I associate myself much more with Gen X than I ever will with Gen Y. To even suggest that my 13 year-old brother, who knows nothing of life before Columbine, 9/11, and the Internet, is having a similar childhood to the one I had is absurd.

east village idiot: Gen Y can bite me

Point taken, but wouldn’t your 13 year old brother be considered a Millenial?

TRUTH! Aren’t GEN Yers that lost generation born in 1977-1980. They went to college before facebook and had their first jobs during 9/11. Like, the ‘REAL WORLD’ was the only reality TV show. So they had no real cultural events to shape them? They’re like the polio kids who never got to go outside because, you know (THE POLIO).

Natasha nails my born-in-78 ass out perfect. But I was a precocious little thing. I watched MTV when I was three. I remember Reagan getting shot. I was 8 when the Shuttle exploded with the lady teacher. The Real World made me want to go to my first pro-choice march after they all drive down to Washington for the big one in 93. I was the first kid in my town with an email address, in 1994. I was a trendy and then an honest bisexual. I wrote a really embarrassing Diary entry about the day Yahoo went public and Jerry Garcia died (same week). And by virtue of my early birthday, I got to vote for Clinton (once). We didn’t have Facebook or YouTube, but in college, we had AIM and Napster. And blogging! We basically invented blogging! And good for us, seeing as we can’t handle outside contact much.
