#xennial — Public Fediverse posts

As I hover around 50 yrs old I can only assume these body feelings are natures way of telling me to do something. What is it saying?

#aging #genx #xennial #old #men #health #humor

Wenn man zwischen 1976–1985 geboren ist, dann ist man nun also ein #Xennial und passt wohl in keine traditionelle Generationskategorien. – Was unterschlägt, dass dies eh wieder nur kulturelle Stempel sind. https://youtu.be/kHJreP8HakE

I've mentioned just how blank stare/non-interactive this last group of college students was. Here is more for that fire.

Is Matrix the new IRC?

Is it a generational shift going on?

Am I getting too old for this shit?

(My take is no - yes - no.)

Please discuss.

@b I recognize them all (can hear them and their contexts in my head).

I'm 49.

@ilovecomputers Yup. Mine too. The fediverse gives some hope that we might get some of that old vibe back.... But it won't ever be the same.

Geez, I sound old. 🫤

I remember this. In my memory of disasters during my childhood, it keeps company with the Challenger disaster and Chernobyl.

This reminds me of how Elfwood of the late '90s was hands-down the best social media network that had ever existed until the fediverse came along.

RIP, Late-'90s-Elfwood. You really were the best.

Found a YouTube channel that has archived a ton of old MTV.

I’ve been putting on a random MTV Dreamtime from the 90s while I get ready for bed for the past week.

Normally nostalgia turns me off but I’ve been enjoying this quite a bit.

I just thought about something that is probably peak #Xennial: I wrote letters, by hand, to people that I met in online chats. 😄

There's a lot of me in this video. #Xennial. Those in the middle. Those who know how to deal with the old and the new world. Who adapted (and still adapts) overnight.

I know the video is either narrated or generated using AI, but I don't care. The text is good.

https://youtu.be/oCbxtjStZ6E

This video has been making the rounds lately and being right in the middle of this, it resonates quite a lot.

Ik ben een #xennial, heb ik vandaag geleerd. Net overal tussenin, van analoog naar digitaal, van de draaischijftelefoon naar de iPhone.

Ben jij ook van 1976-1985?

https://youtu.be/Pqs0PokPDqo

@dfx I had heard about Xennials a few months ago via Wikipedia. It was eye-opening to learn that there is actually this micro generation and the video resonated with me a lot. Except for "entering the job market in 2008". I had already finished uni a bit earlier.

I wish the author of this video had taken the time to fix the mangled AI-generated text in his images though :-)

But thanks a lot for sharing this!

As a guy born in 1982, I feel the urge to share this video with you guys.

Changing out of my "Staying-Indoors" jogging pants and into my pair of "Running errands and might run into someone I know" jogging pants.

Edit: No actual jogging was done while wearing either pair of pants.

Synchronized 80s kid moment...

Me (picking up a butter knife): I got the knife.
Husband and I in sync: I-I-I-I-I want da knife!
10 year old: What the heck?

Son: It's 90s day for homecoming week at school tomorrow. What should I wear?

Me and wife: THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHINE!!

UPDATE: Pulled all the Coursera's videos (from the course I was taking) by opening the embedded frame in a new browser window and using Chrome's Inspector.

I'm no Pir8, but I know a little bit. Grew up in the jUAREZ era of BBSs downloading 45-50 disks of DOOM! (or whatever it was at the time)

The podcast I co-present with comedian Esyllt Sears has been nominated in the Best Comedy category at the Independent Podcast Awards.

The #Xennial Dome is on a break ahead of a rebrand/relaunch in October, but there's 2 Best Ofs on the feed right now, if you fancy checking it out.

It's a history pod covering the mid-70s to the present day. You'll be surprised how much Richard Branson crops up.

Just launched my account on tenforward.social, so it's time for an #introduction!

I'm a writer and artist and I like to combine those in the form of comics. I had a modestly successful webcomic back in the day and bringing it back is my full-time job at the moment. You can see my art stuff at @[email protected]!

I also sometimes make videos, video games, podcasts and I occasionally even do improv. You can see all my various stuff at https://nickthewright.com

My core fandom is #StarTrek and I volunteer for #TrekTrack at #DragonCon. I've been into #anime almost as long as I've been into Trek, and I grew up with Ranma 1/2, Kimagure Orange Road, and Dirty Pair (currently I'm really enjoying Frieren). I also like Star Wars and other generally geeky stuff.

I'm an #Xennial. I support #trans and #queer rights, I'm #leftist af, #antifascist and #anticapitalist. I'm #vegan, #bicyclist, #urbanist and #atheist.

If none of that scares you, hi!

"Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts. Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983 [... They] are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood."

That's such a good description — but I did have a computer in 1984...

Just read that #ICQ will shut down June 26.

*Uh Oh!* #iykyk

Last time I've used it must have been around 2006 but it's one of the oldest logins I remember from the top of my head since 1997 when it was still owned by its founder #Mirabilis

I was surprised I could still log in (95616553).

Immediate nostalgia flash seeing nicknames I have not read for decades!

Slightly concerning primary school memories from the 80s.

* Our school had an incinerator. Like, they just burnt rubbish while children were learning stuff.

* In grade 7 our teacher brought in mercury so we could play with it. We would push it around our desktops with our fingers. "Learning"!

* The same teacher taught us how to use BIC lighters and light matches. For survival, I guess.

* In the playground were 5 metre tall climbing poles with tyres bolted to them. There was no soft material on the ground.

I'm far too fascinated with far too many topics. I've compiled an exhaustive list of hashtags for some of those interests; I'll try to do better about keeping it current and updated.

New #Introduction post! I'm the admin of retro.pizza and I primarily post about #FosterKittens and #CatsOfMastodon, #Transformers, #XMen and #Marvel #comics in general, #RetroGaming and specifically #NintendoSwitch and #GameBoy and #AnaloguePocket, #RetroCartoons and #RetroTech and #MediaPreservation. I'm a gender-nonconforming/ #Nonbinary (they/her) #lesbian #Xennial with #ADHD and #UlcerativeColitis. I'm also a podcast cohost on @IaconUnderground.

My favorite things are pizza and naps.

I'm a Xennial. It is the ‘modern’ label for those of us who were born in the overlapping years of GenX and GenY (GenY is called Millennial today).

Those born between these years are Xennials:
* 1977–1985 according to Business Insider
* 1977‒1983 according to The Guardian
* 1977‒1982 according to Slate

The years of each generations:
* ???‒??? - The Ancients
* Anything between “The Ancients” and 1945 have different names, and is usually based on different Western countries.
* 1946‒1964 - Baby #Boomers
* 1965‒1985 - #GenX
* 1977‒1985 - #Xennial
* 1981‒1996 - #GenY a.k.a. #Millennial (or #GenM in South Korea)
* 1997‒2012 - #GenZ
* 2013‒2025(?) - #GenAlpha

There is also what is called #GenMZ. It is a combination of Millennials and GenZ, that is 1981‒2012. “GenMZ” is more commonly used in South Korea than anywhere else.

#introduction thread (boosts appreciated!)

I'm a kinky cis femme who is old enough to be considered an "Elder Millenial" (aka #xennial). She/her pronouns are preferred, but they/them and other neutral pronouns are also fine for referring to me.

I'm in a long term #monogamish relationship with the #kinky and handsome snack of a #DaddyDom, @Secondfloor.

In 2021, #Secondfloor and I bought some very neglected farmland and moved from Houston to Western CO to start a #homestead. Our first year in CO was pretty rough & we were basically glamping in an empty workshop with no water source, no plumbing, etc. We dug a well, built a bunch of stuff, and then ended up buying our neighbor's land + home which doubled the size of our farm but gave us better infrastructure thus freeing up time for me to start #smutposting again. 🥰

Let's see if I can manage to squeeze my life into an #introduction thread (boosts appreciated!)
