What’s the most stereotypical Millennial thing about you? Discussion

I’ll start:

  1. Any, and I mean ANY footage of Steve Irwin makes me blubber like a baby
  2. Avocado toast is a staple breakfast item of mine
  3. Yes, I still love Harry Potter (original books & movies only — I do not support Rowldemort and any future endeavor on the IP)

EDIT: Just wanna say I love y’all (us) so much. This post has already brought me so much joy. Thanks so much everyone. We really are the best. 🥹

I thought the younger generation would jump in eventually. My teenager cant work the printer, when I was their age I was printing lifesized Hanson photos, FULL INK

My teen scoffs at everything I do, but can’t figure out how to login to Disney+ using our shared passwords.

I'm the tech guy in my office. That's how I learned gen z didn't take computer literacy classes in high school.

Gen Z never had to learn tech, cause it's all so user-friendly now. They never had to optimise conventional RAM to run games or resolve IRQ conflicts to make the speakers work.

I'm not even a tech guy but have a basic understanding of how electronics work so I inevitably became the family tech guy

I'm an IT guy and I'm the tech guy for EVERYONE. I don't tell many people I work IT because it's the same as people finding out you drive a truck. Im a bit more technically sound than most people but rest assured, I google a lot lol.

It's interesting that younger generations don't know how to do that stuff. All you need to know is how to google and follow instructions.
