>>11942645From my personal experience there is a big gap between Early Millennials (Born 1985-1995) and Latter Millennials (Born 1995-2005).
Early Millennials like me remember the world before the internet, cellphones and computers went mainstream. Things like going to the arcades, more freedom as kids to play around the neighbourhood, using old analog phones to set up a date or gathering (and having to keep that promise no matter what, no text message to cancel it at the last minute), the sense of optimism for technology and human progress people had in the 1990s, etc.
We've tasted the sweet and the sour, we've seen the world change.
In contrast Latter Millennials seem much closer to Zoomers in outlook imho. All they remember is the post-cellphone, internet world. Having dated a girl born after 1995, the late gens seem much more obsessed with social media, more jaded and cynical, less prone to nostalgia having grown up with less personal freedom to roam the streets as kids and yet less innocence as well from having the internet at their fingertips. They are more into casual relationships and more into doing stuff like ghosting. (Hasn't happened to me but I've seen it)
They also seem emotionally inequipped to handle long relationships like the one I was in with this girl. We initially hooked up because she was an emotional wreck, easily manipulated by others in our work environment and I steered her away from those emotional vampires and provided the stability she needed.
I imagine in America this difference is even greater due to 9/11 but I won't get into that since I'm not American.
