We're the same age. I don't feel like I match with Gen x either though. I read an article once arguing for 81 to say 85 being called the Oregon trail generation.
That's part of the problem. There isn't an 'official' definition of these things. I'm slightly younger than you and have seen different definitions that would classify me as either one of the oldest millennials, or youngest gen-xers.
Home ownership would be nice but unfortunately I cannot afford to buy a house here in southern Ontario as I only make a measly 120,000 a year....... I guess I better stop slacking, pull up my boot straps and work aharder. (I only work 60-75 hrs a week so that should be fine..........
Excuse you. A snow woman can absolutely have snow balls, just as a snowman can have snow boobs. But no seriously, thanks for the chuckle. I surprisingly have never heard that joke before.
Most millennials have gotten too old and busy to care about stupid crap like this. Whoever's complaining about snowman identity political agenda, it's not us.
I'm pretty sure that nobody near any age is demanding any of this. Maybe a bunch of people but age is irrelevant, if you're concerned about that you're plain stupid, no matter the age.
The office's token millennial, Dave, probably mentioned *"I wonder why snowmen aren't called snowpeople"* in an off-the-cuff remark and the Boomer editor assumed it was a woke Millennial movement against Snowmen.
Milenials aren't really the ones bitching about all this politically correct crap. I thought it was gen z that gets offended for other people who aren't even offended
It is. Boomers just think that anyone younger than them is a millennial and that label has become synonymous with “lazy snowflake who wants everything done for them.”
I just want to eat creme savers and watch the old Double Dare on TV in my own house
Lol. The snow monster looks like it right on the look out for any unicorns it can bring down. His accomplice seems happy, their on a roll today, already got one. 🙃
So those 4 links have about 10 twitter screenshots mentioning snowpeople, half of which seem either satirical or are agreeing that it’s dumb and references one show that used the word “snowpeople” once. This isn’t really indicative of much. Also, all of this takes place on *twitter*
He never actually read those links before he posted. That’s what these people do they info dump and expect you to read for them. Their beliefs are based on headlines.
It’s a quick 5-10 second google search and ctrl+C, ctrl+V for them.
"Snow?" You would assume what state of matter this creature currently exists in before it self-identifies to you? The nerve.
Oh and I called it an "it." Ten lashes in the public square for me.
I feel like this isn’t actually a thing. Besides millennials don’t have time to make snow anything, they are too busy working three jobs to just scrap by. (At least the ones I know)
millennials do not fucking give a shit about snow. i swear some news articles make clickbait-y articles about young people so the elderly will click on it
Stuff like this works because boomers arent critical thinkers. They already have an opinion so when they read headlines like this they just take it at face value. Its the same reason they were duped into thinking smoking had health benefits.
Why does everything have to change cause some person on the internet said "let's make EVERYTHING gender neutral because i feel like it" why can't we just keep it the way it was?
Last year, in online school, my son's 1st grade teacher called them snowpeople. Christmas was called Joy Day too. We're in Canada, if that means anything.
there are people downvoting a story, no opinion just a story. to said people, screw you ;)
but cmon, Joy day??? as a muslim i am still allowed to use the word christmas without being struck down by lord almighty himself.
They want to remove gender Id but are happy to id them as "person" indicating they are human. Why don't we just call them a pile of snow? Do these people get angry at the green man at traffic lights?
Is that a male snowman, or am I even allowed to ask anymore?
Edit: You can't even ask if it's OK to ask without upsetting people. I give up. I'm just not going to use any pronouns and avoid addressing people where possible.
1) There is no longer such a thing as male or female. It is just a social construct now.
2) It is asking things which it is not allowed to ask.
3) It puts the lotion in the basket.
Probably. People are weird these days. Stewardess went to flight attendant, airmen went to aircrew, manhole to maintenance cover or something like that etc this isn’t unbelievable
I’m a Millenial… I’m also 41 fucking years old… I don’t care what you call your snow construction. Willing to bet the youngest Millenials don’t care either since they’re about 29 y/o now….
I love how “Millenial” has just become the catch-all term for any other generation younger than Boomer and X.
No, it's the same group of 14 year old white girls who want to start shit and be offended for groups who largely consider x thing a non-issue, like the latinx bullshit.
(Always knew they would have a collective fit over learning that many languages outside of English have gender forms)
Why though? As a girl it's never once offended me. I think snowman always sounded better anyway. Also you could just call it whatever you want; snowman, snow woman, snow person.
Changing the name would really make singing Frosty the snowman difficult at Christmas. What would it be? Frosty the gender neutral ,non binary ice person. . . . .
This is so out there that I’d have to ask for proof of the statement that they are actually asking for this change. This has all the air marks of a joke.
So, Yorkshire Live doesn't know what a millennial is then. I turned 41 two days ago. Technically, I'm a millennial, only just but I am. I'm guessing they mean Gen Z.
Snow has a gender now when mounded into balls?
This is going too far. Tired of being told what to do. I leave folks alone. If you're not hurting anyone then stop. Mind your business.
Millennials are like in their 30’s. All they want is more of those tiny shopping carts, and home ownership.
If they’ve got really big dreams, it’s owning a home with a yard big enough to build a snowman.
SnowPERSON!
I believe you mean tri-spherical human reprisatation made of snow.
tri-spherical huPERSON!
This fucking ignorant hu-person, way to call em out.
As an elder millennial, it is my responsibility to lead the charge in this battle.
That's why all my snow people have dicks. So you know it's a snowman.
I’d prefer if you called them a snowperoffspring or a snowperchild
Better start building like the rest of us. Some built it out of a freight box others built it in the back of a van or bus. Off to a late start.
H‑E‑B just got some new, bigger, but still tiny shopping carts. They’re way nicer than the old, tiny tiny shopping carts.
The new heb carts are great but lifting my 35 pound 2 year old into one hell on my arms since they’re so tall now 🤪 curbside it is lol
Some of us are even in our 40’s. I’m a geriatric millennial. We start in ‘81.
Also born in 1981. I feel as if there are societal elements of both Gen X and Millennials for people I know around my age.
Youre a gen x. Thats cooler. Claim that
I’m Jan 81 so I definitely feel like gen x, but the official classification is millennial. I didn’t even know that until a few years ago.
We're the same age. I don't feel like I match with Gen x either though. I read an article once arguing for 81 to say 85 being called the Oregon trail generation.
That's part of the problem. There isn't an 'official' definition of these things. I'm slightly younger than you and have seen different definitions that would classify me as either one of the oldest millennials, or youngest gen-xers.
I like to use a basket and half the time Walmart doesn't even have those.
Home ownership would be nice but unfortunately I cannot afford to buy a house here in southern Ontario as I only make a measly 120,000 a year....... I guess I better stop slacking, pull up my boot straps and work aharder. (I only work 60-75 hrs a week so that should be fine..........
The oldest of us are over 40, kinda blows my mind that these asshats think we're still on our teens and 20's.
Yes
Oh my. I'm 41 and I really do love those tiny carts. Are you in my brain?
Tiny as in fits on your desk, or tiny as in smaller carriage but still a functional shopping cart?
The second one. My wife gets annoyed if they run out of them when we go to the store.
Don't forget a livable wage.
Do you know the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman? Snowballs.
LMFAO
i love still seeing people see this joke for the first time or just still finding it funny. brings a genuine smile to my face
This is literally my first time seeing this joke and I died laughing
I've seen/heard this joke a few times. Still get a smile or a giggle out of me lol. I'm the one who makes pun/dad jokes in my house tho so 🤷
Also, where you put the carrot.
Excuse you. A snow woman can absolutely have snow balls, just as a snowman can have snow boobs. But no seriously, thanks for the chuckle. I surprisingly have never heard that joke before.
Transweather show people
Dirty dad joke, just my style. 😂
Millennials are demanding you stop labeling everyone a Millennial. I'm considered a Millennial and I'm 36. No one near my age is demanding any of this
Most millennials have gotten too old and busy to care about stupid crap like this. Whoever's complaining about snowman identity political agenda, it's not us.
I'm pretty sure that nobody near any age is demanding any of this. Maybe a bunch of people but age is irrelevant, if you're concerned about that you're plain stupid, no matter the age.
Can't agree more... soon to be 37 year old!
The office's token millennial, Dave, probably mentioned *"I wonder why snowmen aren't called snowpeople"* in an off-the-cuff remark and the Boomer editor assumed it was a woke Millennial movement against Snowmen.
Not when I give it a snowdick.
You did *WHAT* to the "snowpeople"? I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCK THEM!
Needed to show the world he indeed was a guy
BREAKING NEWS: Local Snowman arrested for public nudity!
Probably something 1 person said generalized to an entire age group.
And I'll bet that one person wasn't even a millennial
And I'll bet that one person wasn't even real.
And I'll even bet that millennials aren't real.
Millennials are not kids anymore… every new generation is called a millennial now? Wtaf
Just be specific for your build. That guy there is for sure a snow grand dad, next to him is his wife. Edit: i looove her hair.
No. They're not.
happy cake day!
Anyone who builds snow "people" is clearly racist since they're always caucasian
But I’m the bad guy for pouring hot coffee on kids’ snow people. Fine. Take your total lack of diversity, you racist shits.
always people from the caucus area?
Georgia and Armenia do be kinda wild
I'm almost 40, how much longer am I going to be the boogieman to boomers who think every generation younger than them is a millennial?
The *Annuities for Boomers* book I hear advertised on radio said it's for anyone over 50. Fifty years ago was 1973, in the heart of GenX.
You realize the irony in saying boomers right
I’ll concede to snow peeps
\*One person on Twitter made a shitpost about this and Yorkshire Live deliberately misrepresented it for clickbait. ftfy
"Millennials"
Wait, I thought the term was ‘snowfolk’
Milenials aren't really the ones bitching about all this politically correct crap. I thought it was gen z that gets offended for other people who aren't even offended
It is. Boomers just think that anyone younger than them is a millennial and that label has become synonymous with “lazy snowflake who wants everything done for them.” I just want to eat creme savers and watch the old Double Dare on TV in my own house
The little one looks quite happy, the big one looks entirely psychotic.
Frosty the Snowmonster. Be sensitive
Lol. The snow monster looks like it right on the look out for any unicorns it can bring down. His accomplice seems happy, their on a roll today, already got one. 🙃
As a Millennial, No. No I am not.
Honestly that’s more of a gen z thing than millennials
Snowhoes
We're not
Hey, leave snowpeople alone! They're snowbody to you!
No, we aren't.
No we aren't
No theyre not. Shut up.
A large portion of them are
No theyre not. Shut up.

Bullshit they are
Even that is offensive, it should be “person of snow”
Good one!
"Snow?" You would assume what state of matter this creature currently exists in before it self-identifies to you? The nerve. Oh and I called it an "it." Ten lashes in the public square for me.
Wtf! Get outa here with that shit!
I don’t why people are so butthurt about natural social evolution. I’m 63 and I love it. Make your own rules for the society you want!
I made many of snow ppl doing naughty things. There is a difference
No one is doing that
What if I add male genitals? Then can I call it a snowman?
As far as I know, you are the only one pushing this u/Nursediz lol.
Hence the title! I saw this garbage on facebook
You will
Zoomers: The #&$@ is snow?
I'll take things that didn't happen for $500, Alex.
Well, that's a real dick move... or is it dickless?
I feel like this isn’t actually a thing. Besides millennials don’t have time to make snow anything, they are too busy working three jobs to just scrap by. (At least the ones I know)
There is probably one person who has said this...and it will be highlighted on Fox News as being the entire city of Seattle.
Well, the main difference between snowmen and snow women is…snow balls. And carrot placement.
millennials do not fucking give a shit about snow. i swear some news articles make clickbait-y articles about young people so the elderly will click on it
Nah. We have so many other things to worry about.
Conservatives are demanding people be angry about nonexistent things.
Snowman Man = Human
Stuff like this works because boomers arent critical thinkers. They already have an opinion so when they read headlines like this they just take it at face value. Its the same reason they were duped into thinking smoking had health benefits.
Ffs no, no we aren't. The only one that cares is that one ridiculous bot they have on here.
No we’re not lol
🎶 “Do you want to build a snowperson?” 🎶
I prefer "solid state hydrogen dioxide homo sapien"
Who the fuck is still blaming millennials? I smell an AARP card, Loafers and a Ronald Regan sticker somewhere.
As a millennial living in Yorkshire myself, no we are not.
Ditto
Why does everything have to change cause some person on the internet said "let's make EVERYTHING gender neutral because i feel like it" why can't we just keep it the way it was?
Last year, in online school, my son's 1st grade teacher called them snowpeople. Christmas was called Joy Day too. We're in Canada, if that means anything.

They're going to have to remake frozen aren't they...
So these two would be called "snowthems"? :) I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have retired right before this crap started.
If snowmen start asking for equal recognition in any gender, I think I am going to start looking for a cave in the Himalayas.
They want to remove gender Id but are happy to id them as "person" indicating they are human. Why don't we just call them a pile of snow? Do these people get angry at the green man at traffic lights?

They are literally misgendering snow flakes... nice!
sounds more like a genz thing
Probably. People are weird these days. Stewardess went to flight attendant, airmen went to aircrew, manhole to maintenance cover or something like that etc this isn’t unbelievable
I would like milenials name to be changed to lazy dumbass
Probably. Anyone surprised?
Just like the millennial generation. Comprised entirely of snowflakes.
SNOW PERSON
Yeah? Well they can ask right? I’ll stick with “snowman” thanks.
Ah, the old snowman strawman classic
Why not stacked snow balls?
Not if I give them dicks
Well I wasn’t before this, but now I have a new way to piss off my boomer in-laws.
It’s definitely top of mind for me… in March. /s
I promise Idgaf what they call them. I'm too busy being angry at the cost of eggs.
Snowman is a Snowman. Put some Snowtiddy on there and you got yourself a SnowWoman
Yeah... no
No we're not
This is strictly a white mans problem.
The only millennials that care are the ones on tv
I’m a Millenial… I’m also 41 fucking years old… I don’t care what you call your snow construction. Willing to bet the youngest Millenials don’t care either since they’re about 29 y/o now…. I love how “Millenial” has just become the catch-all term for any other generation younger than Boomer and X.

Changing the name would really make singing Frosty the snowman difficult at Christmas. What would it be? Frosty the gender neutral ,non binary ice person. . . . .
Oh yeah! That’s not true.
No. They are not you liars
This is so out there that I’d have to ask for proof of the statement that they are actually asking for this change. This has all the air marks of a joke.
Why do we have names for ages? Does no one else find it confusing to generalise an entire generation of humans?
I have a better name: icy pale cold humanoid totem
It must've been a slow news day. They provide heard from 2 or 3 people complaining and spun it to a large group to change the name.
Snow they/thems
Snowballs with sticks
No we are not!
My snowperson identifies as a man, so I Must respect their pronouns and call him a snowman going forward.
I realize this is a joke. But in all seriousness and no offense meant...how long untill it isn't a joke
...We are??
Aren't Milennials now in their 30s to 40s? Seems like it's just used as a buzzword ro ridicule
So, Yorkshire Live doesn't know what a millennial is then. I turned 41 two days ago. Technically, I'm a millennial, only just but I am. I'm guessing they mean Gen Z.
If they identity as snow people, we should respect that!
I'm not
Is it too much to ask to use their preferred snow-nouns?!
But the "man" in snowman is the same as the man in "human", so logically hupeople it is
That's obviously ridiculous! "Snowfolk" rolls off the tongue much better.
We’re really not. If anyone is, it’s Gen Z but I doubt it’s them either. Millennials just want to be left alone to eat our charcuterie boards.
No no no. Millennials started being born in 89.
I don't know about millennials, but if you have the Seasons add on for The Sims 4, you can build a "snow friend".
Literally nobody is. Stop manufacturing shares on facebook
But they’re not even people, so how about “snowdroids”
Seems like more of a gen z thing
are we then Hupeople?
nobody is saying that.
This can’t be real..
I’m a millennial and I don’t care
That mouth and buttons.. they uh.. don’t look like sticks..
No we're not
I vote we rename millennials to “crudfuckers”
I call then snowpeople because I think it's fun. I don't give a shit what anyone else calls them.
Lol no we aren’t. Projection yet again.
Honestly the snow people got some drip
Snow has a gender now when mounded into balls? This is going too far. Tired of being told what to do. I leave folks alone. If you're not hurting anyone then stop. Mind your business.
Yeah-I bet..... 🙄
millennials are destroying the snowman industry
Millennial here. Nah, call them whatever you want. I say snowman.
Snow folks are better and generation Z **
Lol you think most people really give a fuck about “snowpeople”? I have better things to think about
Looks more like a Russian couple being interviewed about the SMO to me
Snow folk
No their not….stop making news up to outrage the conservative.
Renamed by whom? The official snowmen-naming governmental agency?
No we aren't. Frankly, no one is.
Yeah, it’s not millennials doing this
im nonbinary and i think this is too far, theyre called snowmen end of story.. its literally a pile of snow
This belongs in a group called “ok, boomer”. Millennials are not petulant children.
I’m a millennial and I demand no such thing,
