Originally, the 80s kids were supposed to by Gen Y, then millennials were going to be mid-90s to 2010s. There’s nothing official about this generation "naming," it’s just another mechanism of separation. Since I was a mid 80s kid, I’m considered a Millennial. Can’t control the time I was born, so I guess that’s the "generation" I’m in.
It’s all nonsense anymore. They like to use that "Xennial" term since the Boomers use Millennial as a scarecrow for lazy kids during the time we were growing up. Even though Millennials are in their 30s now and are in the workforce paying their social security 😏
I got rid of most of my DVDs and BRs, but a small amount of CDs. About a decade ago, I was going to buy items from iTunes that I didn’t see the need to buy physically. That changed in about 4 years and I started buying any music I liked on CD, then I started collecting vinyl during the pandemic. I still buy either medium, but I gravitate toward CD sets since the vinyl versions might be missing tracks. However, in the case of Yes and Van Halen, the labels are releasing box sets with LP/CD/BR.
Movies, I’ve started buying BR and UHD, but I get the latter if I think it’s that big of difference. I don’t have high end TVs, plus certain 4K UHD discs don’t work with the Xbox Series X; but work fine in the One X. You’re good buying either version, especially if the movie comes with a digital copy. You can save some money by getting the BR disc, then you get the 4K video file through Movies Anywhere. TV is primarily in BR, also very rare for a digital version too.
It’s never too late to start collecting physical formats.
