If you were born between 1960-1964 do you consider yourself a boomer or generation Xer.

Same. Plus, we were too young for the Vietnam draft, which deeply affected those born before 1956 or so.

This is my feeling. Born 1961 and lean GenX. Can’t relate to Boomer experiences. But I remember their “era”, which was more like my babysitter’s age.

‘63 - they call us echo boomers.

I was born in 1961. My father was 4 when Pearl Harbor was bombed so definitely not a WW2 product! My grandfather was in the Army then though.

I don’t feel like a boomer or Gen X. I do get annoyed with boomer hate though. I don’t have a pension, I am staying in my house because I need the space for WFH, I am getting rid of stuff, I worked at the EPA in the 80s and am not trying to kill the planet, etc.

I was born in 62 and I totally think of myself as GenX. I consider myself a GenX elder. Latch key kid and grown up by 13. Yeah we had our traumas but what didn’t kill you, made you stronger, and pissed off so people tend to leave us alone.

63, Gen Xer. I have more in common with that generation.

Also born in 1960 but father did fight in WWII - combat in Iwa Jima. Parents were also depression era. That doesn’t make me relate to Boomers though. Vietnam and Woodstock were not really part of my life in the way most Boomers experienced them. OTOH, I don’t feel like I relate to Gen X either.

Your aunt is most certainly not a Boomer. Are you basing this on your alternative facts?

My sister was born in 1962 and insists she's not a Boomer, but she totally is.

Yeah, that's the quintessential boomer question. "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?"

I think millennials can be identified with a question like this too. If you were in school or college on 9/11, you’re a millennial. What would it be for Gen X? The Challenger?

Despite what the media would lhave you believe, most generation Xers didn't give a shit about the Challenger.

Um, Gen X person here. I didn't really care about it BEFORE it blew up, but I still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when it did.

Same

1962 Boomer as Gen X are weird. Dual income, outsourcing, non religious with little work ethic and low values.

I was born in 1964 and I definitely consider myself to be a Gen X I have never identified with baby boomers .
