      This. Our generation grew up on Reading Rainbow and the tail end of Mr. Rogers, not Blue’s Clues. Blue’s Clues is Gen Z fodder.

        Um, no? I was born in late 94 and was the prime audience for blue’s clues. I had so much blue’s clues merch as a tot. It was that and teletubbies. I would say the youngest millenials were probably a bit too young to have caught much of Mr Rogers (I didn’t) but that may be a case by case thing.

        That said, I do feel a lil disconnected from the rest of the millenial generation in what I remember from the 90s—as it’s basically nothing—and I often have to teach my '91 spouse and his similarly-aged friends about tech and current slang, but I’m still slightly to old to roll with gen z lol. Being a cusp gen baby is weird.

          Millennials are 1981 to 1996; you’re a very late millennial so it makes sense your experiences are more similar to Gen Z. I doubt many people only a couple years older than you watched Blue’s Clues.

      Yeah I’m like older gen z and was huge into blues clues. Tons of people my age hate being identified with gen z tho because we grew up with DS lites not iPads lol.

        No shame in being gen z. The political activism of that gen is truly impressive. They’re doing the best they can with what they’ve been given, and I think they’re doing great. I’m really proud of them as a generation :) I can’t wait to see Gen Alpha come into their own, too.
