I was born in 96 and had a flip phone, I remember getting the Simpsons meltdown on it from the back of a magazine. I'm not a millennial, I'm just about gen z.

Seems like it. I've had people tell me I'm a millennial and I've had people tell me I'm gen z. According to Wikipedia I'm gen z but anytime there's something about gen z on the news it's like an alien language to me and the people in the articles are usually like late teens/early twenties.

Hell, I am 24 and this is alien to me. What the hell am I gonna do?

I downloaded a custom logo from my phone operator to display on the main screen of my Nokia 3310.

Did the same for the secondary screen on my Motorola Razr, which it's only purpose was to display the Motorola logo and IIRC display the camera for taking selfies (since phones didn't have dedicated selfie cams yet). That was all it did.

I bought a ringtone for my Samsung flip phone that always freaked people out. I used it for text messages.

The sound was a cat purring.

The reactions were entertaining.

I ripped a piece of audio, edited it down to the piece I wanted to use, and put it on my phone from my computer. When I got a call, it was Kyle yelling "You're such a fat fuck, Cartman, that when you walk down the street people go GOD DAMMIT that kid's a BIG FAT FUCK."

I remember buying like 50 bucks in ringtones and then being too embarrassed to use them
