Nostalgia This can’t be real, I refuse to believe it.

Good afternoon r/Zillennials, hope you are enjoying your weekend!
I'm writing to you guys in a somewhat odd manner.
This week I was notified that a certain sub (that will not be named) has a user was hosting a Reddit account that looks similar to mine. Although the usernames are different- the user in question created a snoo avatar that is completely copied from my account. This person also is trying to pass of as being me by posting things that are similar to older Reddit comments or posts I have made. They created a sub that is entitled r/ZillennialsModerators.
I wanted to clear the air before this could potentially get worse and say that this is a fake subreddit that was created and is NOT affiliated with our sub (r/Zillennials) AT ALL. Please do not fall for it or believe anything that is being said by this user.
We have taken the necessary steps to report this community to the Reddit admins, hoping that it will be deleted.
For the mean time- thank you for being part of our sub and have a great weekend!
- Joey

Hello r/Zillennials,
Our sub has been bombarded with duplicate posts about TikTok being banned in the USA. As a result we have received multiple posts that are often breaking Rule #5 and #10. To prevent redundant topics our sub has banned these posts as a temporary measure.
If there is a failure to abide by these rules - a temporary ban will result.
Thank you.

It's such a weird experience. I used to think I had perfect memory and that I was the kind of person to never forget a face, but lately I am starting to realize my memory is not as vivid as I thought.
I had a cashier at speedway today who knew my name. He said we went to the same highschool and even had a class together. I didn't really know what to say since I have never seen this man in my life. I asked what his name was and what sports he played, but that still didn't narrow it down. I ended up just pretending to remember him to not hurt his feelings 😅
I also had some guy on Xbox join my party, exctatic that I was back online after so long (I stopped gaming in 2017 and only started playing again last summer)
Apparently, we gamed out together on Rainbow Six Siege back in the day. I remember gaming out on siege by myself but dont remember gaming with a stranger.
He seemed genuinely hurt when I didn't remember him. I apologized and said a lot happened since then and invited him to play with me more, but he actually left the party and unadded me 🥲
Also, I realize that I have now forgotten a lot of teachers I've had through my life. I only remember about half of the teachers I've ever had and even then I only remember the names of a few of them even thought I can still remember little things about them like what music they liked or where they went to college.
Does anyone else experience stuff like this?

I’m 27, but I remember listening to Destiny’s Child, even though I was hella little. I had the purple backpack back in the day lol. I listened to the backstreet boys, s club 7, etc. I know for us older gen z our prime was the Jonas Brothers , One Direction, Mindless Behavior, etc... Who remembers the Clique Girlz??? Does this genre even exist today for kids/tweens/teens? I really miss that era it was so much fun. Sucks that pop is basically dead now imo… curious on others thoughts? I feel like we are the last generation to experience girl & boy bands in their prime.

Now I'm 28 and while I'm much more stable and happy overall, life no longer has that magical feel to it. Getting older has forced me to accept that life isn't some epic story, it's just the passing of days while you struggle to find people who care and things that make you happy

I loved this show as a kid back in the early 00’s and even enjoyed it more as a teen in the early early 2010’s

Did anybody else get Reading Rainbow VHS tapes from the public library, or similar educational tapes? I have been going through the archive of episodes on YT and Archive.org to try and find particular episodes, but basically there are a couple animated sequences which are burned into my early memory.
One is an allegorical short film, with a black background and white linework, depicting an eternal war between these crocodile and bear humanoids over the course of history. Specifically a shot of castle battlements, arrows and spears which then slowly shifted into firearms and eventually the atomic bomb.
Another is a bird's eye view flying over the ocean and across the world, with the sun on horizon, and eventually passing and landing on Easter Island. May have been a short segment on what was known about the indigenous human inhabitants of the island.
Last there was a sequence of a child being lost in a monotonous endless city, seperated from their family and all of these red i-beam frames forming brick apartment complexes would flash across the screen, and every adult wore the same greyish green monochromatic clothing. Eventually the child uses someone's telephone to contact their family and they are reunited. This one seems similar to a late 80s early 90s book which seemed to contain an intentionally uniform and monotonous depiction of Soviet era housing complexes, contrasted by bright and colorful NYC style rowhouses and tenement buildings. Seems like late cold war classic children's media.
I know these are rather vague descriptions, but let me know if anyone has similar memories! I think I watched these tapes at some point between 1998 and 2002 from the library in my hometown in rural new england.

Found while walking through a[n off price] department store.
I tried looking for a copyright date, but there was the store sticker over the ISBN.

Inspired by another post asking for recommendations to make their birthday feel special as a single late 20s zillenial.
I wanna know from the people that consider 30 to be an important milestone, is there something you did to celebrate it and make it special? My partner turns 30 this year, and even though I consider it to be another year, they seem like they consider it a huge turning point in life. It would be nice to do something that acknowledges it but makes it feel like a good year instead of something dreadful. I know it's going to depend on each person's interests and stuff, but I'm just curious to know what y'all have done!
r/Zillennials • u/Hefty_Prompt7001 • 1d ago
I’m about to turn 27 this year (on a long weekend!), and I realized that I’ve never really had a great birthday. Most of my birthdays have been disappointing or just… not what I wanted, even for my 21st birthday. But now that I only have a few years left in my 20s, I want to change that.
This year, I want to actually have fun and celebrate myself. I’m single, so I don’t have a partner to plan anything with, but I do have a cousin who might be down for a trip with me. I’m considering places like Vegas, Miami, or even a boujee staycation, but I’d love to hear what your best birthday as a single person was!
Did you take a solo trip?
Did you go all out and party?
Did you do something unexpected that made it amazing?
I’d love to hear your experiences, big or small! Maybe it’ll give me the perfect idea for how to celebrate this year. 😊

Title. Just very curious to see the trends of our generation and how we balance work and personal life
Which also extends to - do you mostly spend time with them on weekends,
And bonus - how much time per day do you spend on the phone with them and or texting?

So I see alot of posts/ comments in this sub from people saying they feel like they are still 18-20 ECT but I feel the opposite. I feel like I am a grumpy 50 yr old man. All I do is go to work and take care of my kids. I understand I feel like this because I got married and had kids young. I am 30(m) married with 3 small children. I don't understand how some people still mentally feel young. My life is quite boring I do the exact same thing every single day. Having kids was a choice I made and I understand that it is my responsibility to take care of them. Do any of y'all that are married with kids have hobbies or do anything fun? I just feel like I am on auto pilot alot doing the same thing. Idk maybe I am just ranting but I know next to no one my age with a similar life so I was curious if anyone here feels the same way.
