    @darkphoenix @marjolica @thordis i consider myself gen x more than I do a millennial. I'd use the term xenial, if it didn't annoy me so much.

          @quixoticgeek @darkphoenix @marjolica @thordis I've been called* "geriatric millennial" so I naturally identify as gen x out of spite, mostly.

          *not me, but the people born in my year, etc etc.

              @thordis Fediverse DOES have a network of smaller Gen Z servers

              but they tend to be Queer or Furry focused. and occasionally Game Development

              they are also quite insular for valid reasons, and I'm certainly not going to list a bunch so everyone can go bother their users

              but they are with us. you just need to move in the correct circles and they will pop up to make you feel ancient

              @normjess @thordis not just ancient... But woefully underinformed about Trains.

                @thordis I choose boomer, but I could also be genX Depending on where you put the cutoff.

                It's a bit ridiculous calling myself a "boomer" given that I was still in kindergarten when the Beatles broke up and I share none of their growing-up experiences, but marketers love oversimplifying things. 🤷

                @david_megginson @thordis It's strange, I remember being told the Beatles broke up by my father. I can even remember the expression he used!

                  I keep getting surprised when I notice yet another co-cohort or older human. Not that one always can tell, but on previous social media I kept getting the impression that most of the folk I knew were a couple of decades younger.

                      @thordis technically Millennial but actually Xennial.

                      As my friend puts it, we got participation trophies, but knew they were bullshit. 🤣

                          @thordis I don't label people this way.

                          I label people as man, woman, kind, garbage, and human. That's it.

                            That Boomer Biz about '46 to '64 is a #MainscreamMediaMyth and not a genuine sociological cohort.

                                @thordis I voted “Other” because I am a “Xennial”, which sounded like BS the first time I heard about it but seems increasingly relevant as I observe people slightly older and younger than me.

                                  @thordis @Walrus American age groups. They make very little sense outside a whiteish roughly middle class US context.

                                          Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

                                          Could people boozt this? I am so curious.

                                          Are you a:

                                          @thordis it appears the majority of people here have not existed long enough to remember the 1970s

                                          Probably I good thing I guess I dunno
