Gen Z.
This place is a lot older than I expected.
Internet generation, progenitors of current online brainrot. Came too early to experience the 90s in all its glory, and too late for running console-quality games on a 6mm thick mobile device.
At least we have the 2010s to claim for ourselves. Those were pretty cool.
Generation 4, Diamond was my first and my best friend had Pearl
Serious answer, I'm on the border between millennial and gen z
This generation.
points vaguely at everything
I'm not dead yet, AFAIK.
Generation Tamagotchi
Millennial
Gen X
I hate these generational divides. Are we really supposed to think that a person from 1982 and a person from 1994 (both millennials) have more in common than a person from 1994 and one from 1997 (one millennial and one zoomer)? It makes no sense.
If I had to answer, I guess the closest would be Zillenial: born around the mid 90s.
Kinda youngish Boomer; 67 y.o.
Millennial, the one that ruined everything.
Gen X. The generation that couldn't be arsed to programme the video recorder or cooker digital time-clock, but knew how to.
There were a lot of power cuts in our (UK) youth and we remember saying to ourselves, "Ok, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?!". Still kicking arse and taking names.
We were the grown-up's TV remote control, with our 1200 bits per second magnetic tape storage for BBC B home computers (from the later ARM boys), before we got 360kB 5" floppy disks.
Tech doesn't phase us (yet); AI is a better average conversation than a spouse.
As Millennial as Millennial can be, smack dab in the middle of the cohort.
Early Gen X. Just gotta say, the term.baby boomer was tossed around when I was younger but I never heard the term generation X until the 90's, maybe late 90's.
Xenial
Gen Z.
Don't care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.
Miellenial, right in the middle
I'd be cautious that behavior, common experienced events, technology shifts, etc define categories and not the other way around. If the boundaries for generations are arbitrary then inclusion is just as arbitrary and not defined by behavior since behaviors can spread across multiple labels. We all want to belong, but tribalism can be a useful tool to divide humanity against itself. Historic generation labels where distinct boundaries can be observed and defined in an historic context makes sense to me, contemporary generational labels seem like divisive nonsense to me.
Boomer!
SOONER!
Elder millennial
I think this would work better as a poll. If you make one please let me know!
No clue. Everyone called me a millennial until they started calling me gen Z.
I'm on the cusp of genZ and Millennial, but I feel much more Millennial. I speculate that this is because of how I related to technology growing up.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who is like me, on the cusp, but feels gen Z rather than Millennial, and why
The older, but not the oldest one... Gen-X.
