This is why I don't care about Millennials. They will figure the world out for themselves.

Kids born between 75 and 85 should have their own group. Millennials should be 86-99. X 61-85.
Anything over a decade is wishy washy. Older millennials are unfortunately lumped in with the younger ones who are very different.

I don't really agree with the dates either. Someone born in 1983 grew up more like a kid born in 1976 than 1994.

I’ve always felt millennial should begin in 80 not 81. Not sure what difference a year makes.

My little sister was born in 1980 and is more X than millennial but she had nothing but older siblings which I'm sure contributed to it some.

Boomers are some entitled pricks.
Generation X (or Gen X) is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers and preceding the Millennials. ... Some of the cultural influences on Gen X youth were the musical genres of grunge and hip hop music, and independent films. In midlife, research describes them as active, happy, and achieving a work–life balance.

Im starting to wonder why the recent trend to vilify the baby boomer generation. My parents are boomers and they are awesome.

Meanwhile, Gen Xers unplug their fat arse Boomer siblings from life support daily without remorse. Then they sell all the departed’s belongings in estate sales and buy guns and ammo which they bury in their back yards.
When crunch day comes Gen X will rule the world.

Mine are too and are both good people. They are just the last generation that grew up in the old America with a manufacturing base. Globalization killed that.

Gen X is by far the gayest generation.
The shittiest opinions on the internet come from GenXers who try to fit in with the millennial crowd

Millenials and boomers are a lot alike. They’re entitled and selfish and feel the need for attention constantly. I think gen Z will be a lot like Gen X

I make an effort to not fit in with the millennial crowd. Posted on 12/14/19 at 1:06 pm to RogerTheShrubber
Gen X was a good combo of growing up in a safe America without political correctness and emerging technology. They had video games but kids still mostly played outside and roamed the neighborhood. Malls and arcades were popular. A very social generation. Wish I had grown up then.
The idea of walking up to a girl you didn’t know at a mall and asking for her number, calling her house on a landline and her dad answering and having to ask for her, setting up a date and then showing up to the date and trusting she would be there and not stand you up, with no way to contact her once you left home, would cause most Millenials to have an aneurism

People have become flakier and flakier in the last couple of decades. Back then, if you made plans, then goddammit, you were showing up. Cancelling plans was seen as the exception and not the norm.

I think millennials are satisfied with just exchanging nudes.

Generation Y was millennial before someone invented the term, millennial
I said this months ago and got blasted. You're correct though. I remember my age group being Gen Y and then millenial term came along and it seems they finagled the years to broaden the millenials.

Odd how the Boomers, as a whole, seem to feel the need to downgrade the generations that came before them, as they did to the Greatest and Silent generations in the 60's, and those that came after them like Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z, from the 90's up until the present.
I wonder why a generation would feel the need to do this to those who came before and followed after them. Maybe they are projecting?
I think that the Boomers genuinely fear the size of the Millennial generation and the fact that they will be the first generation who can successfully define the Boomers for who they truly are as a generation. We Gen X'ers tried, we were just too small of a group to make it stick.
Well of course. They're boomers after all. They're an obstruction and drain on society.

Uh no. People born in 1996 and after are too young to be Millennials. 61-64 are boomers.
