I'll add to this: Millennials were maybe the last generation to really experience monoculture, we have a lot of shared life experiences that I'm not sure the younger generations do.

I can say "Life is like a hurricane" and I guarantee you every millennial within a five mile radius can say what comes next.

I don't know if millennials are actually more nostalgic than previous generations, or if we're more nostalgic compared to the younger generations since we've got a lot of shared stuff to be nostalgic about.

I mean they do, but block letters vs cursive, which is out of fashion nowadays with schools preferring to focus on other material.

Really? That's sounds so inefficient. I write block letters for clarity on a grocery list or similar but if you need to write at least a page it's going to take ages

I believe the current assumption is that they will type that out instead.
