As well they should. Like most Gen Xers, I hate boomers and millennials equally.
lol May I ask why that is?
They're both self-centered as fuck. They think everything is about their old and young asses lol. I feel almost slightly somewhat bad because my parents are boomers and my DS and my sister are millennials, but hey, I don't make the news, I just report it. Both groups are tied for the absolute worst.
Huh, I just realized I'm a millennial whose dad is from the silent generation. I always considered my parents baby boomers, but yeah, he was born a month before VJ Day.
How the fuck to people between 70 and 87 identify as Boomers? 70, OK, they were born in 1945, they can be the very beginning of the Boomers. But people before that? No. 87-year-olds were born in 1928. NOT BOOMERS.
My mother was born in November 1945 and identifies as a Boomer. She says it's legit because the war was over.
But there is a big difference between her experience in college from 1964-1968 then people even four years younger.
She only missed it by 2 months, didn't she? I thought boomers were 46-64?
I'm 30 and call myself Gen Y. I didn't start hearing the term Millenial in time for me to apply it to myself.
Yeah I think millennial is a pretty new term so I spent most of my adulthood calling myself gen y. When I think millennial I think mid to low 20 somethings rather than people my age (early 30s). It's actually fairly recently that I realized gen y = millennial.

Yes.
But it's how I like to say I'm not.a millennial and I was born in 1980. I think people on the cusp/edges of the generations might not identify as strongly with them.
I asked him if he ever had a $1,000/month student loan bill and basically told him to STFU.
This is EXACTLY what I told my parents when they started doing the whole "give us a grandkid" dance.
I just wanted to say I'm in this club too. My mom was giving me crap about giving them a grandbaby back when we were so broke dh was eating ramen for lunch like every day and there were some days I took an oatmeal packet as "lunch." I wanted to ask how I was supposed to pay for this child she wanted when I could barely feed myself especially after my student loans kicked in and I was making $10 an hour and putting most of that in my car as crazy high gas prices to get to my job.
So what are people who are 45-50? Are those boomers? Because at least in my experience at work those are by far the most frustrating people to have to deal with.
I feel like a generation is too big. But probably because if you are at either end if it, you relate a bit to the adjacent group. I just don't feel like I am on the same planet as someone turning 50. Similar to how someone here who is 34, feels odd about being lumped with a 21 yr old.
