Well shit, I guess I'm not a genx then, but I'm a millennial

I think 86 mightve been the cutoff but don't quote me on that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Generations cutoffs are a messy thing and the cutoffs are vague(like its already been a few years and the cutoff for gen z is still ambiguous) but generally yeah the cutoff is generally around 1980 or 1979.

Yeah I’m ‘84 - I’m either young gen x or old millennial. I dunno, does it really matter?

I’ve heard the best way to split it is if the person remembers the Berlin Wall coming down. I only remember it as being a semi-recent historical event when I was a kid, which would make me a millennial.

However, my brother is ‘80 and he says he remembers it coming down so that would make him Gen X using this method.

Either way, I like this method better than trying to draw a line at a specific date.

I think the split between boomers and gen x is watergate.

The split between millennials and gen Z would be if a person remembers 9/11.

Covid is probably where I’d put the split between Zoomers and whatever.
