Age Poll, February 2015

Turning 18 in almost exactly 2 weeks.
Excited and nervous.

The goal was to avoid that whole stage of being 50 and saying I'm 40. This way I would be guaranteed to die young and beautiful.

I may be 20....but I feel like I'm 82.

Mmm you might be younger or older than me.

I thought you were older than 17, but age is a strange thing to guess on the Internet.

For instance, I would have pegged you as maybe mid-thirties rather than just about exactly the same age as I am.

[Wisconsin9]

Yes, except no (see the argument above). It doesn't really matter (it's just a decade after all) but the term does need some consistency of usage and I maintain that describing myself (born in mid-1995) as a 90s kid is misleading. Therefore, describing someone younger than me as such is more misleading.

I was born in the 1990s, therefore I was a kid in the 90s. Therefore I am a 90s kid.

You were an infant and a toddler in the nineties.

Would a disease feel any particular friendliness towards its rivals?

Diseases don't really have rivalries. I never had any special attachment to smallpox, but I never had any reason to hate it either.

Did you ever even meet it? I mean, it was basically dead by the time you were born.

18 in 9 days. Wouldn't mind being 6 or 7 or 8 again, though.

[Zottistan]

16 years of age.
