worst generation

i bought zero stupid mortgages but then i dont identify as genX im my own generation u cant define me

i only like pavement i dont love them

i bouht zero stupid mortgages because i am not a sell-out like those other people who were born around the same time i was.

I bought a stupid mortgage and Kurt Cobain is still dead!

you didn't think that would resurrect him?

I bought zero stupid mortgages because I did a ton of research before signing any papers

not a hard rule, but all this bloody internecine generational conflict on ilx makes me realize that the posters i really like tend to be members of my generational cohort.

hah i feel like im more down w/the millenials even tho i voted them the worst

mordy, iatee, lorax, frogbs

a special generation with a special acronym

is lorax a millennial?

he is now

he's not one of ours, that's for sure

I came of age in 1999, fuck all yr generations

ya me too, like my older sister and her friends def fit the genX stereotype better

if you've ever worked in a video store, you're a Gen Xer

GENERATIONS AREN'T BUFFETS

too young for x, too old for y, too weird to live and too rare to die

yeah video store culture is one of those vanished cultures

every measure shows generation x to be shockingly conservative

Couldn't be a reaction, could it?

its almost as if these designations arent perfect

too young for electroclash, too old for vhs feather wave :(

video stores were p sweet *sigh*

of all the generations to be stuck between, I get gen x and millenials :(

if you've ever worked in a video store, you're a Gen Xer

nothing's shocking

a rock and a hard place, imo

It's funny when you think about Stein's meaning about the 'lost generation'. She was referring to all the dead and how hard it was to get a plumber or a mechanic or a builder and then on one side of the Atlantic you have America flexing its new global power and entering into an age of debauchery and growth and in France, you have all these artsy American emigrants playing at being louche or nihilistic.

nothing's shocking

I also blame Perry Farrell

if you've ever worked in a video store, you're a Gen Xer

Does working in a Netflix distribution center count?

i think i know why gen x'ers are so bitter

And since these generations are largely bullshit, anyway, intended for book sales, PR and advertsing pitches, let's just go back and name the others. What's the generation that was born in 1840, generation blood?

I'm either x or y depending on whether 1976 counts as "late 70's" or "70's", shrug

really want to vote boomers almost entirely because The Big Chill and all that boomer bullshit. Fucking HATE that narrative of a bunch of luded out fuckups who blame their entire failure on the world and the war and oh we changed the world and now I just don't know how to deaaaaaaaal maaaaaan. generation of whiny emotional dropouts ignoring their children yay

barf

but millenials are just so fucking entitled

I'm v torn

maybe I should focus my rage on the silents.

I've seen a 1980 birthday cutoff for gen x before

yeah nobody who was born in 1976 is a millenial sorry grandma, you have this:

yeah i thought 80 was the generally agreed upon battle line

i agree that it's 1980. i was quoting wiki in my post way above. wiki is wrong tho.

wiki bullshit

Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western post–World War II baby boom ended. While there is no universally agreed upon time frame, the term generally includes people born from the early 1960s through the early 1980s, usually no later than 1981 or 1982.

Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation (or Millennials or the ME generation), Generation Next, the Net Generation the Echo Boomers are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when the Millennial generation starts and ends, and commentators have used birth dates ranging somewhere from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s, early or mid 1990s, or as late as the mid 2000s. Net Generation, The most common range reflects births from 1980-1999 giving a child born in 1980 time to grow into adulthood and be able to reproduce their own offspring at the turn of the millennium.

i worked at a video store

wait gen Y = millennials?

I thought there was a Gen Y THEN Millennials

ugh these definitions are so stupid

tbf unless you really connect well to only people younger or older there seems to be kind of a 1978ish-1983ish island of people who don't really identify as either

maybe we should call those of u straddling the gen x/millennial boundary "the ilx generation"

max, u are def gen Y
