Can't believe I'm now old enough to be lumped in with people born in the 1900s π.
Edit: I'm only 22 years old; why am I lumped in with people who are getting close to 50 years old?
Well, just like millennials, you'll never be able to retire. So good for you for still being young I guess?
Is called being a slave we are the modern slave
bro got pressed over a twitter reply π no one lumpin you in with the adults bro ur good
The 1900s!? π That is simultaneously the funniest and most painful thing I have read today.
You just reminded me of this.

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.
The thing is, I am still a young adult. I was only born in '04 and turned 22 a couple of months ago. Can't believe I'm lumped in with people who are nearly 50 years old. I have nothing in common with people who are old enough to remember some type of technology called floppy disks.
As a teenager, being shown a cassette tape for the first time was a history lesson. Even being shown a rotary phone felt like looking a piece of technology from the 1800s.
Edit: people born in the 1980s are literally old enough to be my parents.
I graduated high school the year you were born. I agree with everything you said. I feel like this was written by an older millennial still self-deluding themselves about being in the olds now.
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?
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 wouldn't worry too much about it.
The tweet is just asking: How are you and your parents? Nothing to be upset about.
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.
That's just technology. Maybe think about boomers and then consider again whether you have 'nothing in common' with people < 47
Someone who's 46 is old enough to be my dad. Actually, my dad isn't much older than that.
You still know the movies. That's the point. No need to dick around, baby πΊ
Only because I was shown the movie on Netflix or something in like... 2020.
And therefore you've got way more in common with those 46 - 50 year old then you realize bud. You're a Gen Z just like the rest of us "oldies". Don't worry, you'll understand it when you get older :).
would you prefer "late 20th century"?
Personally, yes
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.
WDYM "close to 50 years old"? The 90's were only ten years ago!
I'll lump you better.
You are a part of group born between 300,000 BCE and 2026 CE.
The 1900s are 1900-1909, like how the 1990s are between 1990-1999. No one is lumping you in with them lol
As in the century, obviously. The same way people don't literally mean 1800-1809 when they say the 1800s
Youβre almost old enough to get your own βthat time I pooped my pantsβ story
Maybe itβs the flu, or you trust a fart after extra spicy Thai. But either way, you never forget or trust your sphincter the same.
I was 17 years old only 5 years ago, too π
The age brackets get more inclusive quickly
