was born in the middle of the 46-64 boomer time period. my high school class was the biggest in my town ever, before or after

The sunshine coast is really unaffordable if you're not an older transplant from the city, there's a decent amount of poverty and drug addiction in Sechelt.

I just Airbnb'd the downstairs of a semi-retired boomer couples house nearby for my wedding anniversary. So I've helped ruin the place for year round working class people I guess lol

We publish a magazine geared toward high schoolers, about college scholarships, budgeting money from your first job, etc.
The last issue had a feature comparing the habits of Boomers, X, Millennials and Z. Representing them were celebrities from each generation.
And they had TOM CRUISE and MICHAEL JORDAN representing Boomers, which, yeah, might be technically true, but C'MON.

she has a few more comics where millennials and z and boomers make an appearance. haven't found one with gen x yet!

Nah, those guys are definitely not Boomers. I will always maintain that the early '60s babies are a transitional generation. After all, a a baby boom cannot last 18 years, that is absurd.
Similarly, people born in the late '70s are not Gen X, they are an in-between generation.

I used to think gen x were the coolest ever but their whole whatever man thing is so played out (no offense) and these days I'm more interested in weirdo fringe boomer survivors who tend to get left out of this discourse. as a millennial our differently-bullshit approach isn't hitting as hard as it used to either and we all have back pain and mental health problems
every post on this thread should be assumed to have an "obviously we all know this is bullshit" disclaimer at the bottom

I identify pretty strongly as Gen X, but I acknowledge our politics overall are shitty. We are the Trumpiest generation: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/20/cherie-westrich-alt-rock-gen-x-maga-00033769
In retrospect, this isn’t surprising. In particular, white dudes my age were in their teens and 20s when the whole backlash against “political correctness” started, when Rush Limbaugh started, when Fox News started. It was attractive to be snarky and cynical in the Clinton era. And then a bunch of those bros got all jacked up on flag waving bullshit after 9/11.

I guess that's my parents - who always seemed vaguely haunted by missing the peak of the counterculture and only encountering it in its disintegrated forms (most notably for them it was west-german stalinism and radfem separatism respectively)
I think more millennials could easily have gone hard right if the financial crisis hadn't hit who it did in the way it did - and hey we still could if they want to buy us out. boomers/pundits who complained about us having been indoctrinated by radical ideology have it all backwards - all you have to do is give us houses and we'll fall in line

sorry to be lazy, but can someone sum up to me the view of "millennials"
roughly 1981-1996. at a spritely 40.9781 years of age, i am one of the oldest "millennials". *reporter voice* but also, what the fuck does that even mean?

If you're a boomer, millennials are all 20-year olds wasting their money on frivolities like iPhones.
If you're a zoomer, millennials are boomers.

It's all Harry Potter. The series seemingly didn't exist at all for people my age (early millennials, Oregon Trail, whatever) but then the books were the cultural touchstone for people born just a couple of years later.

That wouldn't hold true for me ('76) but that's not to say it might for other people.
People complain about millennials needing to "get a job" as if they aren't like 40 years old with 2 kids and a mortgage already. I know such smart and cool people ages 25, 26, 30, and up, so my recommendation is just befriend some young people.
It's possible I really don't understand my 16yo nephew but that might just be because he's a teenager.
