Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@Tattie @thordis @szczurtorebkowy Both Xennials. (As am I)

I prefer “Oregon trail generation”, but that just redirects to the link below.

@thordis @Taotica I have absolute no clue what those categories mean and I’m so not interested to google it 😂

Which makes me … what category?

[tanghus@freeradical.zone]

@Bumblefish @olliestudio45 @hosford42 Yeah, other polls I've seen was mostly boomers and GenX. Early GenXer myself.
But it's good with a new influx of millennials :)

[ra1n@social.freedombits.org]

@thordis gen z

[mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org]

@thordis more GenX really, but yes, Millennials are almost as many

[tanghus@freeradical.zone]

@mndflayr @thordis @leffe It's a feature very much missing in Mastodon. I don't know why they haven't implemented it.
Does forkiverse.com run a fork of Mastodon, or where does the name come from?

@jwcph
Also: If you were Gen-X you would _feel_ forgotten and not have forgotten that you are Gen-X 😂

@thordis Officially Boomer, but probably a better fit for Gen X.

[reggiehere@mastodon.social]

@hosford42

Yes, I experienced similar. A massive reversal that's left the majority much worse off than they were.

@thordis I am not a generation. I am a free man. (Mid 1950's)

[jetlagjen@gts.phillipsuk.org]

@hosford42 @Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis this encapsulates what I consider the defining feature of us xennials.

It's not as simple as technology - I spent large amounts of my single digit childhood on a 48k Spectrum, while many of my peers barely touched a computer until late teens.

It's more about us living on the edge of a cliff. We are the tipping point between GenX who could reliably do the career-house-kids-stability thing, and Millennials who had that future ripped from them. Whether any individual of us managed to cling onto the cliff is largely due to chance.

[tattie@eldritch.cafe]

@jpsays "actually I define myself as" is such a quintessentially Millennial attitude, tho. 🤭
@thordis @szczurtorebkowy

[viktortheboar@retro.pizza]

@thordis I was born about a month before 1980 so technically genx but idk

[blizzz@layer8.space]

@thordis my zodiac is Millenial and I don't understand the fuzz about it.

[nicholosophy@mastodon.au]

@thordis voting Gen X, but consider myself Xenial

[noahloren@exquisite.social]

I don't know.

[gnoll110@ruby.social]
