Kinda youngish Boomer; 67 y.o.
Xenial
older millennial
Xennial. I'm X depending upon which number you use as the cutoff (the '80 definition vs '82 definition)
Gen Z.
Don't care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.
Somewhat elder millennial.
Millenial
Gen X. The generation that couldn't be arsed to programme the video recorder or cooker digital time-clock, but knew how to.
There were a lot of power cuts in our (UK) youth and we remember saying to ourselves, "Ok, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?!". Still kicking arse and taking names.
We were the grown-up's TV remote control, with our 1200 bits per second magnetic tape storage for (ARM) BBC B home computers, before we got 5" floppy disks.
Tech doesn't phase us (yet); AI is a better average conversation than a spouse.
Millennial, the one that ruined everything.
Gen X / Xennial, analog childhood, digital adult hood.
I'm born in 98' so I'm right down the middle but generally classed as the last of the millennials.
I feel a lot closer to zoomers, but where I'm from, I think the people who have fast-tracked adulthood with kids and mortgages are textbook millennials where as layabouts like myself share a lot more spaces with young adult zoomers.
Boomer. We were looksmaxxing before it was cool in Ohio, fr fr, no cap.
I'm right at the edge of still being a millennial I think...
I don't wanna be gen z... pls
Elder millennial
I'm from generation "Get those damn kids off my lawn!"
Gen X
I consider myself an older millennial as people born until the late 90โs are still considered millennials.
Well I have kids your age, so a literal generation gap? Yes.
I think Lemmy has age diversity, more so than other platforms.

This separation into "generations" is such bullshit. It's just another way to divide the haves from the have-nots. If you blindly believe that generations define you, you're the problem. You're making it easy to be controlled and find another person to concentrate on while your rights, your liberties, your opportunities, and your privacy get slowly taken away from you.
End of Millennial or first of Gen-Z, although I feel a lot more like Gen-Z.
I'm on the older end of millenial.
Solidly millennial.
