Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@thordis Wanna hear something fun? I don't know which of those is which, including which one I belong in - and apparently I don't want to know, because I've read about it dozens of times & it just won't stick
@jwcph @thordis
"I don't know which of those is which" - that's because the Americans, as usual, came along and made up their own definition of Gen X well after the fact of it being a thing elsewhere in the world (U.K. and Australia at a minimum, perhaps elsewhere as well), which was like 15ish years later than the original phenomenon, and, again as usual,
American Imperialism has been winning. I've seen U.S. articles describe them precisely, but gave them some other, lesser-known name -

@thordis Sometimes I forget Millennials aren't still teenagers.

@xerge @thordis @GinevraCat I thought Gen Z was a much bigger group on here.
I think we are just the loudest.

@hosford42 if most are around 40 that would make them millennials too
@olliestudio45 @hosford42 Yep. Most of the people I know on here are 50+, the seniors corner of the internet with everyone who built and maintained it

Are you a:
@thordis Zillenial, technically. Generations don't have that rigid of boundaries IMO. Gonna mark it as gen Z, but, like, elder gen Z

@Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis
That's funny, cos that description is almost word for word the standard description of Gen X, apart from the bit at the end.
But hey, us GenX-ers are used to having our experiences misappropriated - when we're not being completely ignored/forgotten, of course. It's the other main generational cliche about us, apart from our endless snark and weary cynicism.
️@imalcolm @Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis exactly! Im a very early gen Xer and ive worked in IT since before i finished uni. No idea where this concept comes from (ie i know plenty of people from every generation who have no idea how to fully use their tech
) -

@thordis i guess if one is a Gen Ifer, they'd pick "other"?

Are you a:
@thordis - I have it on good authority (@Natasha_Jay) that this is where "elder millennials, Gen Xers and boomers come to retire from the Internet" Well, if the shoe fits...

Are you a:
@thordis I honestly have very little idea what ranges of years these labels represent, and I'm not sure that stereotyping people is a meaningful or good practice in general. But I looked up what wikipedia suggested and put that in.

@Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis I don't feel lucky. I feel like I'm watching all my hopes and dreams be torn down for good, just as they were about to finally be within reach. The stuff I worked toward my whole life... I worked toward it for nothing. All the angst, trying to be good enough for my parents and then my children, only to find out it was pointless because it doesn't matter what I do or did. The world has turned to a giant dumpster fire, and I don't know how we will ever climb out of it.
@hosford42 @Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis Well, looks it's time to be try see the things more optimistic way, man. Or at least sarcastic
