      FYI: The correct spelling is "millennial", not "millenial". You've left out one of the "n".

        @marjolica @thordis there's no one definitive definition. I've also seen

        1946-1964 - baby boomers
        1965-1984 - gen x
        1985-2005 - millennials

        Etc... as that way each generation is exactly 20 years.

        The origin stories podcast had an episode last week called "boomers" which talks about the various ways the generations can be defined.

            @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

                        @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. 🤷

                          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.

                                          @Walrus Just age groups. But you're right, it's not very diverse in terms of species. (Although I am very happy to be currently seeing quite a lot of cats.)

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