What generation are you?

[Calhoun07]

I know we have how old are you questions here from time to time, but I was wondering what generation are you. I mean like Baby Boomer or what ever, not what generation you are in your personal family.

Me? I am proud to be a member of Generation X.

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm not sure. I'm 19, so what generation does that put me in?

[Spookmonkey]

I'm in the X squad. I think, I sure as hell don't want to be a part of "Y"

I'm 30, which puts me on the young side of Generation X, a name that demographers used because they couldn't think of a meaningful one.

We actually talked about this in Fizzix class the other day. We're areound 16-18, called Generation Y. This is the digital age, according to a report.

[Kal-el]

What is the actual age breakdown for the generations. I know I'm an X-man, but what is the cut-off for Xers and Ys?

[Nightflower]

No, I don't think there's a Generation Z. Heck, I'm not even sure there's an accepted Generation Y, the phrase isn't as commonly used as Generation X.


Um.... I'm in whichever generation the 18/19 y/os are in right now.. :p

[JohnCrichton]

Clocking in at an impressive 25 years of age I come just under the wire to be of Generation Y, instead of X like I thought....

[Jedigreedo]

I could be considered as part of a Generation?? :eek:

[Ajax]

I am sixteen. So that makes me part of the.....generation Y? :confused:

[Chris Sanders MSX]

So I'm in Gen Y, I guess.

[Outlander00]

I don't fit in anywhere... hence the name :D

[Anubis C. Soundwave]

Generation, that is. I'll be 26 this December. Old enough to remember G1 Transformers, 1980s He-Man, and Thundercats as new shows.

I know that I have two X chromosomes. :D

[Barb Gordon]

I'm with the 18-19 people as well. Y, X...why can't we all just get along? ;) I'm actually a bit of all generations when I think about it. This I'm attached to more things in different generations then mine own.

[Spookmonkey]

isn't Y 1981+?

[jeffrey 228]

1984 I think the 80's generation is my thing.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

If you're in your 20s, most likely you're still Generation Y. Generation Xers would be the cast of "Friends"-- thirty something people going on 40. Baby Boomers are starting to become seniors now...yes, it's happening, believe it or not.

Most of us here are Generation Y. A few of them are on the young side of X, but most are Y.

Though many have classified people born in the mid to late 80s the "me" generation.

[Andy Mancini]

Here's the way I always understood it:

Baby Boomers - 1946 to 1964
Generation X - 1965 to 1977
Generation Y - 1978 to 1995
Digital Generation - 1996 to Present

I'm barely in the "dreaded" Generation Y. I was born in 1981.

[James]

Generation X. And neither happy or embarrassed about it. It just is - or was. Now you've made me feel old!

[Matt Hazuda]

I'm 21, so that makes me a Genration Y kid(born in '81). I've also heard the term "Echo Boomer" for this generation, but I guess 'Y' stuck.

[wonderfly]

I coulda swore the Gen. X phrase was started in the late 80's. Thus, I thought that if you were a teenager in the late 80's, you were part of Gen. X. Which I guess would make me a part of Gen. X. ugg, I wanted to escape being labeled a letter of the Alphabet.

Heck, I thought we were called the MTV generation, (though that's another name I dreaded). :(


HEY!!! POST 300!!! WOOHOO!!! :)

[Chris Wood]

Tail end of Generation X, so I guess I relate to Y as well.

[Brainatra]

I was born in '75, which probably puts me in at the tail end of Generation X...though I think one reason for the confusing terms is when first introduced, they didn't use the year range as much as they did just labelling anyone in their 20's as "Gen-X"...'

According to this, I'm in Y, but I'd think the Digital one ould be back farther.

yeah, especially when Leaping Larry Jojo said Gen Xers are going on 40! :( I am older than most posters here, but not that old! I guess I am on the young side of Gen X.
