Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

Generation Jones! (We have been wrongly grouped at the tail end of the Boomers)

Not! ‍️

@quixoticgeek @darkphoenix @marjolica @thordis I've been called* "geriatric millennial" so I naturally identify as gen x out of spite, mostly.

*not me, but the people born in my year, etc etc.

@thordis
Ask #OldPeopleOfMastodon and see how many boomers there are!

[epilonious@toot.lgbt]

@normjess @thordis not just ancient... But woefully underinformed about Trains.

@david_megginson @thordis It's strange, I remember being told the Beatles broke up by my father. I can even remember the expression he used!

@thordis technically Millennial but actually Xennial.

As my friend puts it, we got participation trophies, but knew they were bullshit.

@thordis

This will end up being an age dataset, and as we can already see, the milleniial's are starting to take over from gen-x, so now it's your turn, you make the mistakes and you cop the blame, are you ready - probably not, but you got no choice anyway.

[davetansley@mastodon.world]

@thordis Gen-X here, the most rad generation.

[aoi_x_kaizaki@mastodon.social]

@thordis I don't label people this way.

I label people as man, woman, kind, garbage, and human. That's it.

@thordis

That Boomer Biz about '46 to '64 is a #MainscreamMediaMyth and not a genuine sociological cohort.

Shout out to the old fart brigade!

[glassblowerscat@wandering.shop]

@thordis I voted “Other” because I am a “Xennial”, which sounded like BS the first time I heard about it but seems increasingly relevant as I observe people slightly older and younger than me.

[colman@mastodon.ie]

@thordis @Walrus American age groups. They make very little sense outside a whiteish roughly middle class US context.

[bardmoss@autistics.life]

@thordis
And there are two n's in "millennial"

@bardmoss I'm not a native English speaker but duly noted

[enema_cowboy@dotnet.social]

@thordis Generation Jones.

[msh@coales.co]

@thordis it appears the majority of people here have not existed long enough to remember the 1970s

Probably I good thing I guess I dunno
