Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

[aeoncypher@lgbtqia.space]

@thordis I'm on the Gen X / Millennial cusp. I marked myself as X, but you could count it as a half point in each.

@hajni @thordis It's true.. We're rascals.

@thordis I can't believe I'm part of a trend of young people (well, relatively)

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@thordis @gwendolenau Gen

[viss@mastodon.social]

@thordis i land in that weird trough in between gen x and millenial so im in a different category depending on whos asking. whats your cutoff year for millenials?

[scottcain@genomic.social]

@NicksWorld @AngelaPreston @thordis Hmm, my kids were born in 1999. I always think of them as GenZ.

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@thordis GenX mentality, but born earlier. Not anybody’s boomer.

[sand@mindly.social]

@thordis Xennial! 1980!

@thordis
Before putting such indecent questions - could you please exhibit a bit more of yourself?

[hydrian@twit.social]

@thordis Another one of the #xennials here.

[prophetscross@mastodon.social]

@thordis I'm not entirely certain what generation I'm meant to be in, because I remember the Pre Google YouTube, life before the iPhone and grew up in the Lol Random, MLG era of memes, but I also had dial up when I was young?

So I like to usually say I'm a Zellenial, Born before 9/11 anyway, can't remember it though

@thordis
Gen Y...

@thordis these marketing terms are confusing as the date ranges vary by country and social class, so plenty of people are lumped into one bucket but don't really belong.

Only if you were born in the middle, in a mainstream western country to average age parents does it even vaguely apply.

For my sins Gen X, whatever that means.

@thordis

I thought I was a late Boomer but according to Harvard Business School (2017):

- Traditionalists, born prior to 1946
- Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964
- Gen X, born between 1965 and 1976
- Millennials, born between 1977 and 1997
- Gen 2020, born after 1997

@thordis I don't hold with this "Gen" bullshit, sorry.

[hisham_hm@mastodon.social]

@thordis voted Gen X, but I'm a Xennial (1980)

[tattie@eldritch.cafe]

@thordis my brother was born in 1980, Gen X. I was born in 1981, Millennial.

@thordis Please define what each category means. I have no idea where I'm supposed to fit.
