    @thordis I am definitely Gen X. Born in 1966. I've seen the format wars: reel to reel tape, vinyl, cassette tape, Laserdisc, VHS and betamax......
    My generation ended up buying some albums and movies 3 times because the technology moved on that often! 👴

      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.
