Where are all the mumsnetters who:

  • are mid-millennial
  • Extremely Online
  • left wing
  • probs on Twitter
  • do not think gaming is the scourge of society and causes you to turn into a zombie
  • does not know anyone who unironically plays golf

Bonus points for ex-emo kids.

Do you exist?

Possibly not because I don't know what extremely online means?

ThatchersGapingVag · 22/12/2020 16:41

Probably me. But I'm also child free, mostly here for the Litter Tray topic.

VictoriasCousin · 22/12/2020 16:42

I am a mid millennial and fairly left wing though. I only say fairly because I had reservations about Corbyn.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 22/12/2020 16:42

How old is mid millennial?
Whats extremely online mean?

CremeEggThief · 22/12/2020 16:43

What's extremely online? And mid-millennial? I thought millennial was from 2000 onwards?Confused

Bleugh. Do you have to have blue hair and be non binary too?

I appear to be at the older end of millennial so I guess not me.

Gardeniaofdelights · 22/12/2020 16:45

I fit most of your criteria except that my dad is a golf fanatic Grin

DelphineWalsh · 22/12/2020 16:45

They're on Twitch

DianaOfTheLakes · 22/12/2020 16:45

Lighten up OP.

Whyistheteacold · 22/12/2020 16:46

@whoamongstus you called? 😂 Apart from twitter, never did get into it and I feel like I've missed the bus now.

Baby is asleep on my chest which means times to play a bit of COD before I make dinner 🌼

SantasBritchesSpelleas · 22/12/2020 16:48

Not a millennial (Gen X) but I'm left wing with no view either way on gaming and I don't know anyone who plays golf, ironically or non-ironically.

I'm not on Twitter and doubt I'm extremely online although I don't know what that means.

Don't have children but if I did they'd probably be memos!

BertieBotts · 22/12/2020 16:48

Yes but I fucking hate twitter. Thought it was brilliant when it was first out, now it's just a nasty bunfight arena.

One of DH's gaming friends is also an ex pro golfer :o

Am I disqualified? I am very slightly too old to have been an emo. All the emos were our younger brothers/sisters and we were simply too cool to join in. But I had an extensive eyeliner and button badge collection...

SantasBritchesSpelleas · 22/12/2020 16:48

Emos, not memos.

Highfalutinlootin · 22/12/2020 16:49

Is this what my fellow millennials are like? Yikes. No wonder the older versions hate us.

Highfalutinlootin · 22/12/2020 16:49

Generations, not versions.

I reckon you still qualify. And you're right, Twitter dot com is a cesspit yet here I go logging in anyway ha

@DianaOfTheLakes

Lighten up OP.
I'm not sure which bit of my OP was not clearly v lighthearted?

Just wondering. Nobody I know would admit to using mumsnet (and I wouldn't) but... I'm here. So there must be more of us

@parlourpalm

What is Extremely Online?
I feel like if you don't know, you're not.

However, here is a Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_Online

So edgy.
Not attempting to be edgy. Just wondering if there's anyone else like me on here? Unless you think my...existence is edgy?
