re: Which generational category do you fall in?

I identify as a baby boomer

Unfortunately Millennial

I want to change my answer to this

I’m a Gen X. I own two millennial’s and one homelander.

All’s I can say is homelanders are woke AF.

I'm an Elder Millennial

They need to reduce the span of current generations. Life moves too fast these days for me to believe a 36 year old and a 15 year old have any meaningful shared experiences, aside from physical similarities since many are probably parent/child relationships.

I completely agree, I’m only in my mid twenties and I feel like my childhood was closer to that of a 60 year old than that of a current 16 year old. We still played football outside after school every single day in our neighborhood, rode bikes everywhere, and once we got a little older we started riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers all the time. While I was in high school smart phones started coming out but lots of folks still had flip phones and old blackberry's and 3G coverage was pretty much non existent outside of major cities. I certainly feel like we were the last kids to “come of age” without having the constant influence of electronics. Now the only time I see kids outside is when they are walking home from school, it doesn’t matter how nice of a day it is for being outside they’re all stuck indoors.

Millennials: 1982-2002

No. Millennials grew up around the turn of the millennial and experienced 9/11 among other things.

That date range is so wrong.

If you're mid 20s, the iPhone came out early in your high school days. They came out my senior year and everyone had them.

think I qualify as what most people think of as a millennial.

Trying to identify as something you aren't is textbook millennial.

I think your generations ranges are off.

Gen Z, iGen, or Centennials: Born 1996 and later
Millennials or Gen Y: Born 1977 to 1995
Generation X: Born 1965 to 1976
Baby Boomers: Born 1946 to 1964
Traditionalists or Silent Generation: Born 1945 and before

I'd say I was Gen Y before I said Millennial. There's a 20 year gap there, and that's a big difference between kids that grew up watching He-Man vs kids that grew up playing on an iPhone
