      Hell, I was even old enough when it was airing to think it was overrated then.

      Generational labels tend to divide by arbitrary boundaries more than actually give you insightful information about something exclusive to the group.

      The years for Millennials go up to 94-96, Seinfeld finished in 98. I doubt many that young would have seen it. I was born in 86 and I barely watched Seinfeld re-runs.

        Seinfeld was hugely syndicated. I was born in the 90s and watched tons of reruns of it. I think they played it after or before the Simpsons which my family always watched.

        I was born in 84 and have seen every episode multiple times. Except the clip shows, because once you figure out that’s what’s happening you know better next time around and skip them.

        ?? What do you think millennials were doing after 1996? Did they just phase out of existence?

        I was born in 86 and I barely watched Seinfeld re-runs.

        People had Seinfeld on in my college dorm during the mid-00s. It was one of the most syndicated shows of its era. If you remember 9/11, you remember Seinfeld.

      It’s not like every millennial watched it growing up. It’s not inconceivable that there are millennials who are seeing it now for only the first time and find it offensive.
