sounds very regional rather than generational.

This sounds exactly like what that group of old guys were doing at your age

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

The first place team also had an old woman named Barb who had been on Jeopardy.

The other top team was one man.

But we kept coming back. We kept the same five core members but tried a bunch of people for our sixth. Eventually we got a woman who was legitimately a genius. She got a law degree as a teenager, but she also knew more about 90s gangsta rap than the rest of us. She once complimented me by calling me a polymath, which I immediately undermined by asking what a polymath was.

We also studied. I was always good at music, but my wife practiced and got good. My sister didn't start with a specialty, so she took a little time every week to keep up on current events and pop culture. I studied Shakespeare. We didn't always get first, but we were always contenders.

We became friends with the quiz master. My wife and I hired him to host trivia at our first baby shower.

Millenial just gets used for whatever age group we are taking the piss out of today.

Coming for the first time, naming your team "Quiztina Aguilera", getting the last place, getting shitfaced in the process.

I think if you look at the fact that 7 of the 12 people this has ever happened to are millennials, or were considered millennials at some point in the 5,000 times the generational definition has been changed, then I suppose yes it could vaguely be construed as a tiny slice of a particular sect of millennial culture.

Having said that, there are millennials who are grandparents, and I would bet my last buck that there are some who are great-grandparents (or soon to be) at this point. There are millennials still working on their secondary education, living with roommies, and never even been on a date, basically living a lifestyle and culture not much different than people considered Gen Z. The overwhelming majority of us have never experienced anything like the scenario in that post, so from that perspective, I'd say, no it's not something specifically tied to "millennial culture".

What generation is it that uses cringey engagement titles?

the last pub quiz I went to was a Star Trek/Star Wars hybrid quiz. Our team name was "The Lando Cardassians"

we won a photo of a storm trooper.

My millenniall/zoomer team does good on history and sports, poorly on music and movies and we are at first name terms with all the quizmasters, one even occasionally joins our team in other quizzes. Are we the boomers?

I made a team out of 20-70 year olds I collected from work so we can rock every topic. We do still lose to the team of old guys that are on a first name basis with the quiz master though.

Accurate. I had a late-millennial team. We dominated “sex, drugs and rock’n’roll” trivia. Now the restaurant we played at has been gentrified and is gone and the guy who held the team together passed away. Getting old sucks.

Don't see any indication that Millenials are less into sports than other generations and be honest no generation in America is good at history.

No.

last pub quiz i went to, the questions were all about people the quizmaster knew

My quiz team name is "Off in the Woods" and we can't be beaten.

Sounds kind of line Gen X culture to me.
