Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@FuturisticRobert @dfx @thordis @szczurtorebkowy I'm not alone!

@thordis Glad to help! If you haven't found it yet, it's usually on the three-dot menu at bottom right. But everyone uses a different app (I use Pachli) so it might be different on yours.

@thordis This place is mostly gen x. But needs more millennials and gen z. Please stick around.

I'm definitely other. Born almost 18 years after the end of WW II, I have a hard time considering myself part of the Baby boom.

The term "Generation Jones" was coined for people born 1954 -1965, but I'd go for "Generation Clash", because everybody who was there knows that The Clash was the only band that mattered.

@thordis geriatric millennial here, but millennial nonetheless

[permasolarpotter@mastodon.green]

@kevingranade @david_kehm @thordis I find that when I’m around other ppl my same gen, we can relate based on things like movies, bands, things like that. It even happens with strangers who I have little in common with otherwise. I never considered that other ppl don’t have that experience.

@thordis I'm an older Gen X, born just a couple of years into that cohort. I have to watch myself for Boomer tendancies.

@thordis Is there an option "don't know" ? What is gen Z X millenial what...

@thordis

I'm afraid I'm a boomer. 🫣😁

@thordis Xennial here, microgeneration on the cusp of Gen X and Millennials, aka Oregon Trail Generation / Generation Catalano - analog childhood and digital adulthood

[pitrh@mastodon.social]

@thordis born 1963 so according to https://www.beresfordresearch.com/age-range-by-generation/ a late boomer, but in actual cultural context more genx I think

[dfx@techhub.social]

@corpsmoderne @thordis Sorry to hear. I‘m a happy Xennial 😁

[karmalakas@mastodon.social]

@thordis I still have no idea which term is which era and I don't really care 🤷‍♂️

[dfx@techhub.social]

@anselmschueler @thordis Kindergarteners! 😂😎

[dfx@techhub.social]

@hisham_hm @thordis Same!

@thordis just read the comments. looks like I’m not alone :)

[kevingranade@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@PermaSolarPotter @david_kehm @thordis there's a pretty big difference between, "people born at about the same time as you" and "people in a similar stage of life to you" vs "uselessly broad and arbitrary range of birth dates".

Like, people in your cohort at school, people in middle school vs highvschool vs at college vs working are all meaningful distinctions, but "was this person born just before or just after 1980" is meaningless.

@thordis I think I'm a Xennial.
