(8.1) What is being called a Big Field Scream will be held at the big field of your choosing this Saturday starting at 6pm. Organizers suggest 15 minutes, but we think you should keep going till you’re done. This overdue catharsis is being hosted by a group with the excellent name, Millennials Are Not Children, as well as the good people over at Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism. They suggest:
Go to your nearest open field or park and have a good long S C R E E E M like this: AAAAAAAAAAA to vent your frustration with 2020!
Both Millennials and Zoomers welcome! This event inspired by the tweet reposted here, though the age range was kinda arbitrary. COME SCREAM. We really do NOT care how old you are!
Social distancing and mask wearing highly encouraged if you end up screaming with other people!
While I appreciate the generosity of the all-ages sentiment, I think I will sit this one out. But I hope I can hear it from my house because this cohort deserves a good loud scream. Plus, I am considering a murder for right about that time.
If Millennials are no longer children, then who are they? A few years ago the Pew Research Center decided to use 1996 as the last birth year for Millennials: “Anyone born between 1981 and 1996* . . . is considered a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of a new generation.” (Please say Pepsi.)
*Ages 24 to 39 in 2020. I did that math in my head unlike kids today with their computers and talking phones and . . . uh oh . . . sorry.
(I thank Matthew Lawrence of the Law and Order Party for this tip. I don’t know if he is a Millennial, but he is definitely one of those Luxury Gays. Go sign up for his once-a-week email blast.)
