Being born in 1984 I've felt for the last couple years as though I didn't quite fit into Generation X or Generation Millennial. Events that shaped Generation X's lives were before my time. But yet the Millennial's narrative does not fit my life either and I think it's for 1 big reason. I can remember a childhood and life before the internet. Which I think is a pretty big deal in respects to how I was raised and how kids the last 15-20 years were raised. So I did some research and apparently I'm not alone in my thinking. Generation Oregon Trail is the in-betweeners. Which is funny cuz I definitely remember dying of dysentery lol. Anybody else feel as though they are an inbetweeners? Ok whatever fuck y'all.

I'm telling you… the gap is widening. I got a new helper born in 1996. 12 years after me. Yet him and I are both considered millennials. And everything about us could not be more different. From time management to tastes in music. I had to go to a library to figure shit out for school. He looked shit up on his computer at home. I was 12 years old when dial up 56k came out. I had 12 years of creeks, dinner bells and bikes. That's a pretty big, defining attribute for the differences in a generation.

I have used a pay phone, had a pager, and finally a cell. There is definitely a difference.
