    I’ve actually seen a lot of millennials likening 6 7 to 1337 and such that millennials made a big deal over at that age.

      Yeah, and a lot of boomers disagreed with the characterization of millenials in the media, too. Generations are not a monolith, but often the differences between them are exploited by the ruling class to drive a stake between members of the working class.

      1337 was definitely a late gen x meme that millenials appropriated, went well back into the 90s before America was OnLine.

        Millennials span birth year from ‘81-‘96. Plenty of time for coming up with 58008 (upside down) and 1337.
