Is your doctor aware of your alcohol consumption in case it interferes with your geriatric meds?

I'm like a Millennial Elder I guess.

Born in 1961 and really don't think of myself as a baby boomer. Hell, when I was going into first grade (didn't have kindergarten at my school), some of the first baby boomers were graduating high school.

Yeah, he said don't drink when I use Viagra, but your mom always insists I have a few Sazeracs before the action.

So you are trans-millenial then. Careful throwing stones in that glass house.

If they want to do a lot things, are robotic and need much hand holding in the workforce, they are millenial.

To all the people saying "I don't identify as [generation]"

It doesn't make a shite what you want or not. If that's the year it's set at then that's what you are

You´re not a boomer. The early 60´s born are different.

And none of those years are set in stone, either.

Wife was born in '81 and her sister was born in '84. I would say the generation line falls between the two, regarding X vs millennials.

I was born in December '63, graduated HS in '82... Always considered myself a Gen Xer... My father was too young to fight in WWII... He graduated HS in 1953....

You were the Seniors in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Definitely Gen X.

I was born in 82. Technically I'm a millenial, but I don't identify as such.

There are a lot of factors, but I think '84-'85 is a more appropriate cut off. I was born in '79, wife in '82. We both had a very X upbringing. We can easily recognize the difference in people 5 years our junior. Also, we were the babies of our respective families. Our older siblings tended to have our life experience skewed a bit older. (Music, tv, ideology...etc)

I love how you frickers think you can pick your generation based on how you "feel". This is a very millenial thing to do.

Y'all better not make fun of the gender confused people who want to choose.

Yeah, and if it was still called Gen Y instead of "millenial" most people wouldn't mind as much. Millenial is such an awful sounding label.

Mostly because generations are judged not by the hard/fast date they are born on, but the behaviors they exhibit and the shared influences they had through the years. It has very little in common with being born with a particular set of genitals.
