Being in 20s myself, I mostly only use terminal for everything? Why? It's efficient and faster. And of course, I don't use streaming or subscribing services. Not sure why people think only millennial do this. I personally think people just fall for marketing and tech hype too easily.

> Being in 20s myself

Uhh... Sorry to break it to you, but... I... I think that makes you a millennial.

>Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with 1981 to 1996 a widely accepted defining range for the generation.

Seems so. The original post saying "anyone in their 20s" confused me. I'm not really familiar with all this generation and millennial talk. But it does annoy me when people shoehorn generations into certain behavioral patterns stripping out their individuality.

"Millenials" is a somewhat vague term. It's been used for everything from the XY-generation from the late 70's/early 80's, to Generation Y, to the people born after the year 2000.

It's usually better to talk about Generations X, XY, Y and Z rather than millenials because of that.
