TIL that I am a millennial at 35 yo. I thought I was Gen X.
- ericras 10y agoThere used to be a Gen Y in the middle there but it disappeared.
- eyelidlessness 10y agoWe were. Then people realized "Gen X" was insanely broad, and they split us off into "Gen Y", which never stuck because that was one of the stupidest names ever conceived. Then it's like none of that ever happened and we're part of the generation who has never known life without the Internet and still don't know what Hammer Pants are. Don't worry, it's not supposed to make sense. It'll all get redefined again before we're 50.
- mjevans 10y agoI know what hammer pants are, barely, as that song was super popular within my memory. I can't recall what they look like, but I know EXACTLY what song they are paired with. I don't really feel like I'm part of any demographic. Truly a lost generation.
- helthanatos 10y agoI usually see 1985-2005 ish as the defining birth years of "millennials"
- beambot 10y agoFor any living group of people, these labels and boundaries are relatively arbitrary. It will likely evolve over the next few decades (and beyond) as the cultural shifts that occurred become more apparent / distinct.
