Boomers were born in 1945-1965.

Millennials were born in 1981-1996.

My parents were born in 1955 and I was born in 1986. So dead-center Boomers and an older millennial.

So, yes.

Only sort of. Not entirely.

It’s largely accurate though. I’m gen x and too young to have a millennial child. As are most of my peers. Our kids range 5 to mid twenties with most being more later teens.

It’s not really accurate. The second half of the Boomer generation gave birth to most millennials.

We are saying exactly the same thing.

If you define someone born exactly in the middle of the Boomer generation as a “young Boomer,” then sure.

I don’t identify with folks born mid 60s even though we’re technically the same generation. So the placement within a generation does matter.

But the point is boomer v millennial is parents vs offspring. But we imagine people much older and doddering/selfish or much younger and inexperienced/self indulgent when generalizing. And neither is accurate.

I mean, someone born in 1965 is the youngest Boomer, and yet is 56 years old. That’s fairly old.

Younger than most of Congress, sonny.

I guess imagine someone more like Mr. Burns when blaming an entire generation.

FWIW Mitch McConnell is 78. I’d look more to his peers as the issue.

That’s because most of Congress is ancient.

McConnell is silent generation. It is these folks and the oldest boomers that have screwed us up.

Lol never worked for anything? 9/11 happened when we were in high school. We have been through a housing crash and 2 recessions, and now, when we should be starting to really advance in our careers in our 30s there is a global pandemic, and our kids can’t even go to school. So...: yeah. That’s how it’s going for our generation.

GenX here. Uh... Where do you think I was and am?

I think you probably graduated college and got a job at the height of our country's boom job market and got in at least a few years of employment before 9/11 hit.

I graduated in 1991. The early 1990s recession. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1990s_recession_in_the_United_States

TBH it seems like millennials care more about this generation stuff. It just wasn’t named in Gen X. We just side eyed everyone, or mostly didn’t bother because we were trying to function and pay rent. It’s all a bit nitpicky.

I go with the theory that Gen X hates those that came after them (Millennials). Meanwhile, Zoomers are the progeny of Gen X are beloved by them.

Zoomers are not much different from younger Millennials. Zoomers are all over social media - TikTok, YouTube, etc.

Millennials don’t give a shit. Boomers just can’t shut up about us.

That’s nice. The Great Recession was much worse.
