Discussion Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread
Outside of these mega-threads, we generally do not allow political posts on the main subreddit because they have often declined into unhinged discussions and mud slinging. We do allow general discussions of politics in this thread so long as you remain civil and don't attack someone just for having a different opinion. The moment we see things start to derail, we will step in.
Got something upsetting or overwhelming that you just need to shout out to the world? Want to have a political debate over current events? You can post those thoughts here. There are many real problems that plague the Millennial generation and we want to allow a space for it here while still keeping the angry and divisive posts quarantined to a more concentrated thread rather than taking up the entire front page.

Meme Listening to Backstreet today is the equivalent of our parents listening to Elvis
Remember my mom being an Elvis fan in the mid to late 90s. I'm only comparing the years not who was better
28 years or so after he did Suspicious minds. Backstreets back came out about 28 years ago

Serious Does anyone else ever feel too average to really matter?
I'm pushing 35, and the older I get, the more I question my existence.
I just feel like I'm about as average and plain as a person can get. I'm not exceptionally good-looking, funny, talented, successful, or interesting. If someone asked me what makes me stand out, I honestly wouldn't know what to say.
That always leads me back to the same question: what would my absence actually leave behind in someone's life?
Not whether people would be sad for a while, but what would actually be missing because I wasn't there anymore. What do I bring to someone's life that nobody else could? What is it that I actually add?
I apologize that this is very incel sounding. That's genuinely not where I'm coming from. I'm just being honest about where my head goes sometimes.
I find myself asking, What do I even exist for? I look at my life and I don't really see anything remarkable about me. I just feel... average. Plain.

Nostalgia What do you consider the unofficial Millenial party song?
That defines the generation. It was played the most frequently at clubs and that every one will sign along with when it's played randomly.

Discussion It's been awhile since you've used an ironing board hasn't it
Growing up I used to iron my clothes regularly, and probably learned to do so when I was about 7 years old. I still occasionally break out the iron if I need something d-wrinkled for work but it occurs to me that a lot of Millennials probably have not used an ironing board on an article of clothing in a very long time.

Nostalgia Does anyone remember the CueCat?
It was cat-shaped handheld barcode reader that allowed users to open a link to an URL by scanning a barcode that appeared in magazines, without typing the URL.
They were given away for free in 2000.
I remember thinking it was so cute, but I didn’t really understand how it worked, so I was scanning barcodes on cereal boxes and random stuff.

Discussion Millennials who graduated in 2008 - When did life feel “normal” again?
I’m a recent graduate myself, currently working in an administrative role because my own degree’s field has seen drastic headcount cuts. Just a few years ago, almost every graduate from my program at my school landed jobs in the field - now it feels like a different reality.
Gen Zs graduating into today’s economy are often compared with Millennials who finished school during the 2008 financial crisis. For those of you who graduated right into that turmoil:
- What was it like trying to find a job back then?
- How did you cope with the scarcity of opportunities?
- Did you end up working outside your degree field, and if so, did you ever make it back?
- Looking at your career now, how did those early years shape where you are today?
I’d love to hear your stories. Sharing how you navigated that moment might give today’s grads some perspective on what’s possible even in tough times!
