Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@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
@hosford42 if most are around 40 that would make them millennials too

@FuturisticRobert @dfx @thordis @szczurtorebkowy I'm not alone!
@ritual @FuturisticRobert @dfx @thordis @szczurtorebkowy
I identify as Xennial -
@david_kehm @thordis
"Everybody forgets about #GenX" - Hence the X, for unknown, living in the shadow of Boomers -
@thordis I feel like I could put Gen X in the lead just by boosting this to my followers
-
@thordis GenX gets on my nervesssss! Everybody is blaming boomers for everything, but it’s GenX that are the real menaces (I can’t prove it yet)

Yeah I'm a Millennial (Generation Y) born Dec 18th 1983.
LOLz Boomers are only 13%, that's because for Boomers to be able vote on here they would need someone to help them vote becasue it's Tech/the Internet

@thordis this is the Gen X-iest platform I’ve ever been on including in the 80s

@thordis Wanna hear something fun? I don't know which of those is which, including which one I belong in - and apparently I don't want to know, because I've read about it dozens of times & it just won't stick
@jwcph @thordis
"I don't know which of those is which" - that's because the Americans, as usual, came along and made up their own definition of Gen X well after the fact of it being a thing elsewhere in the world (U.K. and Australia at a minimum, perhaps elsewhere as well), which was like 15ish years later than the original phenomenon, and, again as usual,
American Imperialism has been winning. I've seen U.S. articles describe them precisely, but gave them some other, lesser-known name -

@thordis Sometimes I forget Millennials aren't still teenagers.

@xerge @thordis @GinevraCat I thought Gen Z was a much bigger group on here.
I think we are just the loudest.

@olliestudio45 @hosford42 Yep. Most of the people I know on here are 50+, the seniors corner of the internet with everyone who built and maintained it

@thordis Zillenial, technically. Generations don't have that rigid of boundaries IMO. Gonna mark it as gen Z, but, like, elder gen Z

@Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis
That's funny, cos that description is almost word for word the standard description of Gen X, apart from the bit at the end.
But hey, us GenX-ers are used to having our experiences misappropriated - when we're not being completely ignored/forgotten, of course. It's the other main generational cliche about us, apart from our endless snark and weary cynicism.
