I am from millennials but i have also more things from z generation

 

[Dioica]

I'm really surprised there are pretty much no zoomers at all here. I knew it'd be almost all millennials but thought there'd be a few zoomers at least.

I'm a millennial.

I swear, up to the early 2000's the classification for being part of 'gen X' was 1965 to 1981, with 1982 being the start of the millennial generation. But this shifted for some unknown reason (unknown for me) to 1965 to 1980. For the longest time, I assumed I was part of generation x. I was born February 14th 1981. Right at the cusp of the re-classified millennial generation.

Who are the authorities on these generational classifications anyway? What group is responsible for deciding when a generation starts and ends? Where do they even come up with the non-forward thinking naming schemes?

I'm the generation who loves physical games, cartridges, scan lines and 25 cent microtransactions.

I'm barely an X technically but I feel much more attached 70s media than 90s so there's always an element of personal attitude.

'X' was chosen for effect rather than logic, then they just went 'shit well I guess the next one's Y'.

Aren't we the generation that invented trigger warnings and safe spaces and non binary? I'm not sure we are that cool. Cooler than gen z for sure but that's a pretty low bar.

 

[Liopleurodon]

Millenial.

Born 1989.

But I must say that I still have a hard time believing that I actually lived in 80s too, even if it was only for several months.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Gen X.

The one who ruined every generation afterwards.

Sorry.

Xennial was used for the transition period between the too cause they're so similar at the end of X and start of Y.

 

[Artoris]

only one Zoomer how is that even possible

 

[Sticks]

Zero doomers

Who is it, and how do we oust them? Bloody kid(s), ruining our polls.

I'm a millennial.

I'm not at all, so much of Neogaf's discussion of culture is "why can't we go back to...?" Or "they used to know how to make films/music/TV" ...that's what old people say.

 

[IntentionalPun]

I'm Gen-X but really don't identify with much of anything Gen-X related. I had access to computers/the internet at a really young age so in that way I'm like a millennial but I also don't relate well to them either.

I wish we could go back to not talking about this shit all that much.

Millennials in particular seem ultra obsessed with identifying themselves as such and never seem to shut up about it. "Oh wow we've lived through so many hardships!" Yeah everyone older than you still alive also lived through that shit you weirdos lol

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Gen X is 1960s what?

Thought gen x was zoomers and the latest is these gen z clowns

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Born in the 80s, watched cartoons, witnessed kids sobbing in the theatre at Optimus Prime being killed off, first album bought with pocket money was by Genesis , thought making fart noises in class would make me popular, recorded songs on the radio with cassettes, always forgot to rewind the VHS tapes.

There's no governing body, but folks typically go by whatever the Pew Research Center decides for the year delineations.

So coincidentally all the zoomers just abstained from voting? I don't think there are zero zoomers, but the fact the percentage is so tiny is surpising.

Obviously I know that 1 zoomer in the poll doesn't translate to 1 zoomer on the whole site. It's still an even tinier percentage than I expected.

Millennials are the most disappointing generation alive yes. Completely subservient and devoid of critical thought. We adopted all the same beliefs our parents had and doubled down on them. The npc meme was made for this generation.

I'm technically a 'Zillennial'. Which makes sense because I relate far more to the zoomers than the millenials, even if I am a year out as being categorised as one.
