[quote=Anonymous]Born in 1978 and married to a 1974 DH since i was 22.  Which tilts my world view more than direction that to the younger generations.

My parents are old boomers - born right after WWII.

All that said, I feel way more in common with millennials than boomers.  Boomers are my parents generation plus their slightly younger friends.  They are a different generation.

I have had a lot of nannies and babysitters from the millennial generation (5-8 years ago - lots of college aged kids, who are now late 20s).  I have way more in common with them and they are more like friends, than my parents generation who are old people that i'm polite too.

The millennials: i can talk about music, podcasts, (some) pop culture stuff, use the same language and vocabulary, talk about dating and hookups without shame (their dating life looks more like mine did 20 years ago; versus my generation's dating life looks nothing like the boomer dating life), we socialized in the same way (hanging with friends, bars, dinners out etc).

I have stuff in common with younger boomers (late 50s) , as i'm really into that era of music and movies too.  But it's definitely "classic" stuff for me, and not my own generation of music/movies.  [/quote]
