To me, being a Millennial to me means you remember 9/11. If you don't, then you're Gen Z.

The Oregon Trail generation might remember Challenger and the fall of the Berlin Wall and Rodney King, but not Reagan being shot.

What if I don't remember 9/11 (because my teachers and parents deliberately didn't tell me what was happening) but remember the Oregon trail?

wouldn't you remember a weird couple weeks where all adults were acting incredibly suspiciously

Yeah but it wasn't until like a week or so later they told me what happened and I was too young to really understand so it didn't really have much impact.

Just got off the landline with the Gen X Council, turns out you haven't payed tour dues in 10years, so they're going to have to revoke your card until payments have been sent.

I've never considered myself Gen X. I'm think I'm among the earliest scouts of the Oregon Trail generation. Definitely don't remember Reagan getting shot.

Fuck wrong person... God I chose my username right.

It's okay. A lot of people make that mistake when I make references to 80s music videos, but I swear I only saw them on VH1.
