Your generation is currently enslaved to Facebook misinformation so lets not get too high and mighty about the info Gen Z consumes

This. Although I’m a young Gen X and many of my fellow Gen X folks have bought into Q Anon, the Big Lie, etc.

All this is nonsense, but that's how Tom Brokaw & other mainstream media pundits classify us.

No. Born in 1976 and have never ever considered myself a millennial.

+1.

I think the breaks between generations are more of a continuum than a hard line. I’ve heard of “Generation Jones”, consisting of younger Boomers and older X’ers, and “Xennials”, made up of younger X’ers and older Millennials.

It’s that simple. “Boomer” is a state of mind that can apply to anyone who’s old.

Exactly what I was coming here to say . Just because you’re Gen X doesn’t mean you might not be out of touch and entitled in a Boomery way.

Gen X was the least entitled generation. Other than our grandparents, who lived through the Depression, WWII, and who built modern America.

We’re like the forgotten middle child. The one that behaves, finishes their homework, and never gets in trouble. And still gets ignored by the parents while they focus on the cokehead, wastrel older sibling, and the spoiled baby of the family.

Remember 1990s, 2000s and 2010s are three oldies channel on my XM radio.

Gen X gets lost as accomplished zero. I think Gen Z has much more on common with Boomers than the other two groups. ,

Amazon was made by a GenXer.

And Twitter. And Google.

Let's not forget that the term "Gen X" was just an alternative to using the words "Baby Bust Generation". I don't mind being called a Gen Xer but let's be honest here, when boomers called us this in the 90's, they weren't saying it to be nice. It was often times used as an insult, spit out. As though the people born in gen x had any control over how large the generation would ultimately be. Most of the time I hear someone calling a Gen Xer a boomer, it's a joke. Gen Xers are not at all boomers.

To the person that put the Gen X generation as only 10 years from 1965-1975, I've literally never seen it described that way. From what I've seen, it's becoming more accepted to have Gen X end in 1982. Although to be fair, I'd say '83 and '84 have more in common with Gen X than Millennial in the way most were raised. By this I mean, I didn't experience helicopter parenting and neither did most of the people I know that were Gen X. Most of that didn't really start until the 90's. I used a freaking rotary phone in my early childhood.

Jen Z is bitterly screwed up. They have lost the ability to evaluate evidence and simply repeat whatever is trending on their preferred social media. Bunch of green-haired zombie children who will screw anything that moves and waste their lives going down rabbit holes to find the perfect bizarre subculture for their Tick Tock presence. I am the Gen X parent of an undergrad who also works with undergrads and I am devastated that the kids are so deeply not alright. Most of these freaks have Boomer parents whose own disturbed behavior normalized depravity and led to this disaster. If the human race survives another generation it will be a miracle.

Most of the Gen Z kids you know have Boomer parents?

Agree that seems odd. I am a very young boomer, had kids in my 30s and they are both millennials. I have a few friends with Gen Z kids but not many - unless they are men with younger wives.

Both myself and my wife are boomers first marriage we have a 21,19 and 14 year old. Pretty normal

What?? That is not normal. My mom was a young Boomer (1957) and I am 41. So even if you were born around the time of my mom, you are really really old to have kids those ages. Even the youngest boomers are 60.

Okay, but your mother had you when she was like 20, which is super young to have a kid. So your viewpoint may be a bit skewed as well. I'm only a couple of years older than you and my mother is an old Boomer (1946).

She was 23 and married. Not really that unusual back then. I was 26 and married when I had my first. People who have lived in DC too long have skewed perceptions of matneral ages at birth.

Nice try, but I don’t live in DC.

Well then you should know it was stranger in the late 70’s for your mom to have you in her mid 30’s than it was for my mom to have me at 23.
