By age, I'm Generation X, but by philosophy, attitude, etc., according to my nieces and nephews, I'm a millennial (one of my nieces actually thinks I'm a zoomer... lol), but I think you're spot on with this.
I actually use whatever communications method the people in my life want to use.
My Mom is 71 and wants to talk on the phone. My brother is 42 and does a mix of SMS / MMS texting, phone calls, and the occasional Facebook Messenger. My cousin likes to video call with Facebook Messenger. My nieces and nephews like to use Discord / Instagram / Snapchat, so I use those.
It's weird - and more than a little stupid - how people get so hung up on a singular monolithic communication method.
- whimsicalism 5y agoTeenagers and young people in their 20s are not millenials anymore. FWIW, as a working Gen Z, I absolutely disagree with anyone trying to say that iMessage isn't popular. Sure it isn't the majority of conversations, but it does seem to be the preferred group chat app still.
