OT So, That's Your Generation

[Fairly-Hard]

I am giving you the reasoning that they didn't list those generations. I'm not sure how many times I have to tell you that generations are not specific to individuals. It is the sum impact of that generation, their purchasing and labor impact as it relates to their economic impact. There aren't many people of that generation alive, so they are not considered to be a generation worth much economic consideration any longer.

Speaking of losing respect, you are taking this far too personally.

I see.

You don't have a leg to stand on.

Got it.

Heheh. Whatever you need to tell yourself...

I like the generation chart that includes the Xennial category, which is usually somewhere in the range of 1977-1983 or 1975-1985, so that includes me right at the end. Analog childhood and digital young adulthood into adulthood. I really do feel like I was in the last generation to grow up with those hokey meme lists you see online - play until the streetlights came on (or dark), traditional Saturday morning cartoons, recording songs off of the radio, learned to record Inspector Gadget off of the TV on the VCR by the time I was five, didn't have a cell phone until I was 18 (one of those Nokias with the changeable faceplate), dial-up internet.....sort of like a bridge generation with traits of both Gen X and Millennials.

I don't think it's technically recognized, but it makes me feel good.

I was born in '88 and feel very similar, like the term doesn't really reflect my adolescence. But I guess it's not really up to me, idk.

There are really only 3 generations:

1) Talkin' 'Bout My generation
2) My God You're Ancient generation
3) Get Off My Lawn generation

All of this.

Had the same Nokia, had a translucent blue faceplate. Kids these days would look at that like WTF?!

Exactly all that, Chris. I think I was in the minority being somewhat a latchkey kid and my parents not having much money for their 5 children... I can think of only a handful of my peers that rode their bike around town as much as I did, causing harmless problems.

Upper right picture was the clock radio during my school years. The smurf glass in the upper left my wife still has.

Those things were indestructible. Campfire was the only way I’ve seen one destroyed.

At least the kid was exhaling.

My best buddy broke his on Christmas day after it slid into the crevice of a recliner. He crushed it in the inner workings of a lazy boy. His parents were not happy.
