Apple Earns Top Spot as 'Most Intimate Brand' for Millennials

[Southern_Vet]

Why is Target up there so damn high? It’s such a crap place.

Have you been to WalMart? That's why.

Not well. It seems that people are more interested in getting intimate with their cars.

Reminds me of top gear, "I went on the internet and I found this".

I find it very hard to believe that Facebook wouldn't be on that list

Kinda hard to be intimate with a service that spills ones information for everyone to see.

Apparently, facebook scores really highly on one particular aspect of "intimacy".

It's not very fun to connect this to anything so prosaic as posting and reading constant ephemera, so I won't. Instead, I shall seek meaning further afield.

What sort of eroticism is most associated with ritual? Think of all the poorly written "romance" fiction you might have been exposed to....

Yes, you've got it.

anyway, some of that sort of thing veers into humiliation play.

The Aa Dictionary app that came with my MacBook Air 11 gives this as a definition of intimate:

• Intimate media, media artifacts created and collected to capture and commemorate aspects of family and intimate relationships

I still don't know what the heck this topic means or why this ranking is important. Too old, I guess.

No wonder Millenials get such a bad rap...Disney? Really?

Guess what, Disney's been pretty popular when every generation for several decades now. And if you include the properties that they now own like Marvel and Star Wars, I'm actually surprised that Apple is ranked higher!

I think however they define BrandIntimacy, it devalues the very human concept of intimacy.

When I was young we just called young people... "young people". It doesn't have the same flair as Gen X or Gen Y or Gen Z but it got the job done. "Baby Boomer" just meant there were a lot of us. It didn't PRETEND to tell you anything about our nature, for that would be FOLLY.

People who have "intimate" feelings towards a "brand", are in serious need of psychological counseling.

When I Wikipedia the definition of Millenial, I still don't have a clear answer, fuzzy at best. Were they the generation born around the turn of the (21st) century? Were they the ones just coming of age at the turn of the century? Can someone tell me what the birth-years for the Millenial generation is?

1981-1996 (age 22-37), so the oldest members of that generation came of age at the turn of the century and are now getting close to their 40th birthday.

Intimate is a poor choice... can’t live without makes more sense.

No. People just make up a range that’s somehow 20 years wide and expect that I, someone of the generation represented in Stranger Things, have everything in common with the actors playing them in Stranger Things.

The gap between my dad and me is about the length of some of these generational periods people quote. It’s stupid. As technology progresses, the generational gaps should be getting shorter, not longer. I used a typewriter to write book reports. Others in the often quoted ranges have likely never touched one.

Hey great... let's introduce a new fanboy argument into the usual Apple vs Android/Windows arguments.

Like honestly, does it harm your soul or something that one is there and the other is not? The Xbox and Playstation are for video games... they're about having FUN. If your ability to have fun with whichever one you purchased is somehow impeded by this list, then maybe it's time to quit playing.

The best way to evangelize for a platform is to release new games for it. Don't rely on EA to do the heavy lifting for you.

I'm in the younger side of so called Generation X. I also had to take make (high school) book reports using electric typewriters. By late high school and early college, my older brother got (for his graduation present) a magical device known as a Macintosh (black and white Mac SE I think). It was alongside a dot matrix printer, and we then abandoned the world of typewriters forever.

My nieces and nephews think that a typewriter is something that belongs in a museum.
