        @thordis Very strong inner boomer though, if that counts for anything.

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

                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"?

                      @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... 🙂 https://tech.lgbt/@Natasha_Jay/115805631400954279

                          @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.

                                Year 1 gen-x, 1965 which makes me 60 years old until summer!

                                Fuck the boomers, they're aging poorly.

                                      @thordis I really don't like these useless titles given to each generation. It's glorified marketing and the data is pointless, considering we're all human. Oh well, marketing ganna Market. Investors ganna invest. Just my 2 cents.

                                        @thordis @gdinwiddie why are Boomers and Gen Alpha in the same option? Feels like "oh, and I guess we shoukd include forget the outliers".

                                          Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

                                          Why would boomers be lumped in with generation alpha? There's a huge gap between us!

                                          I already feel weird enough being one of the few early adopters, extreme leftists, and technophiles of my generation. Now I'm being lumped in with 15-year-olds?
