Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@thordis
I don't speak imperial. Please use metric years or decades.

[rubyjones@wandering.shop]

@thordis I expected slightly more Gen X, tbh. (I am an older Millennial.)

[chrishas35@hachyderm.io]

@tieandjeans @thordis love this title for us

[cubeofcheese@mstdn.social]

@thordis I need more Gen Z fediverse mutuals 😭

[mosugerman@sciences.social]

@Bumblefish @thordis Agreed. Late boomer / early gen-x here. Right on the cusp.

[xchaos@f.cz]

@thordis Gen Y is obviously lost generation, in your poll

[futuristicrobert@infosec.exchange]

@thordis Xenniel here. Not quite Gen X. Not quite Millennial.

[karhutar@mastodon.social]

@thordis age brackets would be more useful, I don’t know what these precisely mean

[futuristicrobert@infosec.exchange]

@dfx @thordis @szczurtorebkowy

Xenniels unite!

[judebuffum@mastodon.social]

@linuxandyarn @thordis GO PHILS

[judebuffum@mastodon.social]

@thordis so my takeaway is that everyone here was born Gen X, but identifies as a millennial 😂

[earthworm@kolektiva.social]

@thordis

I don't know how this generation thing works...

[richardtroupe@mastodon.ie]

@thordis I was born in 1986, so I'm firmly a millennial.

[mcpinson@mas.to]

@thordis
I had to look up a reference.

1963 here, so, technically Boomer.
I remember the Apollo 8 Christmas Eve broadcast; too young for Woodstock; so I've always felt I aligned more with Gen-X.

@thordis

Seriously, no worries! (Oh god, I've become one of those assholes on Mastodon who does drive-by scolding! 😟)

Really, I just wanted to see how many of my "between Boomer and Gen-X" cohort would identify with that description.

[utopiarte@tupambae.org]

@futurebird

Not even sure about in which decade what generation was born, what makes me a late stage boomer ..

@thordis

[naturemc@mastodon.online]

@thordis Hope you reach very different bubbles!

[anselmschueler@ieji.de]

@thordis 2004 is my birth year

[kimlockhartga@beige.party]

@thordis I'm in that weird Gen Jones group, not really Boomers, closer to Gen X, so that's what I chose.

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@karhutar @thordis It's weird I get just lumped into this big GenX thing too. GenX includes like 15 years of births. I'm low-mid 70's and I didn't exactly hang out a bunch with the late 60's kids. Not that I didn't really want to, but they wouldn't. So we don't actually share a lot in common. I like Def Leopard and Foreigner OK but I'm actually more into Slayer. They witnessed and remember more of Carter and Reagan than I did and do. Actually experienced the 80's while I'm more 90's.
