Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@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.

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

Correction is not criticism. Thank you for noting. Also note that you can edit posts, if you didn't already know. My apologies if the tone you are reading this in was not the tone in which it was written.

I feel like I'm part of an old-fashioned chain letter.

Generation Jones (1954 to 1965) ...
the forgotten middle child.

@thordis Voted millenial but technically a 'cusper', 1980

@thordis Glad to help! If you haven't found it yet, it's usually on the three-dot menu at bottom right. But everyone uses a different app (I use Pachli) so it might be different on yours.

@thordis This place is mostly gen x. But needs more millennials and gen z. Please stick around.

@thordis

I'm definitely other. Born almost 18 years after the end of WW II, I have a hard time considering myself part of the Baby boom.

The term "Generation Jones" was coined for people born 1954 -1965, but I'd go for "Generation Clash", because everybody who was there knows that The Clash was the only band that mattered.

@thordis geriatric millennial here, but millennial nonetheless
