GenX is what the comment is about. Millennials were born to home computers but the early ones had to contend with much the same mess we did.

Millennials were born to home computers

The majority of Millennials probably first got a PC in the home in their tween/teen years.

Yeah, early millennial and OPs comment fits to a “T” for me, though I think some of my experiences had a bit more socialization in context, like ICQ, Aol chat, and MSN messenger. The rise of cell phones, text messages, T9, etc. My kids are amazed when I pull out the VHS tapes at my parents, or my dad pulls out some cassettes or vinyls (though those have been more popular of late).

Early millennials are definitely thrown in there and remember "before the internet and cell phones" where a thing. I was flipping dip switches on my motherboard to make my swapped out components work. My first pc I got a hold of ran on dos and 5 1/4 floppies. Teens of the 90"s are probably the most pc tech literate ones.
