Millenials were born 81 to 96, and Tamagotchi was still somewhat popular in the 2000s, so it still works IMO
Although it's not unique to millenials
Yeah, i’m an elder millennial and i was just a little too old for tamagotchis. They weren’t really for gen-x unless that person was immature.
Right, at the time of tamagotchi, us mature gen-Xers had PalmPilots. They had spreadsheets and calendars on top of needy pet apps. So mature…
A full grown adult carrying around a pretend pet was considered immature where i lived so i’m not sure what your point is. The thing came out globally in 97 making all gen-x at the time late 17 or 18+.
Gen x was mostly older. It's a millennial thing.
Gen who?
