Are there really that man Gen Xers in Congress?
OverpricedCrayon
Yes. Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, I dont know why I can only think of Republicans. Oh there's Tammy Duckworth
harthram
Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, etc
Canofminus
Gen X'ers right now include people in their mid 40's.
harthram
No. We barely make a dent in Congress. I remember when they tried to blame us for Iraq. But there were exactly 0 Xers when that passed
Elezar42
Including ones on the Boomer/X cusp (and the few on the X/Y cusp), about half of the House is Gen X. About a third of the Senate is.
harthram
No. Silent/Boomer/X/Millennial % for the Senate is 19%/61%/20%/0%; for the House it is 8.3%/60%/27.8%/2.9% (w/ 4 seats vacant)
Elezar42
Not even close. 24 senators born since ‘61, so definitely GenX. Including cusp years up to ‘58, there are 32 senators.
Elezar42
For only 20 senators to be considered Gen X, you’d have to put the generation cutoff in the middle year 1962…
harthram
That range is excessively wide for X. I used 63-79. X starts at around 63-65, depending on who you ask (60 if you want to be generous) 1/2
sharpasabanana
Thats what i was going to ask. I'm genx and i dont know if we have any
SomeDetroitGuy
Huh - apparently, Gen X starts in 1961 so that would include a number of 50-something Reps and Senators.

Boomers are those born up to 1964, Gen X is 1965-1976

since the definitions of all generations is dumb as shit im both millenial and gen z, my point is we should not label ourselves like this

Except boomers referred to prev gen as "Greatest Generation". Made it through depression and war and left the earth better for boomers.
harthram
The previous gen to boomers are "Silents". Also "Greatest" didn't receive their label until after they started dying off; they were GI gen
harthram
Boomers didn't particularly liked Silents. Silents were the ones arresting/chastising them when boomers were hippies

Yeah...but the world is literally being ruined in a physical sense for once. That's pretty impressive for a generation to accomplish no?

The problem is stereotyping, the problem isn't which group you stereotype.
LoudBirb
But they're not at all. The term "generation" explicitly describes an age group. By definition. Nothing to do with behavior.

The point of describing an age group is to classify by similar experiences (growing up with both pre-digital and post-digital tech), so 1/

census and research firms use. Cross into 2000 is the next generation.
AngryBlasian
Pew research and others agree it goes into the early 2000s
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, since I thought the term basically meant anyone who was born before '99-'00 and became an adult after.
tornadosandwich
Averaging what I saw on most sites it's more like 1976-1994
TheMightyJoe
1990 forever
INoLongerCareBoutThisName
I think it is very vague when one gen ends and another begins.
ViolentWatcher1234
I think it’s up until 95 is millennial

Heeeeey! *finger guns*

Generation Why?

It starts with 1982, the first graduating class of the new millennium.

I'm pretty sure computers existed in the 80's...

yea. commodore is great for surfing internet and using photoshop. actually i'm here in imgur with my trusty c64 right now.
Neptuneflyer
Children who grew up with smartphones and computers are gen-z. I think this year is the first year gen-z is graduating high school.
Lowlsqwid
A good generalization is that if you reached adulthood (18+) before about 2010. Then You are a millennial
PercivalFailed
The one I’ve heard is of you remember 9/11 but not the Challenger explosion, then you’re a Millennial.
geologyrocksmysocks85
Best way to think of Millennials, do you have crippling student loans and long for nostalgia of 90's cartoons? Congrats you're a Millennial.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
I was born in the 70s and I have crippling student loan debt. My cartoon nostalgia is for Bugs Bunny, though.
septillion
my parents are rich and I didn't have a tv growing up, witness me
cnutmuffin47
I have 1/2 but I'm Gen Z. Do I count?
vegii
I think very few post-'96 see the connection between a pencil and a compact casette or recognize the dialup sound. Also IE6, no tabs, FF2...
maetryx
Often it's 15 years: 1950-65 boomers, 1965-80 GenX, 1980-95 GenY/Millennial, 1995 - 2010 GenZ (surely to be renamed later).
Cthoniki
So what are you if you were born in 65 or 95?
septillion
A freak
Pinaplewapi
You win
threeblackkittens
For the purpose of census taking Gen Y is defined as 1982 to 1998, though. Gen X was also almost 20 years instead of 15 IIRC
Cereaza
Yeah. the youngest millenials now are like... 24-25.
Skywatcher16
millenials are currently beween 18 and 35 years old.
LincLoud
Although if you ask anyone, it seems to mysteriously only start AFTER their birthday. "No, I was born in 1983, Millenials are after that"
tupilak
Can't be, then i am a millennial, and i have a house, car and retirement plan!
iluvgrumpycat
So do I. Still a millennial though :) We came of age in the new Millennium.
NitroHeist
I see it as this: if you were born when a land line was the main phone, but saw 9 year olds with a cell phone by the time you were 20.
BermondseyRising
‘82, stressed, heartbroken, skint, hate my job, but YAY
jsktrogdor
There's no precise dates because social "generations" arent real. It's just nonsense people made up so we can look down on one another.
Deseno
Agreed, segregation is the cause for societal failure.
perfecteye18
Dead on..hate when this comes up in the office. Like Bitch idc what you ID with, your birth year will not change and your birth year/
seandel20189000
Exactly like a 'fill in your social generation' would say.
nero4ty2
it's all about marketing, when researching demographics that are coming of age to have real spending power people want to know what they >
nero4ty2
are doing with their money and how to get them to spend more of it, and about making broad sweeping generalizations about age groups
Quboid
There are some vague cultural ties, people raised on similar fashion, TV, music, etc.
TangoRhubarb
Dude. Nothing is real
TonyMontanasBalls
Haha spot on
INoLongerCareBoutThisName
Yeah, we can’t say “September 2nd, 97 ends Gen x, sept 3rd, 97 begins y” because how different can those two people be?
chloramphenicolderivative
On social media you can describe it like that. But it does make sense when describing development of trends and behaviors over time.
jsktrogdor
To a massively limited degree. Beyond that you're just hurling sweeping generalizations based on some astrology-esque dartboard of years.
chloramphenicolderivative
Obviously highly specific trends like tide pods it doesn't make sense to describe, because memes are random, but it does make sense to 1/2
chloramphenicolderivative
2/2 describe overall tends in behavior for 16 yos in 2000 and 16 yos in 2017.
jsktrogdor
3/3 2.5 child family because they're a baby boomer and that's what baby boomers do. They'd behave exactly like a millennial.
jsktrogdor
1/3 Those behavior patterns don't exist because of the year range in which people were born. It exists because of their environment now.
jsktrogdor
2/3 If you took a baby boomer and magically transported them into the life of a 23 year old, they wouldnt go and try to buy a home & start a
perfecteye18
Does not determine shit about you except age and maybe the ammount of nitrogen in yer blood
TheLurkIsReal
Wait, explain the nitrogen thing?
perfecteye18
Its the opposite of daytrogen
Maungroas
As you get older and older, nitrogen builds up until you explode...maybe
rudejohn
It's not about precise dates... it's about finding traits common to a higher percentage of one age group vs. others.
rudejohn
Obviously some Gen Z will act almost entirely like Baby Boomers and yell at people to get off their lawn. We are talking about macro trends.
jsktrogdor
You cannot talk about percentages like you're dealing with statistics when you just said your sample parameters are not precise.
rudejohn
One marketing company can say "if we define Gen X as 1965 to 1984, they have a 50% chance of being interested in Transformer merchandise."
rudejohn
Another company can pick different dates, thus making start/end dates imprecise, but their statistics for the demographic are still accurate
ilovepetramusic
The generational groupings is a real thing. As an employer, the psychology associated with each group is real. 1/2
SweetZombiJesus
Upvoted you, but I fear people who hate logic will downvote you again.
ilovepetramusic
They show similar expectations as their liked aged peers. It’s not about blame, it’s about understanding people and their behaviours 2/2
ilovepetramusic
https://www.thebalance.com/tips-for-managing-millennials-1918678?amp An example of what I mean
jsktrogdor
Those people have different psychology *because of how old they are*, not because of the arbitrary year range in which they were born.
seandel20189000
Cultures change with time period. Very obviously, year range can have an impact on psychology.
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
No. It's not like people of the same age living in different decades think and behave the same.
jsktrogdor
"People born between 2008 and 2010 are culturally predisposed to be immature." - "Have you considered that's just because they're 10?"
Neptuneflyer
It's more than that though, they are immature in very different ways than 10 year olds in the 1970's; and more mature in some aspects.
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
That was funny! But I agree with Neptune. A 10-year-old in 1870s would think and act very differently.
carlofonovs
Yes but you can’t ignore the cultural and social influence on individual psychology, and that varies by generation, not just age.
carlofonovs
If age were the only influence, 70 year old people now would be ‘the same’ as 70 y/o people 50 years ago and that clearly isn’t the case
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
How can you say that? That's absurd! Now I'll have to look down on you!
Kabibble
Spoken like a true Millenial. :D
TGWolf
Millennials are anyone who started formal education in the 2000s, 95' onward with 2010 marking the beginning of Gen Z.
ButtFaceChase
84 here and I don't consider myself a millennial. I thought it was like 1990-2000's
Scalecat
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Trail_Generation
LexLurker84
84 too and TIL that I'm a millennial now I feel less old... (My back hurts tho)
GodEmperor0fMankind
Yeah the 80s are considered by a lot of people to be its own generation.
NotWrenP
I'm 99' but I personally think that I'm more of a gen Z then a millennial.
septillion
You're like the first person I've seen who chose to call themselves gen z. Cool
Cereaza
You are, I believe, technically Gen Z. Most research groups put Millenials at the latest born in 94-96.
Andolomar
I'm '95 but I'm definitely not a millennial. Millennials are retarded. Also, eating detergent and nofap gives you wizard powers.
Cereaza
You are, I believe, technically Gen Z. Most research groups put Millenials at the latest born in 94-64.
GoddamnGiraffes
Technically Gen Z is 95 to 2012.
septillion
technically there's no consensus and different orgs use different dates, so call yourself whatever you identify with more, within reason.
CajunLemon
I'm 97' and I don't know where the fuck I belong
AdmJota
If someone is too young to remember the year 2000, then I don't think it makes sense to call them a "millennial".
TheAdsMadeMeLeave
And I'm 98 but feel like more of a millennial. Probably because I didn't get a smartphone until I was 18, and then I also grew up on VHS.
Vandaliam

LocutusOfBored
eldieron24
You are. I think the millennial date ends at 94 if I remember correctly
ifavouritelotsofwallpapers
I'm a 99 but I grew up around a lot of older cousins. They were early 90's kids so I feel like a millennial. We are kinda caught in between
PapaNurgleLovesYou
Same
PapaNurgleLovesYou
VHS, audio Cassettes. PS1 an an old CRT 18-20 inch tv. '98
PapaNurgleLovesYou
I also spent most of my childhood outside
TheAdsMadeMeLeave
Same here, I didn't get a smartphone until I was 18, and I was still mostly on VHS through most of my life. I'm 98
TheAdsMadeMeLeave
Well, not 98, I was born in'98
CoolNoah
Me too, grew up playing on my older brothers PS1 and watching my faveourite vhs movies over and over. '99
Alomain
Marketing companies call that little subgroup the 'Plurals,' the group who distances themselves from Millennials and those born after 2000.
Neptuneflyer
Born in '96, I never know what category I'm supposed to fall into.
atomicpotato124
Same here, definitely not eating tide pods though
DennyOverlordd
You are. Because my sister is that age too
purgethefilthyheretics
lol what, I'm '95 and I'd honestly consider myself millennial as I was barely able to speak before the millennium shift.
MericanFunkYeah
Tide pods
NitroHeist
You are.
AnonOmis1000
I kinda bridge the gap. I was in 93. Most of my growing happened after 2000
lungbudda
What about me in 94?
DangerousNoodle
There is no mistaking you for other than a Millenial.
LiquorRiles
We’re millennials bruh
Lunaura
You’re a millennial. Sorry >_<
WyldLyle86
86?
NotWrenP
I think that's the earliest you could be one. Cause my parents are gen X and were in highschool when you were born
ThisNameIsntTakenYet
No one wants to be labeled a millennial.
Ireallylikepuzzles
I'm okay with that, but maybe just because once a teacher that i admire call us millennials in a non-despective and really cute way
EhIsForCanehdians
Honestly the only generation I'd rather be labeled is the Greatest Generation or the Silent Generation.
clholl10
What are the different characteristics of the two? I was born around the same time (97'), but have no idea what I would be classified as.
TheAdsMadeMeLeave
Do you remember the turn of Technology from things like VHS, dvd, to Blu-ray? Did you have a smartphone at a young age? Those are some keys.
clholl10
I have boxes in the basement with all of my childhood movies on VHS that are now useless :( Still haven't replaced all of the disney movies
PikaChunin
Haha, 99'ers are milliennialz.
phenomanII
I'm 98 and definitely a millennial. And thanks to my country lacking behind the rest of the world a 90's kid as well.
bwsmithabc123
You have downvotes for some reason? Curious about which country you're talking about
ThelostWorldofAtlantis
Millenials are born between 1980 and 1995 or 1996. 1999 is gen z
marblesmagnetspenkers
Make your mind up. When is it.. you've lost 3 years there
septillion
They aren't saying 99 is the start of gen z, just that it's part of it
ThelostWorldofAtlantis
Um glad to see someone can keep up
Votvotavota
Than*
obizues
I’m ‘84 and I don’t know what I am because I don’t feel like a gen X or millennial.
101Medic
I've heard us called the Oregon Trail generation. We exhibit traits of both GenX and Millenials.
obizues
And that was a great game.
Lunaura
We’re called Xennials lol
WyldLyle86
This then would include 86 I hope!
daURLfieldcanonlycontainlettersandnumbers
Because you can't tell apart then and than?
silvermoon88
I'm also 99 but I'm usually grouped as a millennial, so, you know
EhIsForCanehdians
I'm pretty sure, they're called millennials because they were born at the turn of the millennia. if anything, your more millennial than most
Gallus1985
It's more about being conscious and growing up at the turn of the millennia. Just like being born in 1988 doesn't make you an 80s kid.
ButtFaceChase
I'd agree here. I'm1984 and don't consider myself a millennial
filthymansock
Millennials are 35 and under, but I feel ya, 1986 here and I certainly don't feel like a millennial!
ButtFaceChase
Dude we grew up with fucking pagers and 32 bit systems. I didn't get the internet until 6th grade. I didn't see what the internet was 1/2
AdmJota
1984 is right around the borderline, and the edges are fuzzy. I'm sure there are some Gen X'ers born in 1984 and Millennials born in 1980.
Neptuneflyer
It's like how I feel being born in 1996, I'm definitely not gen z, but I don't feel like a millennial either.
ButtFaceChase
I like Gen X... sounds cooler

My s thing was the cinnamon challenge so not as bad but still pretty stupid
RedGreen5
Pretty sure the milk gallon challenge was the early millennial stupid thing to do. Remember more than a few friends trying that one out
Eldibs
Yeah, but at least cinnamon is technically food.
Gasnia
And people weren't dying of cinnamon unless extreme cases of suffocation. Tide pods are poison and have killed.
LokeGroundrunner
Dude the cinnamon challenged has been around for a long time. It's not exclusive to any generation.
SeriouslyAwkward
so what you're saying is you're actually Gen y.5 where the stupidity was evolving to the next level Gen z?
MadMerlyn
Gen-Z: This isn't even my final form yet!
NotWrenP
Yeah but we don't have the college debt of gen Y (yet).
SeriouslyAwkward
ALSO, IIRC, i believe the cinnamon challenge did end up killing a couple people too due to excessive coughs and not being able to breath
InsouciantSausage
why not just pour water down your gullet?

Still not drinking/eating poison tho
