ppl really like to put out their personal business on here and then get angry lol
I really hate the whole generational war.
Iāve meet people in my gen (X) and before that are entitled cry babies and I work with an intern that just turned 21 that has an amazing work ethic and is extremely polite.
There are jerks and good people in all generations. The only big differences we have is what we have experienced.

as a gen xer, idgaf about some poll
and i love my zoomer kids. they will change the world and i am proud of them. love my millenial buddies too.
Every generation thinks that the one before is full of calcified idiots, and that the one following is full of feckless layabouts. This goes back ā¦ as far as we have written records, so far as I know.
I donāt like it much either, nor do I think it useful or helpful, but we do appear to be stuck with it.

Please, plebeian, I was there when our robot Void Lord Outer God hit Build All on the Azeroth simulator and unfortunately in that moment spilled Orange Soda on the machine creating Vulperas and Mechagnomes

I was there before Gus. The universe had no form. It was just binary digits and people playing Tron.
But you two had to show up and steal the master disk and invade Earth. Iām onto you!

Blame the news.
If they werenāt telling stories on how āMillennialsā were ruining everything from beer to cars because their tastes were different from the older generations, the news was just reporting to the older Baby Boomer generation how things were awful for them because the younger generations were ākillingā what they liked.
And Gen Xers were just overlooked because weāre to busy hanging out at the mall just chillinā.

Donāt worry old timer, there are plenty of baby boomers out there relying on their children to support them, so it all evens out.

Excuse me, but I will inherit nothing from my boomer parents because they have nothing and didnāt plan well for retirement, and if I had anything extra to my name that wasnāt going toward my own retirement funding (so my own children donāt have to support me), my parents would be taking from me. And I gave way more of my time, my love and my money to my children than my own parents ever gave to me.
My mother-in-law (who is on the cusp of the Silent Generation and the Boomer) is now feeling entitled to our money because she and my FIL didnāt plan well and she has nothing now that heās gone, and with him, his Social Security check.
There is some discrepancy in what year Xāers became Millennials. Iāve seen people say anywhere from 1980 to 1983. And, in the end, these labels mean nothing.
I know Xāers who act like Boomers and Boomers who act like gen-z. The entirety gen-x is kind split between generations when it comes to how they act/think/feel ā¦ And those born in the late 70ās early 80ās typically have a bit of Boom and Mill in them.
I was born and '83 and hardly EVER identify with a Millennial. I think they typically act like spoiled little brats. Thatās not to say that I will judge you by the year your born. But It never surprises me when a millennial acts like they are still in highschool. This is not to say I never do childish things. We all do to some degree or another. But I always get caught of guard when X, or older, does it.
I donāt think it works this way; itās a generalization, the years mean everything. If youāre '83 and you donāt act like a Millenial it doesnāt mean you get to self-classify as Gen X. That will screw up your parents categorization. Instead, you are proof the model is about as true as astrology, and that people read it they way they want to. Not really an exact science.
Nope, you canāt have Boomers becoming Xāers in 1980 to 1983. MY identification has been GenX from 1965 to 1980. Which basically fits Wikipedia and most sources.
How do we account for this much error on a standard people can read all day long and still canāt adhere to accurately? Easy. Itās not very accurate.

It was something used for marketing purposes, but somehow people started using it to try to explain behavior and it all went downhill

I agree. I donāt tell people Iām gen-x. I donāt tell people Iām gen-anything. I said I donāt identify WITH millennials ā¦ not AS a millennial. As-in, I feel I have more in common with 1 group over the other. Not that I am 1 group or the other.
I agree. The thing is most people want hard and fast numbers. And since no1 can hard agree on these numbers then thereās always arguments over it. In the end I donāt rly care who was born when and the naming of generations only causes more problems than it solves. But this is the world we live in.

Boomers ended in 1964, Xāers started in 1965 and ends in 1980.
