Yup. Technically, since you’re born in the ‘70s you’re GenX … but we don’t want to claim you as our own.

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.

Amazon is not an invention neither is Twitter or Google. They all already existed.

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.

Definitely true for the housewife types.

I used to be insulted when a younger called me a boomer (I’m not a boomer…), now I think it’s hilarious. It’s burn that snuffs itself out. I don’t get offend, the jab doesn’t hit. Next.

Not universally agreed upon, but:

Greatest Generation 1901 - 1927
Silent generation 1928-1945
Boomers 1945 - 1964
GenX 1965 - 1980
Millennial 1981 - 1996
GenZ 1997 - 2012.
Generation Alpha* 2013 - ??

*Not sure if Generation Alpha is going to stick. Looking at the Wikipedia on these things was the first time I'd encountered that designation.

Might as well get the age ranges in here as well. With those dates, as of 2021, the age ranges for the generations would be

Greatest Generation: 94 to Dead
Silent Generation: 76 to 93
Boomers: 57 to 75
GenX: 41 to 56
Millennial: 25 to 40
GenZ: 9 - 24
Gen Alpha: 0 - 8.

I agree with this. Someone who is 56 has one foot in boomer and one in gen x. Same for anyone on the borderline. I see this in their ideas and behavior.

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

It’s a huge group of people. Not all of them use FB. In fact many hate it.

I’m not going to quote and make more blue but in 1955 it was normal to start a family at age 20. It wasn’t until the 80s that the maternal age creep began. By the 90s in cities it was 30. Not 20 to start a family.

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.

Xennials re just old millennials who don't want to be considered millennials, so they try to glom onto Gen X.
