I’m a silent, and the name fits me well. No social activist am I. My only desire is to promote harmony and gratitude for life and avoid trouble if possible.

An example is the Trump guy. I didn’t like him and didn’t vote for him, yet, since he was legally elected I feel that it is a duty to acknowledge him as my president and give him due support. Good citizenship requires that we respect the judgments of the electors.

I suppose I'm a boomer but I don't much identify with anyone, even those I went to school with. I can identify internationally way before I zoom in on current nonsense. People my age normally bore the hell out of me. Young people are fine but not drug users and damn, we sure have enough of them at all levels. I'm an activist of sorts, concerned with national and world events, but equally absorbed in hours or days of alone time just doing my own thing.

I'm a boomer. I was born in 1946, graduated from high school in 1964, Viet Nam was killing and maiming friends who were drafted. I became an activist, hippie, and feminist. I marched protested, raised kids, started getting tattoos, then, knew my odd jobs weren't cutting it, so went to nursing school. I worked as a nurse and midwife, continued activism, met Betty Friedan, read, studied, became atheist and pagan, and remained to this day. I listened to rock music, went to concerts, and smoked weed. Many of my friends have become very religious and conservatives since we are in our 70th decade, so maybe I am becoming atypical in my old age.

I don't think about it.

Boomer. I was born in 1952.

Xennial is a concept I've heard of before. It's for those born between 1978 and 1983. That's who I identify with. I've also heard it be called the lost generation because of the cultural transition between the centuries.

Silent. Career oriented and no activism.

I'm very GenX. I was born in 1974 and I remember the 80s. I found out pretty early on that jobs don't just grow on trees, that University can put a person in insurmountable debt, and that ends rarely meet. Less depressingly I can chart all this technological progress within my lifetime, as I remember the when push button phones, answering machines, and microwave ovens were new things, and the evolution of mobile phones and video games.

This is a sore point for me. I was born in 1967. All my life (until about 10 years ago), I heard that the baby boomers ended in 1964, and GenX didn't start until 1970. I felt like I didn't belong anywhere for quite a bit (my ex-wife was born in late 1964, a late boomer, and acted like we were so far apart, generationally.)

Now, I've been retconned to be Gen, but still can't stop thinking about all the time I spent without a generation. All the good movies and music that I didn't get to have ownership of.

Baby Boomer...

I’m on the older side of millennials, born in 86. Last generation to experience childhood without the internet and first to grow up with it becoming common in our homes. I guess we were the first bunch of kids to start gettin cell phones by our teen years and I’ve heard we were the least supervised generation in history lol. Damn if I had known that at the time Ida really had some fun. Got especially screwed by the 08 recession happening right as I was trying to work my way through finishing college. ?‍ Grunge was still cool growing up but we skipped to the spoiler on Kurt’s life and largely knew it as a cautionary tale as we were gettin into it.

I as born as a member of the silent generation. But, I identify with the protest generation of the late 1960s to mid 1970s.

For my whole life I've thought I was Gen-X and I identified as Gen-X. But "they" keep changing the dates so, depending on whose census you look at, I'm a Millennial now on some of them. Wish they'd stop trying to erase Gen-X so they can lump everyone who's not a Boomer together

Can I say Xennial?
