Which generational category do you fall in?

I know there's a wide range of ages among TD posters. Check in with what category you fall in.
Traditionalists: 1925-1942
Baby Boomers: 1943-1960
Generation X: 1961-1981
Millennials: 1982-2002
Homelanders: 2003-Present
Millennial here.
To any Homelanders reading: Don't out yourself. And stop browsing TD in class.
ETA: The attributes of Homelanders
- Digital. Cannot remember a screen that was not interactive.
- Safety conscious and cautious
- More globally conscious than previous generations
- Highly attentive to conservation
- Independent and self-reliant
- Realistic
I don't know that I agree with any of those based on people I have encountered that were born after 2003.

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.

Me either. Looking at some presentation at work and that's on there. I guess they have to go in some category.

I don’t give a shite, that’s my generation.
Can’t wait to see the argument between boomers and millenials.

Nor had I, so I looked it up.

Why Homeland Generation?
This name was actually chosen by readers of our books. We conducted an online contest in 2006 to name the generation coming after the Millennials. Several different names were suggested and voted on. Homeland Generation became the ultimate winner, apparently because the decade of the 2000s was marked by 9/11, the War on Terror, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, and a sense that the “homeland” was no longer safe. Readers also sensed a worldwide cultural movement towards nationalism, localism, and an increased identification with one’s roots. The word also fits since this generation of children is literally kept more at “home” than any earlier generation of kids, thanks to the protective, hands-on child-raising style of Gen-X parents.
From Forbes.

I added the source in the OP. I know there are a ton of different ranges out there. This is just the one I came across at work today.

I’m so fricking sick of the generation threads and arguments.

Depends on where you look for the dates of each cohort.
Some sources say Millennials start as early as 1977, but most have it around 1980.
There is even a small, overlapping cohort they are calling Xennials from 1977-1983, with which I agree. As a lot of those early 80s kids have a lot in common with Generation X.
