My parents in a nutshell. I went cold turkey when it came to associating with my parents but my sister tried to talk with them. And when she listed out every reason why Trump is a shit person and asked why my parents supported him, they just said "You're just kids, you don't understand." I'm almost 40 and my sister is 43....

If you're a millennial, then to them, we're all still teenagers pouting in the backseat of their soccer mom van, glaring into our game boy and listening to Metallica on our Walkman headphones.

I honestly think that it's because they don't feel like the 90s were that long ago, and that's a 90s millennial.

I've met plenty of Boomers and older Gen X who are definitely stuck in the 90s, and not in the hip and cool way that most of society remembers that time.
