I'm sure this is a hackneyed post but Id like to give an eyyyoo out to other millennials out there on the boards. Of course, all friends are welcome. But if you know what zoombinis or neopets is, we're on a different level. HMU!
Other millennials?

a thousand words in one sigh
Well, I was born in 1996. I could be either Millennial or Gen-Z depending on who you ask. I remember some of the late 90s (Barney, Arthur, Teletubbies, etc.), but more of the 2000s. I guess I have more in common with Gen Z that way? But that was what I grew up with— heelies, Silly Bandz, Disney Channel, SpongeBob, Madeline, Harry Potter, Ugg Boots, skinny jeans, chunky highlights, etc.
I used to HATE the flat, straight hair trend. My hair is very thick and wavy, but I sometimes straightened it. It never felt right to me. People would also ask why I didn’t wear makeup (this was middle school, mind you) so I started doing that too. I also got my brows waxed (very painful!). My nails were also considered too long.
At some point, I stopped caring and kept my natural brows and nails. It’s funny because a few years ago, thick brows and long nails became the trend….
Not as many good animated movies as there used to be. I remember seeing Finding Nemo in the theater and being blown away! It’s my favorite Pixar movie.
Also, the big chunky TVs in school…the ones on wheels! YES! I also loved those flat scooter things in gym class and OF COURSE the parachute.
Old-school PowerPoints with the clip art and transitions were fun. I used to make random ones at home just for fun lol.
I miss shows like Oprah and Ellen, even Wendy Williams. They were more informative than whatever is on now.
I also feel like there were more rom-coms and general comedies. Whatever. Maybe one day, we’ll remember we need to laugh.
