In a thousand years ... they'll just refer to this period as an extension of our Dark Ages, the period where humanity evolved from prehistoric hunter gatherers to a technological species ... we don't think or act any differently than our ancestors a few hundred years ago ... the only difference is that we have satellites, internet memes and nuclear weapons
I was there Gandalf, one hundred years ago

Oh, is that what the kids are calling it nowadays.
Never heard about "gen alpha" either, let alone any of the later ones.Just another way to divide people
Generational distinctions are a useful heuristic in assessing an individual’s shared experience, but they are not dispositive. Think of how many subcultures for baby boomers exist.
That group in the US experienced the sexual revolution, second wave feminism, the Cold War, the Vietnam War…
But also Reaganomics, stagflation, the dot com boom, 9/11.
The Individual’s reaction and lived experience shapes their Selves, but it’s still useful to know where they were in their lives during those events.
@zoe I like the "forgotten generation" for us Xers. I am policy adjacent in the public sector and we occasionally laugh about how there has never been a policy or program directed at X.
Pepsi's original Pepsi points advertising was aimed at you guys. A lot of Sega advertising was as well during the Genesis-Dreamcast era. If you guys had embraced in you could have Sonic as your mascot.
thus posts like this are made so someone expert like yours @rogermexico@mas.to could help point out the the context of certain denotations. thank you :)
Something I've always kind of been curious about is it just the year that you were born in that matters?
Yes, it’s tied to year. The folks who are on the borders of generations often find themselves torn between experiences.
I have a lot of friends born in 79/80. They often use the term
Xennialinstead of X or Millennial. “An analog childhood but a digital adulthood”Sometimes I hear of Gen X including right up to 82 or 83
Yeah that's kind of where I'm at
Yes
