with all those free discs they sent out. And lots of think pieces about the internet, none of which predicted exactly how much of a shithole it would become!
And I definitely played Oregon Trail on grade school computers, as well as C&C: Red Alert and Warcraft 2 on high school computers.
It is weird. Too young for Gen X culture, too old for stuff like Harry Potter. Growing up alongside the internet, however, was indescribably cool.
Even just like 15 years ago the internet was insane. Message boards sucked in a lot of ways and in others were quite good. Also there was clearnet drug sites operating like crazy and were super legit lol
Honestly, I think watching in real time as platforms like Facebook and Twitter grimly foreclosed on the creative and experimental possibilities of the early internet was a large factor in my radicalization.
There’s also the less reported zennial which had social media since they were children, but it was Facebook and Twitter instead of Snapchat and Tik tok.
that’s me then but add in MySpace instead of Facebook because for a time FB was college/student .edu emails only who could register.
Haha same here, I think that’s just millennial, I’m thinking like, people who had Myspace at 11 years old though.
I’m 30 but this sounds like me because my elementary school had 10 year old computers in 1997 and I didn’t get internet in my house until I was 13
