Yep. At this point the "group of old guys" could literally be referring to mid-40 millennials; old guys to anyone in their 20's.

The first place team also had an old woman named Barb who had been on Jeopardy.

The other top team was one man.

But we kept coming back. We kept the same five core members but tried a bunch of people for our sixth. Eventually we got a woman who was legitimately a genius. She got a law degree as a teenager, but she also knew more about 90s gangsta rap than the rest of us. She once complimented me by calling me a polymath, which I immediately undermined by asking what a polymath was.

We also studied. I was always good at music, but my wife practiced and got good. My sister didn't start with a specialty, so she took a little time every week to keep up on current events and pop culture. I studied Shakespeare. We didn't always get first, but we were always contenders.

We became friends with the quiz master. My wife and I hired him to host trivia at our first baby shower.

Accurate. I had a late-millennial team. We dominated “sex, drugs and rock’n’roll” trivia. Now the restaurant we played at has been gentrified and is gone and the guy who held the team together passed away. Getting old sucks.

I think if you look at the fact that 7 of the 12 people this has ever happened to are millennials, or were considered millennials at some point in the 5,000 times the generational definition has been changed, then I suppose yes it could vaguely be construed as a tiny slice of a particular sect of millennial culture.

Having said that, there are millennials who are grandparents, and I would bet my last buck that there are some who are great-grandparents (or soon to be) at this point. There are millennials still working on their secondary education, living with roommies, and never even been on a date, basically living a lifestyle and culture not much different than people considered Gen Z. The overwhelming majority of us have never experienced anything like the scenario in that post, so from that perspective, I'd say, no it's not something specifically tied to "millennial culture".

WarlockLawyer 5 points 6 months ago

Great grand parents who are at maximum 45 years old? So they had kids at 15 and then their kids had kids at 15 who are having kids right now? I mean yeah that could happen. Seems like an extreme outlier but I wouldn't bet against it.

idiomaddict 1 point 6 months ago

My sister had a classmate whose mother and grandmother each got pregnant at 15. Starting when this girl was 15 and for the rest of high school, they basically never let her be alone with anyone.

She did go a little wild in college, but she was well aware she didn’t want to get pregnant until she was settled.

Edit: this was not intended as a counterpoint to the likeliness of this, both because teen pregnancy has also gone down a bunch since this family got started, and because “an internet commenter’s sister’s classmate” is legitimately more ridiculous than the example relationship I give to discredit urban legends.

What kind of math is that? They'd be grandparents at 30 if they and their kids had kids at 15...

It's possible for both to have had kids at 19 and the grandparent still would be a millenial.

You said great grand parents. So parents at 15. Grandparents at 30. Great grand parents at 45. Which is possible but seems like an outlier and not representative of average millennial when discussing millennial experiences or tropes.

I think if that were true, they'd be less succeptible to Nazi propaganda and wouldn't have voted for the MAGA ticket in droves. They also would've taught their kids not to support what their grandparents literally fought and died against in the war...

Unless you mean civil war history with a particular slant. Certain boomers definitely "studied" that history.
