Early Gen X. Just gotta say, the term.baby boomer was tossed around when I was younger but I never heard the term generation X until the 90's, maybe late 90's.
Hello fellow kid. I remember Pepsi Generation and MTV Generation. But you're right, Gen X didn't start in earnest until the 90s, I'm pretty sure.
Fun fact, Generation X originally applied to Boomers.
Gen Z reporting for duty
Solidly millennial.
Gen Z, reading the thread I now understand why this platform has an allergy to edgey memes, sarcasm and shitposting not denoted with a /s.
Boomer!
Sooner!
millennial
Generation Tamagotchi
gen Z but i feel a lot more like a millenial
landslide
The older, but not the oldest one... Gen-X.
Z gang
Some websites say I'm a Gen Z while others say I'm a millennial. So a bit of both
Gen Z.
This place is a lot older than I expected.
Internet generation, progenitors of current online brainrot. Came too early to experience the 90s in all its glory, and too late for running console-quality games on a 6mm thick mobile device.
At least we have the 2010s to claim for ourselves. Those were pretty cool.
I was born in 1995, people are split on whether that's millennial or gen Z. I guess I'll round up and go gen Z. I have siblings born in the early '80s though so I watched a lot of older TV/movies and used a few late '80s to early '90s toys, games, and electronics.
I'd be cautious that behavior, common experienced events, technology shifts, etc define categories and not the other way around. If the boundaries for generations are arbitrary then inclusion is just as arbitrary and not defined by behavior since behaviors can spread across multiple labels. We all want to belong, but tribalism can be a useful tool to divide humanity against itself. Historic generation labels where distinct boundaries can be observed and defined in an historic context makes sense to me, contemporary generational labels seem like divisive nonsense to me.
Zillenial or younger millenial
I've also heard cusp millennia, but I'm not 100% sure which boundary they're meant to be on. I think it's the younger one
Early millennial. Depped into the Navy about 5 months after 9/11.
Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can't afford a house, so I'm hitting the stereotypes
apparently my high school epitomed the Xer slacker stereotype for the middle of it.. They have these signs along the fence listing accolades and awards for different teams and clubs. There is this gap that goes between the late seventies and the early nineties. Outside of that there is something for like every year. Then I know for my year there was a half hearted attempt at a 25yr reunion I think from pressure from administration to some of the folks who had been student council or such. Anyway it imploded likely cause folks like me said they would not go.
A big tech transition generation.
X.
I was born in 2001, what does that make me?
