are we not allowed to call the first decade of our lives as part of "growing up"?

Did genX ever get out of their moms basement?

Gen x is a tight knit fraternity that us millennials could only dream of
They could buy beer at 18!
They would play in the neighborhood WITHOUT PARENTAL SUPERVISION
Some of them, get this, would be left home alone! Like that movie

I said "most"
Sure, the first millenials remember the 80s, but the vast majority of millenials grew up in the 90s. But even the earliest millenials were in elementary school in 1990.

I'm a millennial and can't argue with this.

I hate to burst your bubble, access to "unlimited" internet was available to many folks long before this. I was using "umlimited" internet in the early 1990's (like 91 or 92 IIRC).
Granted it was mostly text based, but I had to correct your timeline.

Yea, people are confusing "born" and "grew up" If you are Gen X and were born in the late 60s or 70s, you spent at least high school in the 80s, if not more. Millenials were born in the 80s and mid-90s, but most were too young to remember the 80s much, except as very young children.
Yuup, the last Gen Xers graduated HS in 98.

I don't think there is a huge difference in life experience for people born from say 70 to about 88. In the context of life experience, generations could have been classified per half century until 100 years ago. Generations these days could be classifed per decade with how fast things change now. I have more in common with some born in 76 than I do someone born in 96.

Compare that to today, where we track our kids’ every movement through smartphones and worry if they’re out of sight for five minutes
People aren’t supposed to know exactly where you are at all times

I would say I was careless with my wording again, but I wasn't. I was talking to normies, but should have known someone would come with this
December 1996 marked the beginning of unlimited home access to the world wide web.
Happy now, you pedantic bastard?

A kid born in 1979 did not graduate in 1988

No, the FIRST Gen Xers graduated high school in the mid-80s (the dates of the generations are not exact)
Gen X was approximately born 1965-1980, but those dates vary depending on the source.

I’m assuming you are being sarcastic right? Because this is 100% now growing up in the 90s was for Millenials
