Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My favorite part about generations is how the cut off changes with every source I look at. Like, technically I'm a millennial, but I was born in '81 which is only sometimes part of the millennial age range and never part of the gen x age range. It's almost as if generations are entirely fabricated and not real.
I'm a 1995 kid and I think of myself as being right at the tail-end of what can reasonably be called a millenial
Yeah, my GF and I were born in 96 but both in fairly rural areas so our experience aligns more with being millennial. I think it depends a lot on the context of your personal upbringing, but I definitely agree with your sentiment.
If you were old enough to grasp how 9/11 changed the world as we know it and have clear memories from that day, you're a millennial. If you had to be taught about it then you're not.
Everyone has their own definition but that's always been the cutoff that's stuck with me.
I very clearly remember the day and am pretty right down the middle millenial but no way in hell did I understand the ultimate consequences of it.
