Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@syllopsium @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis cool

@Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis It was a good time to be 20, mostly! Everything was mostly not too corporate (well, definitely not the web), and operating systems were very much still wildly experimental.

Plus computing for the average person went from 16 colours, to 256 colours, to true colour and 3D in less than 8 years

I wish this poll had a Xennial option. I find these kinds of tech environments skew towards us as the tech boom began during our adolescence / young adulthood.

I may be a Millennial, but I'm on the cusp. I have a lot in common with young Gen X.

[mdstevens0612@mas.to]

@thordis as a '96 baby... Idk? I answer millenial, I have more in common with millenials, but I am either nearly the youngest a millenial can be or the oldest a gen z could be.

@thordis believe millennial is spelt with up a double n

@thordis
Where is the option "renaissanceist"?

[futzle@old.mermaid.town]

@thordis Something else to know about polls is that if you edit the post to fix the spelling of “millennial”, you will zero out the responses and people will have to vote again.

@alice @normjess @thordis I can't believe it

[mostarr@theforkiverse.com]

@thordis interesting! I'm liking this admixture.

[olliestudio45@theforkiverse.com]

@hosford42 if most are around 40 that would make them millennials too

[catdice@theforkiverse.com]

@thordis I voted Millennial but I consider myself more of a Xennial

[rupertreynolds@hachyderm.io]

@thordis No idea. I don't do pidgeonholes

[goleztrol@mastodon.social]

@ritual @FuturisticRobert @dfx @thordis @szczurtorebkowy

I identify as Xennial

"Everybody forgets about #GenX" - Hence the X, for unknown, living in the shadow of Boomers

[ckohtala@scholar.social]

@vees
I remember a similar poll, maybe a year or two ago, clear majority Gen X

@hajni @thordis We *are* the menaces. We also destroy the evidence. Sleep well, and just forget we were ever in your bedroom.

@thordis
Yeah I'm a Millennial (Generation Y) born Dec 18th 1983.
LOLz Boomers are only 13%, that's because for Boomers to be able vote on here they would need someone to help them vote becasue it's Tech/the Internet

[cthon1c@kolektiva.social]

@thordis this is the Gen X-iest platform I’ve ever been on including in the 80s

[smartmanapps@dotnet.social]

@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

[gwcoffey@mastodon.social]

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