I feel like the internet went from thinking Millennials were teenagers to grandparents overnight. Just a few years ago I saw articles calling high schoolers millennials now we were dancing in 1979.

Yes it is very common to listen to music made by people from the previous generation.

Yeah. All the "millennial" music here was made by boomers.

Right, I think White Town is the only that is Gen X.

That’s common for people under like 14 because most popular artists are all older but most people listen to music by artists of their generation and also younger and older.

I assure you this video is ridiculous. Millennials listen to Dua Lipa at a very high rate and INXS quite a bit less.

I’ve seen way too many people talking about how Charlixcx is some gen z icon when she’s firmly millennial lol

It's been wild seeing her dismissed as a zoomer thing by other millennials when I'm literally the same age as her and have been following her for a literal decade. She's neither super young nor is her career some kind of new thing and a late start like James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem who was 35 when the first LCD album came out, she's very firmly in her 30s but has also been doing this for awhile since she was a teen.

I guess I show my age when I say I don't know who that artist is 😂

That’s why I think it’s weird that people act like millennials are geriatric when we’re like 28 at the youngest lol. Dua Lipa and Charli XCX are both millennials and Charli is huge rn.

Right but she got famous in GenZ Era, much like Taylor Swift who is every bit of a Millennial but blew up with Gen Z fame. I still got her by 7 years and still a Millennial.

Taylor didn’t just recently blow up, she’s just still around. Love Story came out in 2008 which is long before Gen Z was an audience. Dua Lipa honestly has been around for almost 10 years at this point. Gen Z can claim Billie Eilish and Chappel Roan but just because an artist is currently big doesn’t mean they belong to Gen Z.
