Same. I like the term “Xennial” for those of us who were born I’m the early 80s. I definitely feel like I am both X and Millennial sometimes.

As @Zagorath mentioned, its a pokemon thing. Those happened to be the current gen game when I was of the age of interest in them.

As Millennial as Millennial can be, smack dab in the middle of the cohort.

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.

Also Gen X UK person here, I remember in the 90s when that hurricane made it over from the US, and we had no power for 9 days.

My dad went full survivalist, we ate nothing but baked beans cooked on a camping stove, and he got this portable black and white TV from somewhere that we could watch for an hour a day because it ran off a car battery lol.

Greetings fellow traveler! [I’m an early model X - late sixties].

Are you taking about the Michael Fish, ‘There isn’t going to be a hurricane.’ blunder? Sevenoakes became Oneoak! 1987 perhaps? I really don’t remember that, would you remind me, please?

I’m talking about the 1970s strikes which cut power to the whole country for sets of three or four days; Ted Heath being reacquainted with the role of the electorate before they all became Tony Blair-esque dopey smiling useless clones in 1992 ish (until we found out about Major-Curry (hehe!)). Going shopping with candles on trolleys, thawing food in the freezers.

Lorindol ,

We X’s were born into the analog world and grew up as the digital age started to emerge. We have the luxury of knowing both.

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.

Lemmy_2019 ,

Hello fellow kid. I remember Pepsi Generation and MTV Generation. But you’re right, Gen X didn’t start in earnest until the 90s, I’m pretty sure.

Fun fact, Generation X originally applied to Boomers.

Millennial, the one that ruined everything.

Gen Z.
Don’t care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.

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.
