Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

[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.

@Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis how are we lucky?

You should read my writing!

@sloanlance @david_kehm @thordis it's been a while since I heard that one

@thordis Pre-boomer?...four score and more.

[hosford42@techhub.social]

@Bumblefish @thordis Yeah I was surprised to hear of someone thinking it was mostly millennials here. The polls I've seen before had most people here around ~40 yo. Of course, that's probably a biased sample because of the whole "birds of a feather" thing

[qfennessy@theforkiverse.com]

@thordis I was born too soon to be millennial

[artharg@mastodon.nl]

@Colman @thordis Marketing segments? They are sociological cohorts.

[hosford42@techhub.social]

@ReggieHere

And all of that reversed while I went from born to adult, thanks to bullshit "trickle down" economics. (Don't ask what is trickling. It isn't money.)

I guess I’m a millennial. an older millennial. I remember growing up without the internet and playing outside.

@thordis instead of „boomer“ I prefer „analog native“. 🤓

@NicksWorld yet another reason to party like it's 1999 every year 💁🏼‍♀️
