Millenial just gets used for whatever age group we are taking the piss out of today.
soon will be gen z
Yep. At this point the “group of old guys” could literally be referring to mid-40 millennials; old guys to anyone in their 20’s.
Cries in 39 year old Greatest Generation
OK, boomer
I honestly have no clue how to respond to this.
sounds very regional rather than generational.
Coming for the first time, naming your team “Quiztina Aguilera”, getting the last place, getting shitfaced in the process.
Either that or… You’re a Quizzard, Harry Quizlamic Extremists/Fundamentalists Quiz in my pants
The last one I went to, we tied for first then tied the tie breaker then they made us pick a number and we lost.
What generation is it that uses cringey engagement titles?
YOU WONT BELIEVE WHICH GENERATION HAS THE BEST ENGAGEMENT TITLES!?
THE ANSWER WILL SHOCK YOU!
BOOMERS HATE THIS ONE TRICK!
all of them.
What are engagement titles?
The first place team also had an old woman named Barb who had been on Jeopardy.
The other top team was one man.
But we kept coming back. We kept the same five core members but tried a bunch of people for our sixth. Eventually we got a woman who was legitimately a genius. She got a law degree as a teenager, but she also knew more about 90s gangsta rap than the rest of us. She once complimented me by calling me a polymath, which I immediately undermined by asking what a polymath was.
We also studied. I was always good at music, but my wife practiced and got good. My sister didn’t start with a specialty, so she took a little time every week to keep up on current events and pop culture. I studied Shakespeare. We didn’t always get first, but we were always contenders.
We became friends with the quiz master. My wife and I hired him to host trivia at our first baby shower.
My millenniall/zoomer team does good on history and sports, poorly on music and movies and we are at first name terms with all the quizmasters, one even occasionally joins our team in other quizzes. Are we the boomers?
How many Steely Dan albums do you own?
I’ve told you we do poorly in music 😅 Don’t even know Steely Dan
Sorry to tell you this bro but you’ve reached unc status…
UNC?
You, too, have reached unc status.
This sounds exactly like what that group of old guys were doing at your age
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
No.
Accurate. I had a late-millennial team. We dominated “sex, drugs and rock’n’roll” trivia. Now the restaurant we played at has been gentrified and is gone and the guy who held the team together passed away. Getting old sucks.
the last pub quiz I went to was a Star Trek/Star Wars hybrid quiz. Our team name was “The Lando Cardassians”
we won a photo of a storm trooper.
Sounds kind of line Gen X culture to me.
I made a team out of 20-70 year olds I collected from work so we can rock every topic. We do still lose to the team of old guys that are on a first name basis with the quiz master though.
My quiz team name is “Off in the Woods” and we can’t be beaten.
If I were playing against you, I’d have to name my team “beatin’ the woods”
Really should be named “Beating ‘Off in the Woods’”
Damn, I really blew it
last pub quiz i went to, the questions were all about people the quizmaster knew
This gives me an idea! We should have a Chardee MacDennis-style Lemmy trivia game where users come up with their own Lemmy-related trivia questions
