Gen X is the generation of people who are pissed off their parents are assholes. Millenials are pissed off at all the work we have to do.

The guy that tweeted it doesn't understand that he's a millennial, not gen X (born 1984)
xdeepsearch
He doesn't appear to be claiming he's gen x, just thanking then for their service
palmo
He's wrong either way. Gen X are middle aged now, they aren't the apathetic youth. They're the Karens.

Do people realize here the age range for gen X? Or are most yall 41-60?

No Gen X is 60 yet. Gen X is roughly people born late 1960's to early 1980's...

Saying ill play longer next time and never coming back

An hour at a time is how I beat Shovel Knight with all the expansions. Totally worth it.

Got my #2 about 10 days ago. Today I wore a mask to an outdoor 5k run walk, if that tells you anything about my state of mind. Took it off

When we started spreading out but it still felt weird and naked.

Seriously contemplating always using a mask in crowded places going forward. This has been one my healthiest years. They work.

Millennial here too. I got my first shot in December, second in January, and I still wear a mask daily.

I was born in 81. I'm a bastardized version of both millennial and genx
wrinklyflute
I’ve heard people who were born between late 70’s to early 80’s referred to as xennials or the Oregon trail generation :)
thevortexmaster
Yep I've heard that too. All depends on the source anyways. Harvard home studies say millennials start at 84
wrinklyflute
I was born just outside the window so I’m technically a millennial, but I feel like an Oregon trailer at heart.
thevortexmaster
Hahaha I getcha. I have 2 millennial brothers and I'm nothing like them

There's always a bit of smear in the cutoffs...born in 75 and I kinda feel the same way.

According to Wikipedia, the gen x cut off is 1979. The youngest gen x ers are 42 this year.

You’re damn right we are! It’s rare now I’m the youngest in a group, so I’ll take it.

"A part of" and "apart of" have opposite meanings.

I'm an early millennial too. I feel we're a weird grouping. Technology changed so much so quickly in the 80's and 90's... 1/2
Green223
that the life experiences of millennials based on age and family income tend to vary wildly compared to earlier generations. 2/2
Penthesilean
1980 is included. Did you actually read the source you’re citing?
notyourpartner
A couple of years ago. It seems someone doesn't like being called a millennial so they change the date every now and then.
Penthesilean
That’s not what happened. Don’t make up conspiracy theories to avoid admitting you were wrong.
notyourpartner
I have looked a couple of times. 1980 (my birth year) changes on the page. It is the problem with letting everyone curate.
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
I am definitely a Gen Xer (born in the 1970's) but I ALWAYS thought it was roughly people born from late 1960's to early 1980's...
clide005
I'm 39 and I look upon my junior millenials and I'm most proud. A little confused. But I think most are the products of there age. Frugal1/2
TomahawkJackson
There's definitely overlap. I'm a '68 Xer, but never dated '65-'68 "Xers" until my wife, b/c (IME) *most* '65-'68s still grew up as boomers!
clide005
2/2 accepting of others quirks, but also really into weird sex shit. Which I think is for the best since fucking in cheap entertainment.
SisyphusLivinLife
Same age. Same observations. Brother/sister we are the Oregan Trail Generation IMHO hah.
fanelian
I am 39 and I never played the Oregon trail. I feel like I've missed something important haha.
SisyphusLivinLife
Oh no, the first flaw in my system. Never had someone say they didn't. I remember it being in a classroom on a real old apple heh.
KillerTofu615
I'm 34 and believe the weird sex shit is because for us there's no reason to procreate. Most people I know of my age refuse the idea of kids

back from where. If this is your big social issue of the day, you need to read a newspaper

It's not. Being proud of a time period you happen to have been born in is small, divisive, and fucking boring.

This entire post is a lighthearted joke, you're the boring one.

Again it aint that serious.

Pretty sure the animal crossing group is mostly millennial, you know, since it was our nostalgia boner. Also I seea lot of X partying

You see a lot of 40 – 55-year-olds partying?

Generational politics distracts and refocuses energy away from the real issue of class and wealth inequality.

True. Stupidity does not have a set age group, and neither does Animal Crossing. I'm 55 and my AC island is my calm escape.
Soberyn
What's your dream code?? Can I go check it out???
mmontour
I’m Gen X and I play Animal Crossing. No restaurants, bars, movies, concerts, etc. for me until I and those around me are fully vaccinated.
jmuije
Not even after, because the local governments are rushing ahead with reopening before it's safe!
SoSorryImNotEvenCanadian
I think you're confusing who X-ers are. From oldest to youngest it's Boomers-> Gen Xers->then Millennials-> after which...Y ? I think.
MissAizea
Millennials are Y, you're thinking of gen z
SoSorryImNotEvenCanadian
Ah yes it's Z thanks.

oldest gen z are 26 now and have their own kids. Youngest are like... 11? Ish. Generations are wack yo.

Fuck. I'm gen Z? Cool I guess.

Sorry you're getting downvoted. You're right, Gen X is the middle of Boomer and Millennial
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
I see a lot of gen x partying. Many of my neighbors have people over every weekend
SoSorryImNotEvenCanadian
Are you sure you're not confusing the terms. Gen X-ers are old AF. Gen Zs are in their 20s
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
They're not old, they're in the forties and fifties. Which as I type makes me seem old AF
SoSorryImNotEvenCanadian
hehe. I know, I was little too glib with that description for someone so close to top of the Millennial bracket
mormacil
How old are your neighbors?
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
In their forties or fifties. Old enough to have grown up kids
mormacil
Forties can be Gen-Y but yeah probably Gen-X
Duskz
Gern x is showing as 1965 to 1980 from what I'm seeing........... ??
NomDeImguerre
Yeah, so before Millenial, 1981 to 1996.

Partying is for young people. I’m too tired for that shit.

Young people are the ones dominating the party scene. When Miami was desperately imposing curfews, it wasn’t to get Xers off the streets.
im25ok
True but most of the anti-mask Karens and Kevins are gen X
iamthisguy247
If we’re being honest, there are idiots in all generations. The young people on spring break were GenZ. But there are GenXs having friends >

Every generation is packed full of idiots. We’ve always under estimated just how idiots surrounded us.

The youngest millennials are 26. It's not them partying.

Speak for yourself. 28 and I’d be partying if it weren’t for quarantines
BillyBobThortonHearsaRogerDaltrey
so you aren't partying...
AMBM2
Yes. I am parting in my head and living in denial
destinoz
I didn’t say anything about millennials. Young people party a lot, this is true across generations and, evidently, during a pandemic.
MissAizea
Yeah, but you were implying it. Millennials aren't the young folk anymore. Gen Z is.
destinoz
I implied no such thing. I was picturing college kids on spring break that recently dominated headlines and described exactly that.
celticlich
Gen X, angry as fuck, vaccinated and proud of it.

As a gen x'er, my generation was once described as cynical. But as a generational middle stepchild, I think we're just realists.
