Here's a fun fact that I came across in my research but couldn't find a place to fit into this essay: Party Girl was actually the first "streaming" movie. It premiered on a website in June 1995, although they could only do it in black and white due to the bandwidth limitations of the time. I'm not exactly sure what it means that it was the first streaming movie but also made me nostalgic for a simpler time. The 90s we were weird, man.
I think that was happening before the internet, but the internet definitely added to it. Ironically though, the internet also blends the generations together. I’m a Millennial but I’m all too aware of Zoomer slang, simply from looking at TikTok and Twitter.

Another question, would everyone be so obsessed with categorizing others, for example millennials vs boomers vs gen z?
