Read previewLast year, The Washington Post published a piece about Gen Z reviving the millennial "going out top."
This is for those of us born in the late 1990s on the cusp of both the millennial and Gen Z markers.
While I do have some firsthand memories, unlike Gen Z, the bulk of millennials were older kids or teens and thus more capable of processing what happened.
I feel nostalgic for things I wasn't part ofFrom boy bands to platform flip-flops, I often feel nostalgic for a millennial culture I didn't fully experience.
Turning 30 feels a bit like the "last call" on the millennial generation's being considered young; I write with some melancholy.
