[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born in 1983. I feel very disconnected from Gen X (I haven't even seen reality bites), [b]and I wore skinny jeans, ballet flats, and a tunic-length shirt for much of my 20s and a good amount of my thirties[/b]. I also graduated right at the beginning of the great recession, putting me at a huge and long-lasting career disadvantage.

I don't really care that much but if I had to choose between Gen X and millennial I pick millennial. [/quote]

Very Generation X'er.[/quote]

Gen X here, born 1970 and this sounds totally millennial to me. Didn't get a pair of skinny jeans until my thirties. We were def. not rocking skinny jeans in the 90s.

I feel like if you did not live through the 70s at all, you can't be Gen X.

That's my controversial opinion and I stand by it.

Your childhood has to be defined somewhat by serial killers, the Jim Jones cult, shows like One Day at a Time, Facts of Life, Different Strokes, staying up late to watch Fantasy Island, seeing Star Wars in the theater, knowing what it means when you hear "Mikey likes it," watching your mom drink Tab or Fresca, knowing where you were when Reagan was shot, watching the Challenger explode on TV  . . . AT SCHOOL.

I mean, if you were three when the Challenger exploded, you're not Gen-X.[/quote]
