I have two answers for you.
1: I have acne I’m too old for and gray hairs I’m too young for.
2: I have the depression of a millennial and the uninhibited madness of a zoomer.

Currently there are about 8.2 billion people on earth. When I was born it was just under 3 billion.
I was at 3.7 billion. I could rant all night, but so many of our problems are from explosive population growth. Humans never developed political and social systems to deal with it, and we sure as hell didn’t evolve for it.
My life began at the end of history.

I was in high school on 9/11/2001. I remember another teacher ran into my classroom and told my teacher to turn the news on just as first period was ending. The tv was already on in my 2nd period class. I watched both towers fall on live tv. It was… an experience, that’s for sure.
Side note, my physics teacher was in the Navy Reserves and was called into active duty. My physics class was “taught” with varying degrees of success by substitutes for the rest of the semester. That was an interesting class, and for the wrong reasons.
I was hungover, laying on my office floor praying to just die. Strange enough, our work orders from the ISP weren’t ready, rare event. So everyone was watching TV as it went down. Still remember the mood instantly shifting from, “What a tragedy.”, to, “Holy shit!! We’re under attack!”
In the year 2000 I was half the age I am now.

I know what a Boomer is but what’s a Zoomer?
Gen Z, or those born between the late 90s and around 2010.
It can be applied more broadly to mean youths in general though, just as boomer gets used by the younger crowd to mean anyone older than them.
I was there, at Cape Canaveral, in the audience, when Challenger exploded. I had just finished Jr. Space Camp, and decided that if stuff like that was gonna happen while I was around NASA, then maybe I should look for an alternative career path.
Cell phones were never to be seen on high school property. You’re allowed to have them for emergencies, but you can never whip it out. If a teacher or administrator saw it, it would be taken away until end of the day.
When I started school my year group would use encyclopaedias and the school library to look up information for projects, by the end of primary school (elementary for the yanks) we were using Google in the school computer room.
The information age is my brother
I was 6 years old when Optimus Prime died for our sins.
I told all my friends on AIM to create MySpace accounts and add me when I was 18.
