That makes my dad cool cos he was born in 1944.I'd say the living WW2 survivors, whether military or civilian, are easily the coolest.
There's a lot of people who don't realise that the majority of 'millennials' are in their 30s, heading towards 40s.X is best
Z is worst
I was born in 81 so just missed out on being X. Millennials are cool though. Annoying how a huge number of people get Gen Z and Millennials mixed up.
Kids of the 80s when all that happened were doing kids stuff though ,in bad fashionGot to be children of the 80s
Cold War culture…nuclear apocalypse was de rigeur
Bubblegum movies
New Romantics
Pop Punk
Hip Hop
MTV
Rock music was for more than just smelly people
U2 were still cool…Simple Minds were cooler
Acid house…Raves
Shaun Elliott, Gary Rowell and Marco Gabbiadini
Was there a cooler generation?
Let me underline my point with:
Joshua Tree is up there like
Aye maybe. I do love their stuff around that time. Only heard retrospectively I suppose. I Travel was a fixture at night clubs for me but I was too young to go to them in 82.Simple Minds were cool as fuck until about 1982, mind. U2 were never cool, even when their music was any good.
Aye. They weren’t cool when they were leading up to their first albums ferchrissakes.Imagine thinking U2 or Simple Minds were cool ffs
Same as me mate.In fairness Boris that is a classic tune.
I turned 14 in 1980 and it was a great time to be alive. I can’t comment on what my parents thought but for me personally, I was discovering great music, figuring out that lasses were quite nice, getting stuck into some fantastic literature (George Orwell in particular) and in short working out who I was as a person. If only life was that simple now.
Not as if loads of people are walking round like the bottom two though so it's not really a fair comparison
Imagine thinking U2 or Simple Minds were cool ffs
I have a crackpot theory that I can’t be bothered to prove. It’s that most acts are only good for about three years or a couple of albums. Then they either get progressively worse or irrelevant or just repeat themselves.Aye. They weren’t cool when they were leading up to their first albums ferchrissakes.
Alot of the people who use the word millennial as an insult are millennials themselves.X is best
Z is worst

Dinnar like, our lasses gran isn't very cool.I'd say the living WW2 survivors, whether military or civilian, are easily the coolest.
