1. You Don't Remember Life Before Technology
You were born into a life of technological bliss, and we are the last generation that will remember what it was like before everyone was constantly "connected." This is the biggest void between us, and the one that scares us the most. While we can relate to the technological landscape of those born before us in the '70s, we'll never relate to yours.
2. You're So Young, But You Also Look Fully Grown
How can it be that you're a full decade or more younger than us BUT YOU LOOK LIKE A FULL-GROWN HUMAN? Being born in the '90s makes you YOUNG, so you should look young — not of a similar age to us, or even of a legal drinking age. Get back into perpetual pockmarked, retainer-wearing teen-hood where you belong!
3. You Make Us Feel Old
When we make cultural references you don't understand, that makes us feel old. When we can start measuring our lives in decades and you're still in the "three era" period of your life ("childhood / high school / college"), that makes us feel old. The fact that you're getting older just reminds us that we're getting much older. Basically, you remind us of how uncool we are when we talk about Xtina and you stare at us blankly. And you remind us of our mortality. Which no one likes.
4. We Were Doing Seances For Kurt Cobain While You Were Still Soiling Diapers
5. You Totally Missed The '90s, And We Define Ourselves By It
The '90s were an important era to us, culturally. We love dropping references to and talking nostalgically about that time. Sure, you technically were there, but you don't get it. You never will. And that's weird to us.
6. 2000s Babies Aren't Quite Old Enough To Freak YOU Out Yet
You terrify us, but there's no one to terrify you yet. Millennium babies still look like teenagers, which feels safe and normal. You've got at least another five years until they start being full-grown adults and freaking YOU out the way you freak us out.
7. You're So Cool
Why are you so cool? What's wrong with you? Where is your awkward boho stage? It's like skipping over the early '00s due to infancy left you with nothing but a horizon of cool ahead of you. So while we were rocking hipster flares and pink hair mascara (things that weren't even cool when they were cool), you guys are more "Kylie lip kit" and ombre hair.
