Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

"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

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

@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

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

Xennial

[bumblefish@mastodon.scot]

@olliestudio45 @hosford42 Yep. Most of the people I know on here are 50+, the seniors corner of the internet with everyone who built and maintained it

[keithwm@mastodon.social]

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

[susannedent@mstdn.social]

@thordis born 1958. Loving it here on Mastodon.

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

[tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one]

@thordis how do we know what we are? These names are confusing

[leadegroot@bne.social]

@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 )

[leadegroot@bne.social]

@imalcolm @Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis (i may have misunderstood this post. I assumed it was a general fediverse question, as it got boosted into my feed, but i just noticed it came from a forkiverse post, so, as im not even there, my answer doesn’t count)

[greyknight@noauthority.social]

@thordis i guess if one is a Gen Ifer, they'd pick "other"?

[hordearius@theforkiverse.com]

@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

@Bumblefish all hail the OGs

@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.
