    I was born in October 96 so gen z and I grew up with a mega drive and PS1 so scart cables were very familiar. The only TV we had for years was a CRT so I was more than familiar with red yellow and white connectors into the back as well.

    You were born in 1996 and you don't consider yourself Millennial as denoted by being born when the Millennium changed (2000)?

    1996 is end millennial, and start gen z.

    Though, usually if you got hand me downs as a child, you'd get the same experiences as the people born 3-6 years before you.

    That said, I've that splitting people up and putting them into groups like this is a pseudo science over generalization.

    Ding ding. Most of my early childhood memories are video tapes, Compaq PC that was a big brick, playing PC games with a joystick, a mega drive, a PS1, family trips/holidays in the car. My family did not have a lot of money so everything I grew up with to say when I was 10 was older stuff. I got a CRT for my room from my great aunt that I thought was the shit when I was about 7-9 and that was only really when thinner TV's were becoming a thing. It always amuses me that people want to label me a millennial when I didn't actually turn 18 at the millennial, I remember 90's kid stuff because I grew up with a Gameboy and Pokémon, I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons in the UK. I don't relate much to gen z because the younger end speaks a completely different language to me.

    Those are called composite, just so you know

    There were composite and component cables for these consoles.

    My mnemonic device for remembering which of the two that sucked was that: one is called component, and the other is compo-shite :)
