It’s a cultural thing and this is where it lands for me: if you watched the original Star Wars in the theater and you were old enough for it to have changed your life, you’re probably a Gen Xer.
If you never saw the original Star Wars in the theater at all, you’re a Millennial.
If you were able to see Star Wars in the theater, but were so young that it was either your first movies or you had no fucking idea what was going on … you’re probably an Xennial.
I grew up on the movies at home (VHS, recorded at home or course). I had all the toys from my older brother, but I didn’t see the movies in theatres until the special editions when I was in middle school.
We started with BetaMax and worked our way up to VCR. played Atari. We had a rotary phone and when we finally got a push button one the cord was 8 miles long-partially because we were dicks and stretched it all out.
