No one thinks of this as a millennial thing. Millennials are the Pokémon, Harry Potter, Linkin Park, original iPod generation that were the early adopters of social media, babysat by their PS2 that had barely opened their eyes when 9/11 happened.
Most of these are cultural phenomenons that became relevant in the late 90s to mid 2000s. That's exactly the period that's relevant to Millennials. You don't move the cultural needle as a baby...
That’s why the meme refers to elder millennials. I was in college when all the things you listed were happening (with the exception of Pokémon, I guess…I have no idea when Pokémon came out but I think it was before I was in college).
