There aren't a lot of pics of us in those jeans because we didn't have cell phones with cameras. We had to get film developed.

That’s ok. We have the image of your tramp stamp and thong sticking out while acting like a drunken fool seared into our brains.

No you don’t. If you’re so young, you weren’t at any of the good parties.

I was there. You were the butt of the joke. So to speak.

It wasn't a good look - even then.

Oh. So you’re old like us. Then STFU.

So you were an angry drunk, tramp stamp?

No tramp stamp here. No tattoos at all. But I don’t judge people for them.

So a non-judgmental angry drunk? OK....

hate to give it to them but boomers bult the internet.It started with the feds and quickly moved to academia. All in the '70s and '80s. My grandfather and father are both, for real, rocket scientists.

Gen X democratized it tho.

I would run it from 1960 to 1980. I was always told that to be a Boomer you had to have been old enough to be drafted for Vietnam if you were male. So, really, Boomers stop a few years before 1960.

People born in the late 50s and early 60s did not have a lot of the shared experiences that marked boomers.

This. We also had to get through college in four years and get jobs right after college because you'd get kicked off your parents' health insurance the day after graduation or the day after you turned 22. And most of our parents would have laughed in our faces if we'd suggested moving back home after graduation.

Remember 1990s, 2000s and 2010s are three oldies channel on my XM radio.

Gen X gets lost as accomplished zero. I think Gen Z has much more on common with Boomers than the other two groups. ,

Amazon was made by a GenXer.

Social media was invented by Gen Xers.

Not really. Instagram and Facebook were both invented by Millenials. Twitter founder was GenX.

Zuck is a Gen X-er

All this is nonsense, but that's how Tom Brokaw & other mainstream media pundits classify us.

No. Born in 1976 and have never ever considered myself a millennial.

+1.

All of this is arbitrary, I concede, but it makes no sense for PP's list to reduce Gen X to 10 years when every other category is 20 years. Millennials are mostly children of Boomers, and started in the Reagan era, 1981-2.

I am a 1976'er and there's no way I'd consider myself a millenial - not just b/c I don't feel that way or identify, but because I've never seen it on a chart bedesi this one that I am close to being a millenial
