Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@hajni

Ha! Fair point, I was just thinking of leaders of global blocs. Antonio Costa is also a boomer.

@thordis@theforkiverse.com I'm still confused as to what these words actually mean, I think I've been called 3 out of those? Also been called "weird youth" by a person 1 year younger than me, so there's that I guess.

[papush_@outerheaven.club]

@thordis none of this because "generations" are just a meme humans don't have a global fixed mating season or any such thing

[reggiehere@mastodon.social]

@nartagnan

It was Gen Y afaik, followed by Gen Z(oomer).

Not sure why it changed, maybe a millennium thing?

@thordis

[gavin57@toot.wales]

@thordis GenX/Millennial Cusper. The Oregon Trail generation as it is sometimes called. Also Xennial, apparently.

[infrapink@mastodon.ie]

@thordis

Xennial here. I seem to have been one of the first millennials to be born, and have more in common with the tail end of Generation X than with Zillennials.

[purplerabbit@goo.dgirl.gay]

@thordis Zoomer here

[kycm_ancy@fandom.ink]

@thordis I'm a zoomer but I grew up in the early 2000s so I kinda relate to millennials lmao

[fasgadh@mastodon.scot]

@thordis
Discrete generations is utter nonsense on a par with astrology. Human reproduction is continuous.

I am not a cicada

[purplerabbit@goo.dgirl.gay]

@thordis @normjess yeah, that's my circles, personally, and I can confirm indeed.

@thordis

Generation Jones reporting in.

@thordis
I believe such divisions of people merely by decade was a tool for western Advertising agencies. It stereotypes people, devalues them and ignores the many differences between people even in the same culture and "class". It's dishonest and misleading.

[datterich@darmstadt.social]

@catsalad @thordis @IanAMartin And Gen Y? Is that some abbreviation of Generation Why?

[scyzoryk@mastodon.online]

@thordis I'm here for the Gen X'ers. Disappointed to see so many Z's here

[fravul@mastodon.social]

guess you're looking for the term Gen Y oO

[crimsonfall@mas.to]

@thordis

Gen Z here

yes we do exist on the fediverse

[brianrepko@hachyderm.io]

@thordis this is the most seen this Gen Xer has ever felt!

[danielakay@mastodon.cloud]

@thordis sec, gotta google again which gen I am...

[wynke@mendeddrum.org]

@thordis Late Gen X/early Millennial. I remember Chernobyl and Challenger, but wouldn't have if I had been much younger. I get the best and the worst of both worlds in many ways.

[walrus@toot.wales]

@thordis

I think those age groups are a bit silly, as they assume people in the oldest one have no idea how to work a computer, or us any new technology.

But here, we get cats and even more importantly (for some) Spaniels.
