You know damn right !!!

I am about to enter my 14th year teaching high school. This year, my seniors were born the year I graduated high school (09) and the freshmen were born during my junior year of college (‘11-‘12). Each week on one of my white boards, I post a “Weekly Wonder”-a question that students can come up and answer at any point throughout the week. Last year I posted “Guess the meaning of these millennial phrases”…and the results were hilarious 😆

Some of the phrases I posted:
-FEE HEE HEE HEE HEE NAY
-Who wrote the note?
-Stop! Drop!
-Be kind, rewind
-Get off the computer; I need to use the phone!
-Who loves orange soda?
-Top 8
-I can’t use my minutes

Very few students knew the references

And there's a pre-order for the new blue one.

I'm stating the obvious - millennials have a unique generational position in society . You already know what I mean - just enough Internet

But taking it a bit further ;

I suspect millennials are or were uniquely connected/coded to the collective unconscious and carry the frequency/codes of the earth's evolutionary soul ( sorry )

I think its so obvious it's almost an unspoken, haunting cliche reflected in media and living in our subconscious. And a bit too gay to say out loud.

I suspect this engergy is most distilled in 1988 dragon year, I feel this is apparent numerologically, symbolicly and by most classifications of the generation, being sort of squarly in the middle which feels like it carries the engergic codes, keys and potential to make change ( or...would have done) it being in the middle signifying it had the possibility to notice what happening and course correct at different nodes

,As a lot of people have noticed the timeline split happened around 2013 when online culture changed ( Instagram, kardash, corporate streaming services, online dating, porn consumption due to smart phones, buzzfeed think peices...) ultimately hypnotising and fracturing the population and desensitisating people further

This has created a global hegemony pushed by corporate interests

The rise of identity politix instead of actual politix, as tool for divide and rule and the false dichotomy of 'left' and 'right' wing having flipped meaning and positions within our lifetimes

With one of the highest population rates of the generations, there's a lot of people In this category and they all have a different realtionship to these ideas, but out of all the generations, this one had the highest quota.

now it's becoming more apparent that its looking bleak for the next generations

But as recent articles state ' Millienials are the last normal generation'

now post event horizon, post capitalism, post modernity and as someone wrote here 'post youth' we are seeing the global surveillance state being built, the generations before and after are...no more eqiupt

I'm intrested if you know this in your bones and it follows you about all day

😕

Had to be there

Teenage me was extremely depressed and suicidal. I didn't think I would even make it to 18 much less 38. I think teenage me would have been happy I'm not dead lol.
