Billah, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but depending on which source or definition you trust and/or believe, you're a Millennial. Gen-X is understood to be comprised of those of us borned from 1961 or 1962 through 1979-1980. I've seen it stretched to 1982, but not usually. Conventional wisdom has teh Millennial Gen starting in 1980. Sorry pal! Generationally, I don't see that. If you ask me, the defining moments for the Millenial generation were the election of George W. Bush and the September 11th attacks. I was an adult when those things happened, so I don't share a world view with someone who was shaped by these events as a child. adult. lololol. you make me laff.

Your parents were politically active. Our generation is politically cynical. The next generation is politically detached. Billah, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but depending on which source or definition you trust and/or believe, you're a Millennial. Gen-X is understood to be comprised of those of us borned from 1961 or 1962 through 1979-1980. I've seen it stretched to 1982, but not usually. Conventional wisdom has teh Millennial Gen starting in 1980. Sorry pal! Uh, actually the proper break line is 1981 or 82. The relevant inquiry is whether you were still in high school or younger in the year 2000. What's really interesting is that I had way moar in common with a person born 10 years before me, in '67, than I had with a person born 10 years later than me, in '87. But now, kids born 10 years apart are going to experience just a totally fucking different world. Common culture is dead. I grew up with 4 to 4.5 TV channels depending on how well the rabbit ears were working. Even when we got cable, it had fewer than 30 fucking channels. But even with so few channels, reruns were a big part of TV. So I know stupid shit liek Mash, Carol Burnett Show, Bewitched, I Dream of Genie, Brady Bunch, Happy Days, etc. that were before mah time, plus all of the '80's and '90's classic TV. But now there is just so much shit out there that kids have very little common culture and kids born even 5 years apart will have no fucking idea what the other ones are talking about in regards of cultural references other than for maybe really famous music acts.

No, it doesn't brah. Let me 'splain the term "Des Moines 8" to you. A Des Moines 8 is a chick who, if you put her in Chicago would be a fucking 6 on a good day, but because she is in Neck Moines, she thinks she's an 8. Same with an Omaha 8. What is happening in Neck Moines is that a certain educational institution that prides itself on "having the most Iowa high school graduates of any school in the world" is churning out record numbers of semi-literate douchebags and fat, or soon to be fat, women. They descend on its hallowed halls from places liek Creston, Decorah, Storm Lake, Boone and Story City. Then, they graduate and move to Neck Moines to do back office work at places liek Wells Fargo or Principal Financial Group, making sure that mortgage checks hit on time and overpriced variable life policies of semi-competent senior citizens are paid in full before insurance is underwritten. To them, Neck Moines is the big city. Iowa City has a lot of hot girls. A significant number of them wind up moving to Chicago and becoming bar wenches or waitresses. The hottest of them attach themselves to some d-bag with upper middle class money (i.e., not rich, but not brokedick) from the western suburbs and they wind up living in some shitbox in Logan Square for a few years and then move to Scumburg, Naperthrille or the DeeG by the time they turn 25. Holy shit I graduated from high school with a girl that did exactly that.

Boiled down: If you fapped to scrambled pr0n on the UHF or VHF TV stations, you are a Gen-X or older. If you never did that and don't even know what it means, ur a fucking millennial dooshtard. How's that sound? Much better line than MTV. Never mind on that.

I think you would need to alter the test such that if you fapped to scrambled pr0n or the lingerie section of the Sears catalog, you are Gen X.

Oh, Jesus, fuck, I just made the mistake of reading that "article." Nice move by the propaganda machine in Portland. "Hey, let's tell everyone Neck Moines is awesome and hope all these fucksticks move away."
Anyway, this is just fucking money:
"What if I told you we have per capita the same amount of cultural amenities here that you do in New York?" he told a New York-based journalist for the National Journal last fall. "Get over your, 'How do we even pronounce Des Moines?' and 'Where is it?' and 'Why should I even care about it?' Get over it, and come out here and visit."
Neck Moines has such a fucking hard on for "per capita" it ain't even funny. See, e.g., Thunder's poast above ("ZOMG, there is one bar where there were hot girls!!!!!"). What in the shit does per capita cultural amenities even fucking mean? A bunch of Bosnian restaurants and the Botanical Center?

They're detached from politics, because politics is just a boring TV show, and they have Netflix.

Obama comes full circle at Des Moines, with Bruce Springsteen: 'I get to fly around with him on the last day that I will ever campaign'
Des Moines during the Caucuses.....
Three candidates, meanwhile, have planned big celebrations. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will hold a bash at the Val Air ballroom (which you might remember as the site of Howard Dean's unfortunate 2004 primal scream) in West Des Moines, with his buddy, martial arts star Chuck Norris. The campaign is trying to book a band with which Huckabee, a bass player, could jam. Hillary Clinton and husband, Bill, will host a party across town featuring the band Big Head Todd and the Monsters. And former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is throwing a fete for supporters and volunteers with three local bands at the Des Moines Quality Inn, where he'll offer a countdown toast.
But the real party will be downtown, where hundreds of national media have snapped up reservations at Des Moines' best restaurants. Want to dine at Lucca, an East Village hotspot, or swanky 801 Steak House? You'll have to elbow out New York Times and New Yorker reporters, along with the guests of two TV networks that have arranged for private seating. For the hundreds of less moneyed reporters in town for the holiday, Carrie Giddins, the spokeswoman for the Iowa Democratic Party, and Mary Tiffany, her GOP counterpart, have joined forces to throw "Raucous Before the Caucus," a big bash with a jazz band at the Temple for the Performing Arts downtown — the $25 entrance fee gets journos a taste of Iowa, including State Fair favorites like fried Twinkies and corn dogs.
Iowans are reveling in the influx of thousands of media, staffers, volunteers and others, who are planning to usher in 2008 in Iowa. "We expect a lot more activity this year," said Des Moines Mayor T. M. Franklin Cownie, a Democrat who has endorsed Obama. "All the restaurants in the downtown area are hopping. It's going to be exciting for us."
Centro is a very good restaurant, George Fomaro owns it and the Zombie Burger, Djanjos and a few other restaurants. During the caucus the joint is filled with reporters, TV personalities, and technicians. And as Thunder knows it is filled wityh luscious Babes.....
You looking for Hip, dig those Corn Dogs and Fried Twinkies.....

O'Keefe, Des Moines has stepped up its game since the days of Clive After Five. If you are a hot chick, you can make some good coin in Des Moines as a bar skank. That wasn't the case when I moved back in 2000. Thunder is correct. You've just been gone too long. Not to mention that when you come back, you fucking hang at a trailer park IN TOWN.

They may be detached from politics, but politics sure as shit ain't detached from them. These fuckin boomers are gonna milk the millennials for all they're worth, and then some. Just going to abuse the fuck outta them, and the detached millennials will bitch on twitter and watch stupid shit liek "Girls" but not bother to use their latent political clout. Stupid fucks. Like it will make a fucking difference. 40 years ago, boomers were raising hell politically all over the place, and we still shit all over Vietnam, blacks can still be be shot in the fucking street, and women still make a fraction of what men make. All of that political activism adds up to very little. The powers that be will still be the powers. I don't think millennials are just detached from the political process, they're detached from most institutions as well, and that will have benefits and pitfalls. On one hand, they let ghey people be, on the other hand, they don't understand why you should have to pay for music.
