As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I’m trippin or there actually is one.
A big tech transition generation.
X.
I’m gen X. I definitely feel that Boomers are from a different world. I felt we got a shit deal but that just got worse for millenials then gen Z. To me, I feel like I can relate to generations that followed me. They’re pissed off and they should be.
The electrochemical kind
Well I have kids your age, so a literal generation gap? Yes.
I think Lemmy has age diversity, more so than other platforms.
i mean, its a good thing
I was born in 2001, what does that make me?
Pretty sure Gen Z
That’s so lame 😔 you mean my years of reading books, playing original Pokemon games on java phone, reading Barefoot Gen manga and loving Down the Waterfront were wasted because I came to exist at a time when my entire generation is from Ohio?
Ha, that’s a mood; I have a theory about how the millennial/gen Z practical cut off is especially socioeconomically dependent — as you describe, it’s possible to resonate with millennial motifs way more depending on where you grew up. I think you effectively demonstrate how limited generational categories can be, especially if we treat them like hard boundaries between groups
Yeah exactly, you absorb what you grow around in and learn from that. There’s no guarantee that just because you were born in a generation that you would behave according to the mainstream stereotypes of that generation
Gen Z.
This place is a lot older than I expected.
Internet generation, progenitors of current online brainrot. Came too early to experience the 90s in all its glory, and too late for running console-quality games on a 6mm thick mobile device.
At least we have the 2010s to claim for ourselves. Those were pretty cool.
Z gang
Generation Tamagotchi
millennial
Gen X / Xennial, analog childhood, digital adult hood.
End of Millennial or first of Gen-Z, although I feel a lot more like Gen-Z.
Gen Z.
Don’t care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.The older, but not the oldest one… Gen-X.
Semi-related anecdote…
During the debates my wife made a joke that Biden is so old he’s not even a Boomer. We then gave each other a look and pulled out our phones to check. Turns out it’s true, he is from the “Silent Generation”.
I think most of his cabinet colleagues wishes he would be.
My parents were too but they were anything but. 1920s and 1940s.
