Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis ostensibly it's centered around us being born into a totally analog world that still played outside all day without supervision and movies and TV had production values still and there were Rolodexes, but then we were still young enough for the flip to a digital society to be able to implant itself in our lives in a way that the Lead Paint Generation and Gen X was just a little too old and inelastic for. Some of them could, but not overall.
@Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis If it works for you that's grand, but do note I'm the most Gen Xy GenX you can get (born in '73 so right in the middle), and at age 20 I was busy writing web sites and fiddling with all the early 90s 32 bit protected mode operating systems..
(and playing DOOM, naturally).

@Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis It was a good time to be 20, mostly! Everything was mostly not too corporate (well, definitely not the web), and operating systems were very much still wildly experimental.
Plus computing for the average person went from 16 colours, to 256 colours, to true colour and 3D in less than 8 years

I wish this poll had a Xennial option. I find these kinds of tech environments skew towards us as the tech boom began during our adolescence / young adulthood.I may be a Millennial, but I'm on the cusp. I have a lot in common with young Gen X.

@thordis as a '96 baby... Idk? I answer millenial, I have more in common with millenials, but I am either nearly the youngest a millenial can be or the oldest a gen z could be.

@thordis Millennials. I thought non-English speakers were smarter than English speakers.

@thordis Something else to know about polls is that if you edit the post to fix the spelling of “millennial”, you will zero out the responses and people will have to vote again.

@thordis interesting! I'm liking this admixture.

@Bumblefish @thordis Yeah I was surprised to hear of someone thinking it was mostly millennials here. The polls I've seen before had most people here around ~40 yo. Of course, that's probably a biased sample because of the whole "birds of a feather" thing
@hosford42 if most are around 40 that would make them millennials too

@FuturisticRobert @dfx @thordis @szczurtorebkowy I'm not alone!

I identify as Xennial -

"Everybody forgets about #GenX" - Hence the X, for unknown, living in the shadow of Boomers -
@thordis I feel like I could put Gen X in the lead just by boosting this to my followers
-
@thordis GenX gets on my nervesssss! Everybody is blaming boomers for everything, but it’s GenX that are the real menaces (I can’t prove it yet)

Yeah I'm a Millennial (Generation Y) born Dec 18th 1983.
LOLz Boomers are only 13%, that's because for Boomers to be able vote on here they would need someone to help them vote becasue it's Tech/the Internet

@thordis this is the Gen X-iest platform I’ve ever been on including in the 80s
