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

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.

There really is no defining question like this for Xers. I think it's if they can remember the Reagan/Carter election.

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.

Anyone who was in HS in the 80's is definitely an Xer.


Unless you were in high school in the ‘70s and the ‘80s.

Yes there is. Where were you when you found out Kurt Cobain was dead? I bet a lot of my fellow Gen Xers would agree.

If you wanted a Thriller jacket as badly as I did, you are definitely Gen X. Plus, shoulder pads.

Only if you were white.

I absolutely remember when it blew up. We weren't following it beforehand, but it was a big deal when it blew up.

Right, I said "A LOT," not "ALL."

That's an we're too. Certainly not a boomer. People who were in high school post sexual revolution really do not belong in the same generation as those who were in HS pre sexual revolution.

I would put the Berlin Wall coming down ahead of that.

Yeah, I remember where I was when the Challenger exploded and when hearing Kurt Chobani died, but these things were not as big of a deal to us as the JFK assanation seemed to be to people in the 60's. I certainly don't remember seeing anyone cry about it. On the news maybe, but not in real life.

Absolutely. I would say the fall of communism was a really big deal. Especially since it all seemed to happen in the span of a few months.

Generation Xers don't go around asking each other where they were when Kurt Chobani died.
