    Whatever that weird gap is between the tail-end of the Boomers and the beginning of Gen X.

    I call it "Borderline Boomer" out of respect for myself.

    Ok. I'm trying not to say old.

      Maybe we need a category called denyllenial , they don't want to be anywhere.

        The surest sign of my 13% boomerness is that I always have to look up the other categories... 🙄😁

          @thordis I communicate with a lot of boomers/gen Z here in the Netherlands and Flemish Belgians and I'm one of those myself depending which birth years you handle to be a boomer or Gen Z'er.

                  @tieandjeans @thordis Boomer here with some bad news for you: I played Oregon Trail, too, on a mainframe. A friend of mine who went on to work for MECC later ported it to the Apple ][, and from there to other platforms including the PC.

                    @thordis GenX, not the biggest co-hort, but punching above our weight given how few of us there are in the general population

                          Gen W. Not really a 'boomer' as it was all over by then but before genX came around. The "BTDTGTTS" generation.

                                  I'd love to know more about the micro groups represented in this sample...

                                  I've often found myself philosophically aligned with the x+llenial or "mix tape generation" often represented by the overlap between X/Millennial generations. (The early technology crowd)

                                  I'd guess that's what we're seeing in this survey. Tons of late-X, early-Millennial.

                                    @thordis I figured it was more GenX. Looks like we were both right.

                                        @thordis Born a boomer but raised in seclusion. Escaped in the 80s. So, part of the Huey Lewis and The News generation, I guess.

                                          Hey, buddy. Nice to meet you. Like any conversational idiom, Generation Oregon Trail does not mean "the collection of all people who have every played Oregon Trail."
                                          MECC did great work throughout that period. Love that the mainfraime version still exists.
