What's the criteria to be a millennial? Read Guardian, live in London but can't afford to buy anywhere, eat avocado? Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years. So, at 22 and 25, both my daughters are millennials EDIT: Apparently I'm a Baby Boomer and we've never had it so good. |

It's fortunate we've reached the end of the 'Generation' alphabet with Generation-Z now when it's unlikely there'll be another generation to worry about what to call themselves.
I suppose 'Generation-fighting genetically mutated rats for murky water amidst the ruins of civilisation' is sort of catchy?

Top 5 responses to today's box:
1) We're older on average than one might suspect, I suspect.
2) Moaning about the lack of respect / intelligence / worldliness the young people show is as old as the hills. See Socky's quote from earlier, and then stop moaning. It sucks being young, it sucks being middle-aged, and I'm guessing it's going to suck being old. Stop thinking you're special or any different from the billions of boring gits who've been before. I know I'm not.
3) ST:TNG came out in about 1992; this makes it a show Gen X watched, not Millennials or Gen Y.
4) Gen Y doesn't really exist. Anyone born before late60s-ish - 1980ish gets to be Gen X. You don't get to be a Millennial unless you were born after 1990ish. Born in the in-between years? Suck it. You don't belong.
5) What species of fungus are they meant to be? If you're going to spend hours painting giant fake fungi, you should at least make them accurate.
Sorry I'm an arsehole.
