There's a definite gap in life experiences even then. I think the years up to '85, maybe including '86, are pretty accurate for Xennials from my experience. Good example, I listened to vinyl growing up like Gen X. They never really did. They were pretty much just cassette and CD. |

High school shirt. Musicfest was a campus wide student band concert/cookout festival held one full school day before the end of the school year. From 1999-2000 so obviously The Matrix was all the rage. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/102941/photo_2021-06-05_18-35-24_jpg-2960109.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/102941/photo_2021-06-05_18-35-25_jpg-2960108.JPG |

Quote HistoryLynx was absolutely jaw-dropping to see it the first time in person. A buddy from school had the first model (top), and my brother had the 2nd model (bottom). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They need to widen those years defined. Anyone born in the 80's is vastly different from someone born in the 90's. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: As an elder millennial I approve this thread. I'd prefer the Gen Y moniker, but the world doesn't seem to agree with me on that one. I feel like I had a gen x / gen Y experience. I feel very privileged that I got to live the old school and the new school growing up. The Husky Mudslinger.... man I totally forgot about that bike. Man that was a long time ago. The OG super soakers..... god they fun. We used to fart into the bottles.....lol. Such a prick move. I was on highschool when golden eye was king. Man, Doom was fun too. Remember Dark Forces? What a great PC game. This thread made my day. The only thing missing in this thread is the cool models we used to buy and paint, and maybe a vector or SR71 poster. I was a freshmen in college during 9/11. Who knew then, but that day we left the world as we knew it behind..... some things are definitely better now. Some just aren't. I always liked "Oregon Trail Generation". Yeah. It sucks we got lumped in with all the millennials. Total horseshit. Xennials. It flows better than "Oregon Trail Generation". They need to widen those years defined. Anyone born in the 80's is vastly different from someone born in the 90's. It's bullshit. Someone born on the 90s never even saw a typewriter. They wouldn't even know what a floppy disk of any size was as they were done by the early 2000s. The grouping of the entire millennial generation is fucked. I got to watch desert storm bombs going through windows on tv and the Berlin Wall fall. The guy born in 96' probably doesn't even remember 9/11...... It's just fucked..... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Had my Charizard card that I got in probably 5th grade, graded. https://i.imgur.com/ww9tjJx.jpg Nice. I got a Charizard for my birthday one year, and I know I still had it after my parents got rid of the bulk of my Pokemon cards, but it eventually went missing too. One day a couple years ago I decided to check them out on eBay, figuring they'd only be a few bucks and I could pick one up for nostalgia's sake. Boy was I wrong  .The most fucked up part is, I eventually bought a complete Base Set including Charizard for, like, $200

I’ve even bought some unopened booster packs for way too much money… |

I had collected and played the Star Trek Customizable Card Game through the mid-late '90s. I had a slightly above average deck. I picked up expansion packs when I could with money I made working. About 10 years ago, when I really hit my stride career-wise, I decided to buy every variant of every card in the collection that I never had been able to get growing up. Unfortunately, even when I started really making bank, there was one last set of cards in the entire collection I just couldn't justify spending money on. It was the "All Good Things" set. Back then it went for $500-$600 for a complete boxed set. These days:  Attached FileI'm still kicking myself for not biting the bullet and getting them back then.

I have random ass memories of watching Ross Perot doing primetime debates and thinking "holy shit, elves are real". Also teachers listening to the OJ trial on a radio during class. The 96 olympics were some huge deal. Hell, flying was still something special. My grandparents took me to Disney in 93(?). Everyone was excited that we took a 747. |

Used to love watching random science experiments first thing in the morning. And I can't remember the name of the show, bit Mike Rowe used to host a 'Cable in the Classroom' educational show that played on weekday mornings where I grew up. |
