Hey now, this filthy millennial knew 17 of those 50 things.

For comparison, I only knew 15 of these 50:

Mine goes to eleven.

I recognized 10. That in itself is too many.

Well whattaya know – so am I!

Not that this surprises me at all, what with my loathing of everything 21st century.

There is plenty great about the 21st century, though.

I agree. I’m glad that I live today. All the conveniences of the 21st century as well as most of what was great about past decades readily available still.

lol!

I meant to post about this last night and forgot. I was doing the usual “help the parents fix the TV” thing and I accidentally flipped over to that channel and saw the opening.

It was pretty goofy-looking. It looks like they got the worst of both generations for the show, or at least the most ridiculous stereotypes from each generation.

One kid was born in 1997 and was an adult. I thought they stopped making kids in the early '90s?

If they got the worst of both generations, it would have been unfair because the Millennial team would have 10x the number of contestants.

JEDIT:

Sure enough, playing up to the stereotypes, the Gen Xers pick the scuba gear that requires more work to see the benefit, while the Millennials go for the chickens so they can just sit back and eat.

I think they just had a larger pool to pick from with the Millennials.

No doubt. There are more of them because they don’t get their hands dirty.

“Have you ever wondered what the specific differences are between your generation and somebody else’s?”

No, because I pay attention to life, so I don’t need a video to tell me.

The video isn’t about what, it’s about why.

I don’t need to watch a video to know why either.

How old are you?

Whatever, I thought it was kinda interesting. It talked a bit about Strauss-Howe generational theory, and how 9/11 started a culture war by bringing in a new Turning before the previous one was finished.
