Millennials have announced that they intend to destroy the concept of belonging to a particular generation.
The Millennial generation, which has so far destroyed such beloved things as VHS cassettes, affording property and groping woman in a bit of fun, has set its sights on the very idea that anyone can be defined by the year of their birth.
"We're all familiar with the notion," said Rainbow Snowflake, a Millennial. "Births tend to cluster around a date that will be considered culturally significant around twenty or so years later. But it turns out, when you dig into the data, some people are actually born during years that will not come to be particularly significant."
Proposed terms for these individuals have been "Generation Ghost", "War-nones", or "Econo-borings", but Snowflake suggests the term "Just People".
"Take those who grew up in the 80s," she said. She? He? They? Whatever. "Some people remember games taking half an hour to load on the Commodore 64. Others remember listening to Sade. Still others remember making a filofax in CDT. Do they still have CDT? It was basically woodwork with airs and graces. Anyway, it wasn't just Reagan, He-Man, that one Smiths song and speech impediments like Stranger Things would have you believe."
However, when challenged that all those things kinda sound like the same Generation X rubbish, Snowflake responded, "yeah, well, a Boomer like you would say that."
