quote:

Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. Demographers, historians and commentators use birth dates ranging from the early 1960s to the early 1980s.[27][28][29] The term has also been used in different times and places for a number of different subcultures or countercultures since the 1950s.[30]

Millennials, also known as the Millennial Generation,[31] or Generation Y, is the demographic cohort following Generation X. Commentators use birth dates ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.[32][33][34]

Generation Z refers to the cohort of people born after the Millennial Generation. There is no agreement on the exact dates of the generation with some sources starting it at the mid or late 1990s[31] or the more widely used period from the mid 2000s[35] to the present day.

I really don't think people in their early 30s are Gen X

My parents were both born in late '56 which was still considered the "Baby Boomers" and had me in their late 20's. I'm the next generation after the Baby Boomers on a technicality so I'm a Gen Xer who was raised among the Millennials.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Pretty sure 9/11 was the dividing line between millenial-gen-x 'tweeners. Like if you weren't already so broken, cynical, high and intoxicated on 9/11 like it was just another day, and the impact of the CNN footage didn't resonate with you as such, you're probably just another millenial who should be summarily executed by being banned IRL from your cell phone or being sent to debtor's prison for your imprudent student and car loans.

Yeah, that's true, but it has resulted in the Millenials being whiny emo babies who can't ever be critisized without throwing a hissy fit. Parents to blame, but it;s the generation that is poo poo.

What I find mildly baffling is that I, a card-carrying member of Generation X, seem more at ease with technology than both the generation before and the generation after me. It's like I'm surrounded by idiots or something.

I agree with this. Previous generation has an excuse because they just never had computers, but next generation are poo poo because they never had to learn DOS or figure out how to fix lovely rear end early windows when it broke all the time. Everything they had is so user friendly that when something doesn't work, all they know how to do is go onto Google Play and leave a 1 star barely understandable review which says something like "fix you poo poo so i can play"

And genX parents overprotected their little babies because they didn't understand that kids need a little bit of adversity to develop into adults. The only real men were the (rightfully named) Greatest Generation, ranging from 1901-1924. All of you pussies are nothing compared to those badass monsters of people.
