I see a lot of people saying nasty things about millenials lol, a lot of them fair, but still, I'd assumed that most of you were also millenials like me, but maybe not.

So I decided to make a poll.

Also I'd never heard the term Silent Generation before, so I learned something new, and I'm gonna assume no one here is Gen Alpha or Greatest Generation so didn't bother to include those .

Other gens

Gen X

 

[epicurius-seven]

I'm amused how often 'OK Boomer' is deployed at Xs.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Technically a millennial, but was raised with my siblings that are Gen X by a single mother that was born in 1947. I definitely identify with Gen X more.

I will add that anyone born after 1990 seems like a waste oh chromosomes. I'll have a talk with my wife about our kids in the morning.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Here's a hint

 

[Baemono]

The only gen who knows how to use computers but remains poor regardless

 

[jufonuk]

 

[Mohonky]

Technically a millenial; but theres very little I have in common. If I look up things associated with Gen X vs Millenial, Im far more Gen X; I can closer to the crossover point at 1983 though.

What generation are you if you were born in late December 1980?

 

[Boo Who?]

You can hang with us X-Gamers. We will allow it.

 

[Unknown?]

Millennial, born in 88. I've heard silent generation but I thought that was even farther back because it was talking about when movies were silent.

I was born mid 70s so firmly Gen X, my sister was born in the early 80s,like yourself, but she's got most things in common with me and is fuck all like a stereotyped millennial.

 

[Paltheos]

lol at the poll results.

I know we're only at a sample of 55, but 100% of the population is Gen X or Y? There are absolutely no Zoomers on GAF (so far)? Goddamn.

 

[Vyse]

Born in the late 60's. Experienced the rise and fall of arcades, going to 7-11 at lunch to play video games and going from the Atari 2600 to the PS5 Pro. It's been an amazing run.

Zoomers look at message boards the same way we look at Usenet. They're all on Discord now.

The Silent Generation" should be renamed to "The not posting for an obvious reason generation".

Because they're silent?

 

[Idleyes]

Because they're silent?

Because they're most likely dead bro.

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

You should add whatever was before silent, so Topher can vote.

Living the dream. Hanging out with the boys in simpler times.

What a time to be alive for pop culture.

Gen X

 

[Chuck Berry]

And Millenials. Just further proof of how stupid most people are.

Zoomers think the poll is wrong. To zoomers, anyone older than them is a boomer.

 

[Bojji]

Y

 

[Tomorrow]

a filthy millennial.

 

[Decal4]

Because they're most likely dead bro.

yeah...do you have any idea how much work it would take me to get my grandpa to post on this site? I would not only have to get him all the way going with his own account and drop him into the textbox ready to post, I'd also have to explain to him what a video game is and why it is not a pinball game

I see it didn't go over your head that there is a difference between living silence and dead silence.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Firmly millennial (1991)

 

[nightfly]

Millennial, do no Zoomers post here!?

 

[Putonahappyface]

Millennial just (1982).

 

[dem]

Born in 83

I feel much different than someone born in 96.

I had rotary phones. No internet. No helicopter parenting.

I was in the middle of nowhere in Canada. The 80s lasted well into the 90s here.


I remember when my younger cousins born in the 90s had to wear bike helmets.

 

[Dural]

Right at the end of Gen X, born 12/30/79.

 

[Idleyes]

1973. I consider myself built by the NYC '80s, because that's when I started believing nobody could tell me a god damn thing.

 

[Tajaz2426]

Generation X-Men

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Not one zoomer? how is that possible lol

 

[Laptop1991]

Gen X, apart from the age, it's the best one lol, although i am biased

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Millenial here. I 'member when we were the Zoomers. The lazy know-nothings always on their 'puters. Now we're aged and getting blamed for societies ills when I haven't even had a chance to pilfer the society I'm supposedly collapsing

 

[The_hunter]

no zoomers

I wonder, what do zoomers genuinely like to play?

 

[dem]

Not one zoomer? how is that possible lol

I'm pretty convinced only old fucks are on message boards

 

[winjer]

100+ votes and there is only Millennials and GenX'ers.
Most concerning, not one single Zoomer.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

1990 baby

 

[rm082e]

I always thought Gen X cutoff was like 1977, but I don't have any source for that. It was more just a feeling. Over the last few years I've seen a lot of talk about the generational divides, and the cutoff is always listed as 1980.

I guess that makes me the tail end of Gen X, but it doesn't feel like it most of the time when I hear Gen X talk about their childhoods in the 70's and teenage years in the 80's.

I'm just thankfull I was a teenager during the 90's and a young adult during the 2000s - peak American civilization.

We are a cross between the older GenX and millennials. We bridge a gap between them, or so I always found.

In the Marine Corps, I had no problems fitting in with the salty dogs when I joined in 01 or even helping them understand the younger Marines and their more digital lives.

We know analog and digital and it makes us a good hybrid out there in the world.

My wife and I constantly make fun of our kids because their in their late 20's and they look like we did when we hit forty years old.

They stress about the air, while we got under a desk everyday for a nuke. The world could end tomorrow and I would still keep on keeping on.

We killed it in the 90's man!
