well yeah, zoomers start in 97.

if you are born between 86-94, you are a prime millennial. No claim to the silly xennial term.

How often do these self fellating generation posts need to happen. We get it this generation is better than the upcoming ones or the previous ones. Cool

You’re middle aged like most of this site, cool. Generations matter culturally to some degree but who gives an actual shite. You live life everyday, you’re no better or worse for being part of a generation. Make shite happen for yourself

Nah, it really depends on your socioeconomic status during that time period.

I grew up with younger "Gen-Xer" siblings (that were graduating HS around 96). We were poor (both of our boomer parents were divorced previously) and all we ever had was hand me downs from the older siblings. As technology increased, we were sort of left behind in our own little bubble.

Also helps when you grow up in a backwards area (i.e. Chalmette)



That's what's dumb about generation names...it really depends on SEVERAL things that aren't taken into account

Gen X here and yes I do think we are the most interesting, dynamic generation. We had it all. Born in the 70’s Grew up in The 80’s Partied in the 90’s

I don’t care to argue about all this right now, but the 80s were an awesome time to be a teen.

The vast majority of millennials were born and raised by boomers.

I'm an early gen x (1969) but my parents weren't boomers, they were silent gen.

Calling someone born in '82 a millenial is crazy to me.


'82 is considered a Xennial.

I know this because that's my vintage.

Gen z polls 7% more conservative than millennials.

You guys raised some fricked up kids, won't admit it and then try to blame it on another generation.

Ah, the older millennials, myself, are drastically different than the younger ones. If you were born in the 80s you have a decent chance of being squared away. After that it becomes a crap shoot.

We don't give a frick. That's our thing. "Nobody cares, work harder. Stop your whining bitch." Thats why we're more resilient than most.

I must have missed the vocabulary section of the LSAT… and no, they didn’t
