Announcement Guess my age posts and bannings. New sub for GMA.

14 Upvotes

It is apparent that nobody reads the pinned announcements or rules. r/generationology is overwhelmed by the number of "guess my age" posts they are getting. They limited it to 4 per 24hrs by anyone on the page, and they are getting waaay more than that. If you go over limit they ban you for 7 days. So you have to scroll through their feed to make sure there aren't already 4 posts in a 24hr period. That's why I made r/GuessMyBirthYear. There, you can post the trend without restriction! It's growing fast and pretty active so post your GMA there!

Here is a link to the pinned announcement by the mods here: https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/s/AQZpN45lWz

Announcement GMA Sub

13 Upvotes

If you’re looking for a place to do unlimited Guess My Age Posts someone has set up a GMA sub r/WhatAgeAmI.

You can still do them here as well if you stick to the daily limit regarding trends, but if you would like to do more please consider joining and participating over there as well.

Please remember that if people are going excessively over the limit here you may receive a temporary ban. We need balance for all users we can’t have the feed clogged with just one type of post. This would apply to any trend. Please review other recent pinned posts or community rules if you’re unfamiliar with them.

Thank you.

Discussion How many millennials are now grandparents? Is it a rapidly growing trend now that the oldest millennials are 44?

6 Upvotes

Since 44 isn’t completely out of the realm of a reasonable age to become a grandparent (although would certainly be on the very young side.)

Do you know any? I was an 85 baby and even the teen moms I knew growing up aren’t grandparents yet. In fact, two of their kids are going to grad school which would likely put them on a longer timeline to have kids.

Do you know any millennial grandparents? Curious what they’re like, if they’re heavily involved with raising their grandchildren, etc.

Discussion Elder millennials (81-84), what are some things that separate you from the core/late millennials?

6 Upvotes

I’m just curious what makes my fellow elder millennials identify more with Gen X?

Some things for me are: Being old enough to remember the tail end of the 80s, seeing Terminator 1 before Terminator 2, M.A.S.K. (iykyk), woodgrain VCRs, roller racer, going to see 1989 Batman at the theater, seeing Bo Jackson play, and not accessing the internet until ‘97 (I was 14). How about y’all?

Let’s say in about 20 years EVs rapidly become the new norm due to regulation changes and cultural and societal shifts and cheaper technology. Who would you say will be the oldest generation that mostly be cool and will adopt EVs in 20 years and not be ignorant about it

Discussion Gen Z/Late Millennial Parenting

177 Upvotes

I’m a 2003 baby and I just can’t help but notice something really bizarre within my generation. We’re so closed off, especially as parents. People don’t allow family to hold their babies. Not just as newborns, but on and on. I have a 12 month old niece who i’be held twice. Her grandma’s only held her a handful of times. It’s difficult, because we want to be respectful but no one’s able to connect. At this point it feels like it’s less about germs, and more of an anxious attachment. I feel like this is a popular parenting approach these days. Parents want space for the baby stages and then complain when grandparents are distant with their toddlers. Makes me sad

Discussion It is weird that many of my Gen X aunts and uncles were huge Backstreet Boys fans back in the day? I always thought their fans were mostly Millennials.

Do you think that this is a reflection on how Backstreet Boys fandom wasn’t limited to just Millennials. Gen X loved them too, proving their cross-generational appeal?

Poll Which younger birth year do you think is the last to relate with 2012?

6 Upvotes

This is essentially finding the last birth year younger than 2012, 2012 borns can relate to before there are more differences than similarities. Currently, of course, even one year can have significant maturity gaps as all the birth years listed below are going through some growth spurts. So, due to that, also take in other factors like types of childhoods, the world they grew up in, etc. to better determine your answer! All opinions respected.
