*tumbleweed rolling*

I presume the answer is no.

However, I have a question: When is the end date for Millennials/Generation Y? Is it in 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, or somewhere else?

>>38527445
That post is wrong and your old. Millennials start at 84

>>38527445
I think it ends with the very last people old enough to remember 9/11, which would place the cutoff at around ~1995-1997, depending on how good the individual's memory was as a young child.

However most people are lazy and just go with a 2000 cutoff date. This makes people born in the 80s and early-mid 90s antsy, because it includes those born in the late 90s/early 2000s, who are widely considered cancerous.

I'm here, Certified GenX

1996 master race reporting in.

We're probably at the tail end of Gen Y or the very beginning of Gen Z. I remember 9/11 as well, though I had no idea what the fuck was going on. I left kindergarten early, watched the planes crash into the buildings and I thought I was watching some kind of movie, so I got bored and started playing Super Mario 64 kek

>We're probably at the tail end of Gen Y or the very beginning of Gen Z.
Yep. Gallup says the former, but Jew york times says the latter.

>>38527445
putting exact years on a generation isnt really possible because people have varying experiences and maturity levels, but right around the mid 90s is where the generational gap is clear.

>>38527499
I think it's not just 9/11 that's important, but also life before the internet was ubiquitous.

>my arbitrary labels mean anything!
Anyone born before about '87 will relate to gen X much better than millenials.

I'm close being a 1983 New Year's baby. I feel like I identify and relate better with people of that generation than I do Millennials. Technically though I am still a Millennials myself.

>>38527483
SOME sources say that, but those are minor and make no sense. 1984 is a date that feels like it was picked from a hat.

MOST say 1982. The media (years before the high school Class of 1999 graduated) made a big deal about the Class of 2000, including stories by Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw who mentioned a new generation, Generation Y aka "Millennials", entering college in 2000.

>>38527580
Internet became ubiquitous around 1995; those born in 1989 or so would be the last to have some memories before it became ubiquitous. This would cut millennials down to, what, 7 years? A generation can't be 7 years, that's too short. It has to be around 15-20.

>arguing over the exact year as though there's an exact cutoff point.

there's people born in the early 80's that have both gen x and millennial qualities

Implying the average poster isn't gen y

36 here, born in (obviously) 1981. Never fealt I really belonged to Gen X or Y. Feels ambiguous man.

>>38526917
I'm '83 so it depends who you ask. Do you have a question or something?

>>38528080
There are 36 year olds who are born in 1980

>>38528129
OK I'll rephrase it, I turned 36 this year.

>>38526917
or stop trying to segment and compartmentalize this constuct of generations and accept that everybody is just a person, you can identify patterns, but thats what the human brain does autimatically anyway so dont take it too seriously

I was the accidental late inclusion to a family of three gen x kids. Born in '83. Youngest by seven years. It was not a pleasant childhood. Dad had a vasectomy shortly after I was conceived. Declared bankruptcy around the same time. Bullied by my older siblings. Then they moved out and it was me and parents. Then parents divorced when i was 11. Like i said not pleasant.

Did you graduate hs before or after 2000? I believe you're Gen X if you graduated before, silly a distinction it may be

'73 baby here

Pretty much squarely in the GenX category.

Not that many of us on this board, for sure.

Yes, 1999. I graduated in the 20th century.
I guess I'm Gen X then.
>>38528262
Hey Gramps! We're definitely few in number.

>>38528262
You are legit old enough to be my dad

What brings you to this board, old timer?

>>38527600
Some black people can relate to white people better than black people but that doesn't mean they're white

Well, I started off going to /b/ for the humor about maybe 5 years ago, but that got old. So, I went around to other boards searching for something new, but most of it was crap.

I hung out in /biz/ for a bit but that's pretty much all crypto now, so I left.

I saw r9k and thought "Ok, I like robots, I'll see what's there" LOL. I honestly don't care about 90% of the stuff on here, but what I did originally like was talking about NEET life. Basically, I'm nearly set to retire and most of the NEET discussions (aside from the shitposting) I can contribute to in some way, so I do.

That's pretty much it.

hey, 97 here, why am i cancerous, or how am i more cancerous than those before me?
