Those born from 1978-1983 are considered to be a blend of both millennial and generation x.




Ask those people who the identify with, Gen X or millennials.
You know that 90% are not wanting to be labeled a millennial.

As evidenced by your kids, no, you didn't.

Because in total numbers, there’s a lot less people (especially in the US) than the boomers and millennials on ether end.

I like to look at it as less of a hinderance and moreso as sort of being in the catbird seat.

Over the past few years I've come to the realization that making blanket statements about an entire generation and then structuring debate around it is an entirely pointless, and frankly, idiotic endeavor.

I've interacted enough with all generations regularly bitched about to know that there's plenty of shite to go around, and there is plenty of good as well.

We’re just that good. Fly under the radar and not start a bunch of shite.

Wait till you find out that stereotypes aren't pulled out of thin air and are quite often correct. Doesn't work well for individuals, but for groups...

It's fun to talk about but I think the cultural divide is really people who grew up with the internet, cellphones etc and those that didn't.
