I'm 38. I suppose I am considered Generation X.

Anybody born after 1980 being factored into Generation X is a bit of a stretch to me.

>>134385315
People born in 1980-1981 should be considered Gen X because they mostly graduated hs in 1999, except those born in late 1981 who graduated in 2000. "Millennials" were supposed to refer to the millennium class onward.

Yes. Growing up I thought we were all gonna get nuked.

Millennials is supposed to refer to it being the last generation born prior to the turn of the Millennium.

>defining a cultural group by arbitrary word-formation describing arbitrary rounding off of dates
The fact that the person who made this infographic thinks that she even has to tell people that they don't belong to some cultural group is an indication more than anything else that she's wrong.

I was born in 1985 and people from my high school class did not generally share most cultural values with younger Millennials I've seen who were born past 1990. I wouldn't call myself a typical Gen Xer, but I know many people born in 1981-84 who are much more Gen X-like than I am.

>>134386283
This board is 18+, kid.

>>134384155

They say Millenial is 1985 and up.

I'm 1985, but I have no connection to the majority. I grew up listening to grunge. I regret every minute of it.

Born in 79

Also, I consider myself on the cusp of both Gen X and Millenial since different sources have different ideas on the year ranges for both.

If you were born in the 60s your still a boomer to me if you were born past the 70s your a millennial.

>>134387257

Millennial, no matter what idiotic autists on here try to tell you. Gen Z begins with births in 2000 onward. You are a younger edge millennial.

>>134386692
It doesn't matter what your "cultural values" are. You are still a Millennial.

This article was written in 2000 and refers to Millennials as born 1982 and up.

http://www.nytimes.com/books/00/11/05/reviews/001105.05brookst.html
>More striking than the demographic and morbidity trends, Howe and Strauss say, is the change in attitude. Howe and Strauss's Millennials -- defined as the high school class of 2000 and younger -- are less cynical than their elders. The boomers, as described here, are self-absorbed rebels. The Gen X types -- born from the mid-1960's to 1981 -- are more likely to be cynical slackers who go in for depressing music and ironic detachment.

>The Millennials are earnest, can-do types, more like the World War II generation than their parents or older siblings. The Millennials, the authors write, ''will correct what they will perceive to be the mistakes . . . of boomers, by placing positivism over negativism, trust over cynicism, science over spiritualism, team over self, duties over rights, honor over feeling, action over words.'' Basically, it sounds as if America has two greatest generations at either end of the age scale and two crummiest in the middle.

>>134389664

That describes gen Z more than Gen Y. Gen Y is like the shit generation born before World War 1 in Germany. Coming of age in the roaring 20s and basking in Weimar decadence.

Gen Z are going to be the ones in the brown shirts restoring order along with Gen Y captains who are the exception and not the rule.

Gen X will be running the show laughing "Jews suck"....The Jewish pushed nihilism backfiring on them

Yes. Fuck Boomers and Millennials (the new Boomers). Only difference is that Millennials will never be of any consequence other than as consumers being overshadowed and outcast by Gen X and Z. I've met a few worthy Millennials, but on a whole they are worthless and nothing but a cancer on our society. I have more respect for my Gen Z children and their friends.

>The majority of researchers and demographers start the generation in the early 1980s, with many ending the generation in the mid-1990s. Australia's McCrindle Research[28] regards 1980–1994 as Generation Y birth years. A 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers[29] report and Edelman Berland[30] use 1980–1995. Gallup Inc.,[31][32][33] Eventbrite[34][35] and Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research[36] all use 1980–1996. Ernst and Young uses 1981–1996.[37] Manpower Group uses 1982–1996.[38]

Others end the generation in the late 1990s or early 2000s. A 2017 viral video from BuzzFeed, detailing the seven living generations of Americans, described Millennials as those born between 1981–1997.[39] On the American television program Survivor, for their 33rd season, subtitled Millennials vs. Gen X, the "Millennial tribe" consisted of individuals born between 1984 and 1997.[40] Goldman Sachs,[41] Resolution Foundation,[42][43] and a 2013 Time magazine cover story[44] all use 1980–2000. SYZYGY, a digital service agency partially owned by WPP, uses 1981–1998,[45][46] and the United States Census Bureau uses 1982–2000.[47] Pew Research Center defines Millennials as being born from 1981 onwards, with no chronological end point set yet.[48][49]

Boomers are self absorbed and materialistic. Holy hell these people are greedy.
Gen x is chill, but they are dying off rapidly in their 40s and 50s. Ask anyone, a large chunk of the people they graduated with are already dead.
Millennials are self absorbed also, but instead of being materialistic they are special snowflake attention whores.
Gen z is supposedly red pilled, but I still think its too early to tell. Their technology illiteracy will prove a huge problem down the line I think.

Generation X started the trend of naming each generation.

Generation X was really a putdown.
It labeled us "X" as in unknown and without identity.
Up until that point every generation in USA had some sort of common social cause or some great War and evil enemy of America to fight.
We were just chillin out watching cartoons and smoking pot so they called us Gen X.
Little did we know our cool and chill attitudes would turn our kids into sjw snowflakes.

There are more suicides than ever among the middle-aged, apparently, plus the boozing and drugs don't help either.

>I think you just kinda out live your usefulness at some point

I've been feeling that way over the past few years. Not unhappy -- if anything I'm a lot less unhappy than when I was young, because I don't take things seriously anymore -- but just kind of done, and bored with most things. It's almost as if you have kids, raise them a bit and then you sense that your usefulness to the universe is at an end. Young people you try to chat with are polite but have that look, "who is this old guy?", the passion of marriage has long evaporated and even the idea of an affair has no appeal, you do work you don't like to make money you don't have any idea how to spend, and all the while cold mortality is breathing down your neck.

You need to spend a lot of time just living in the moment, sitting on the porch and feeling the sun's rays beating down on you, sipping a nice drink (and another, and another), cooking a gourmet meal, maybe learning a new language to keep your brain sharp or reading a book about history to feel grateful you're not one of the poor bastards who lived hundreds of years ago and lived and died in a horrible way. But I worry what I'm going to feel like when I'm 65, at this rate.

I was raised culturally Protestant (Scots-Irish) but my family wasn't religious at all.

My wife converted to Catholicism some time after we married so I go to Mass with her most Sundays, but at most I'm kind of a hopeful Deist, I suppose.

Why are people so desperate to not be millennials, to the point of saying they're Gen X/Z even though they were born in 1984 or 1995 or whatever? It's not like being born in the same twenty year period as millions (hell, billions if we're talking worldwide) of other people means you suddenly have to identify with the most stereotypical & annoying members of that age group. It's just a label.

you can choose to be either old or young, if you are old in your mind, it will make you old, it seems that certain people, well most people really, once they hit an age of about 45 or 50, they kind of just start to "think old", and in turn they act "old" and not in a mature way, but just in a weak, bitter, lazy, regretful, pity party way.

just because you are over 50 doesn't mean you need to feel "old", but if you "feel" old, and internalize this feeling of "oldness", it will most certainly reduce your happiness and in turn your energy level. it will also shorten your life. and bring ailments. don't let the mass media get to you. stop listening to commercials. on the radio "HEY! ARE YOU OVER 50???!!! HAVE YOU GOTTEN TESTED FOR THIS AND THAT??? HAVE YOU PROTECTED YOUR THIS OR THAT?? HAVE YOU WRITTEN OUT YOUR WILL AND PLANNED 30 YEARS AHEAD??"

no no no. did you ever think 30-40 years ahead when you were 20? or even 30?

our society creates fear and guilt and shame in its citizens, you are meant to be a meek, fearful, "OLD", aging, drone, in an otherwise sad society. and you are meant to only get your happiness by drinking alcholol and watching dindu ball. this is the reality the Jews create

>>134393604
Our generation was the "ME" generation - literally. Excess, self-absorbedness to the extreme and it's only gotten worse as we've gotten older. Also depends on where we live. I've lived in other areas where people of all gens were just better, kinder, more considerate & less selfish and I was glad they were having kids -- unlike people I grew up with.

You're right that nobody should indulge in their physical or emotional weaknesses just because they're a certain age, but it is true that people's temperaments and natural energy levels change as they grow older, and there's nothing wrong with this. A healthy society has a role for the young, the middle-aged, and the elderly. It's a kind of modern North American heresy that "age is just a number" and "you're only as young as you feel" -- and it comes from a conscious or unconscious exaltation of youth above others and a feeling that with enough willpower we can all remain young in some way (e.g. "cougars", who are merely pathetic).

There's the "lost generation" everyone forgets, those born during WWII, pretty much. Boomers really start after the war ended. And people born in the early 40s are really too young to be WWII generation, which is generally from 1920-40. I've known a few and they're mostly kind of quiet, respectable types raised with a lot of responsibility, rather serious types with the work ethic of the WWII generation but lacking the joie de vivre, for want of a better term. They usually really super hate Boomers. My uncle is one. My Dad's youngest brother, almost twenty years his junior. He thinks of himself as a WWII gen person but admits his contemporaries are much younger than most people who fit that description, like my Dad (who was born in '24 and literally signed up for WWII on his 18th birthday.)

As it's turns out music and movies do influence kids and brainwash people. Turns out all those squares in the 50's and 60's shitting on rock'n'roll may have had a point. oh well.

There's not much comfort being the first generation born to see the death of western civilization on the horizon.

As far as millenials and forward, for the most part it's like watching pod people, utterly self absorbed (similar to baby boomers) and locked into consumerism and easy to program.

this is the reality they create, one where we are all detached. fragmented. no sense of community. no sense of real tribal love. our holidays have been reduced to mere marketing promotions, halloween xmas, look in walmart, it alrady has "BACK TO SCHOOL" signs hanging fromt he ceiling, its fucking middle of July last time i checked. they create a reality where its all about MONEY, and bills, and stress about MORTgage payments. there is no more identity any more, no common one that we have. this is why forums like this are popular because we seek to reach mutual agreement and share our thoughts and find others who think them the same. we have no more community. not a real one anyway. we live in a time where MONEY is king, and COMMunity is NOTHING.

comm-UNITY is gone
now all we have is COMM-ERCE....COHERSE....hearse.....

they want all focus on greed and materiality....on owning things and paying for things. this is why we are a sad society, collectively we are sad. because as Gentiles, we are not wired this way, we are not wired to be in a rat race for money, we care about COMMUNITY, and Partnership....seeing the good in eachother and accepting the bad. but what we are NOT, is JEWS. we do not seek to lay waste to this world, in the name of some maniacal God, who tells us ())) that

Moses 7, 16: "Thou wilt devour all nations, which the Lord thy God will give thee. Thou shalt have no mercy on them, and shalt not serve their gods, for to do so will be thy condemnation.*
The oriental scholar, Adolf Wahrmund, is therefore justified in referring to the journey of the Jews across the earth as an expedition for the capture of the world — certainly not by open force of arms, but by other means, a plentiful store of which, is placed at their disposal by the Talmudic teaching of the Rabbis.

I'm a millenial in my late 20's, my 2 older male cousins who are mid 30's late Gen Xers own fucking showbox starter homes, and I have a married coworker who's 42 and married and has never owned a home, tldr those born 76' onwards don't have it much better

You just told my story too, pretty much.
I've spent the last 2-3 years finding out a choice selection of ugly truths. I've always been pretty woke, and I predicted a lot of what's happening now, the population bomb and all, and the rise of the third world--against us, I mean.

But it's all so much fucking worse than even pessimistic me imagined. I've literally damaged my health trying to cope with the stress of realizing how bad it's going to get if we don't somehow turn this shit around.

I feel sorry for GenZ. But I have to say, the members of that generation I know are based as fuck. Or really autistic. Or--both.

Similar. One house, two rental properties, acres in New Mexico. Own my own business and have worked out of the house for 20 years now since we left NYC and moved to the greatest state in the union, Florida. Own four cars, newest one is a 0% int. loan and my credit rating is right at 800. I never finished college as I worked full-time in the publishing industry at the time (no student loans) and had two great professors who realized that the stuff I was doing at work (graphic design/publishing) was two to three years ahead of what they were teaching. I don't think that would happen these days. My Boomer parents gave me nothing. Didn't even have my own bedroom in high school and slept on a pullout couch. Put myself through three years of college and went to work full time as an art director in NYC. I was a senior art director by the time I resigned, packed my shit along with my wife and we moved to Florida. I was 25 when I started my own ad agency and bought my first house for $87,000 in 1996. Son was born in '97 and I sold that house for $137,000 and bought a 3600 sft house for $189k. My grandfather back in NY was diagnosed with vascular dementia and my fucking self-absorbed parents wouldn't take care of him so I moved him in with us that year. He eventually worsened and five years ago I had to put him assisted living where I visited him several times a week with my family and volunteered whenever I could. He passed away three years ago. I truly believe that most Gen Xers have a very similar work and family ethic as I do and I see the same in my Gen Z kids. I give the Millennials shit because know matter what they claim they all, on average, have had it better than most Gen Xers. The fucking Boomers left us with nothing and had the nerve to shit talk us when we realized what they did and called them out on it.

"age is just a number" is a cliche. it's meant to be one. it's meant to be thought as only something that "pie in the sky" dreamer hippies would say or believe. this is the deception. look i just layed it out for you

you have two choices. either be "young" inside of your soul...or be "old"......Von Gothe has a quote that says
"life is merely the Childhood of our immortality"
being "young" in the mind doesnt mean you dont accept your body changes over time, but your mental outlook affects your cells, it affects stress levels.

havent you ever seen someone who was full of energy and smiling, and you later learn they were about 30 years older than you wouldve thought?-----welll....there it is.

conversely, you will meet people who you would swear are 20 years older than they arctualy are......well then---there it is.

you either choose to be "old" or not. you can either choose to smile to the world.....and show the world some love, or you can frown at it, and squint your eyes begrudgingly

>>134392713
Hmmm. Among people I know, the GenXers mostly had their kids late, so there are a few millennials but a lot of GenZ offspring. Millennials and GenXers I know mostly have Boomer parents, and man is it ever obvious....in their egotism and elitism and our depression and alienation.

You are so right though that "GenX" was invented by Boomers as an insult, and that's probably why it became a rebellious badge of pride--in our stoned, laid back way, at least. The keyword for GenX is: "....whatever."

We are the ones who imposed it on our kids & forced it onto society, though. It's amazing how people I grew up with are excatly the opposite of how we were brought up. We got punished & gorunded and knew to not frick up again or there were consequences when we were kids. No accountability at ALL now. Just excuses, whining, attention whoring on facebook, and blaming everything else for ours & our kids' fuckups.

I think you're missing my point. There's nothing wrong with being old, or with getting older; these things are not synonymous with a cranky, bitter view of life (God knows there are enough Millennials who are that way). It's pretending to be forever young that makes so many middle-aged and older people today look ridiculous in their neverending quest to prove they've "still got it".

The real generational divide is whether you grew up with the consumer Internet, or if your childhood was (mostly) over by the time it existed.

The world of 1997 and the world of 2017 are so damned different, if only because of the difference in the ability to access and disseminate information.

Also gen X. Agreed on season 4. Great writing, poignant without being preachy, full character development without the trite stereotypes that it fell into the last several seasons. Really, all up til season 10 are good. It becomes progressively less good each year after that.

nah man, I'm not anymore....pre-1990 the nuke threat was way more real or at least it seemed way more real it was a major theme in movies, games, music, television etc..because it was during the cold war. Now apocalypse themes seem to be natural disasters and/or viral outbreaks (including zombies) ...unless you're still scarred from the 80s I guess

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

This is true I got a shit attention spam from all the constant information flow, being away from a phone or a computer for too long is torture. Feels great having billions of information right at my finger tips and so many websites and shows I can pretty much never be bored

I can't understand gen x. They are still half boomers and half millenials without the sense of humor of either. Most are bleeding heart liberals or totally insufferable.

Gen X doesn't deserve management positions to be very fucking honest.

Beautifully written and very accurate. I guess many of us feel this way. I know my wife does too; we talk about it. Particularly that feeling of "I no longer matter because I'm older"--I hate that, because I have more character and more to contribute than I ever did when I was young. It's even worse for her in a way; older women really do become sort of invisible--at least, if they allow themselves to be, and it's hard to fight that without being ridiculous.

And mortality...I still can't deal with it. The only salve is, as you said, to get out and live in the moment, enjoy every moment as much as you can. And try to find peace in your own mind and life.

I will say that I sense some usefulness for all of us in places like this, in having these dialogues. I've learned from a lot of you younger people here, no--really I have. And hopefully I've given some good advice and shared some important info and maybe even a little wisdom. I know that some of us here helped get our candidate elected, both in the offline world and through our activities online. There's a meme I like--pic related--and it's true of aging humans as well. On the internet, nobody knows how old or young you are. Or your gender, how you look, whatever. It's a pure conversation of minds, and strangely enough, a lot can be accomplished thereby.

>synonymous with a cranky, bitter view of life (God knows there are enough Millennials who are that way). It's pretending to be forever young that makes so many middle-aged and older people today look ridiculous in their neverending quest to prove they've "still got it".

is not about outwardly proving anything to anyone. it's a moment to moment internal compass thing, that is meant to make you happier and more energetic. if you successfully manage this internal sense of "youngness" then you will naturally gravitate towards more exciting things. iow, if it's a genuine internal feeling and an aura that you emit, that basically says, idgaf what society tells me i am supposed to feel like, then you will manifest it in gainful way. you will recycle this good energy.

it's got nothing to do with proving anything to anyone. it's merely about maintaining a good vibrational state of being, and not succumbing to the mass state of being. people talk abou tthe ffountain of youth. this is it. except they have it backwards, you dont "grow old" and then go and sip from the fountain-----you simply do not "grow old", not in your mainentance state.

your ground state. the state of mind you carry from moment to moment. is it one of "oldness"? or "youngness"....this is all

For you Gen X'ers getting up in age; the time is short:

Ecclesiastes 12Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

12 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2 while the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3 in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, 4 and the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; 5 also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 6 or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Hey gentlemen. I'm not an oldfag, but Socrates speaks about this aging in The Republic. His opinion is that you work and contribute until 40 if I remember correctly, and then you're able to spend the rest of your days contemplating philosophy. That seems like a good use of time that can help both you and us youngerfags as well.

You are aware that the Internet was around in '97, and it was pretty much the same old shit?

Who remembers when the internet was pretty much 100% white? pre-2000 chinks were still wiping their asses with leaves and shitskins in the west were too poor to pay $3000 for an average computer. It seemed like the internet got more diverse around the mid 2000's but especially around the time myspace was big. Social media was a magnet for "lesser thans" ... If you are white and use facebook you are a massive faggot

>Newfags don't remember West Germany.

I lived in West Germany for a year when I was a kid (78-79). My dad was in the British Army and was basically there to be cannon fodder until the reinforcements arrived in the event of a Warsaw Pact invasion. Soldiers used to come to the house in the middle of the night, knock, and take him away on an invasion drill, but they never told him it was just a drill until he got to the Fulda Gap or wherever it was being staged.

Born in 1984 do I qualify as a honorary generation x'er if I feel like one (for ex. I prefer the work of recording artists born in 60's & 70's and I only like film & television works from visionaries from aforementioned age bracket) ?

>>134397642
Great post and I agree.
My problem personally is more that I do choose to be young and I feel young, mentally; but my once-impervious physical health has encountered some real bumps in the road in the last year and it's shaken me a bit. Both problems were surprises too, considering that I'd done everything I could to prevent such issues--all for nothing, I guess, pretty discouraging. I was always a subtly depressed sort who actually did think 30-40 years ahead, and what's a real bummer is that getting old is exactly as shitty as I expected/feared. Was sort of hoping for a pleasant surprise, should've known better, lol. I'm sure there's a Murphy's Law for this shit too.

All that said, your post is still great and I agree. Most people really need to hear that message, and often, especially as >>134398421 is spot on.

That year in West Germany was the happiest year of my childhood, because all the British and other Empire kids (we had a few Hong Kong and Gibraltar too) had kind of a siege mentality from living in a sea of Germans which really made the schools feel very cozy and friendly. We used to have mass fights with the German kids and yell out words that we'd learned from the war comics, like "Schweinhund!" It drove them fucking nuts and they'd throw stones at us.

Like when they show a TV. It's a nice, crisp digital image, when, in reality, every TV those days actually had signal quality pic related. Also programming half the day pic related.
