Which Generation are You?

I have heard this talk about generation z and this and that but, never really heard anyone explain the reason for it to me. I guess the number of birth years that any one generation includes can vary. Millennials have a span of 16 years and Generation X did too but the boomers had nineteen. The silent generation has an 18-year range. So it reads like this: Silent = 1928-1945 Baby Boomers = 1946-1964 Generation X = 1965-1980 Millennials = 1981-1996 Generation Z = 1997-2012 The reasoning behind this differentiation is that in 2019 the Pew Research Foundation set down these generations to help researchers see how coming of age during some historical events and some technological changes and how this influences the way they see the world. I am a Baby Boomer. Not sure I like that moniker but can't change it. What is yours?

I'm technically a Baby Boomer but fit more into the Gen X group. I was born in October 1963. I hate being told "MY" generation ruined everything for everyone else... "I" didn't have anything to do with the events that supposedly "ruined" everything.

I would say that is pretty rude. You are totally innocent.

@celticeagle Thanks.... Even Pretty has told me how my generation ruined everything by always demanding more money for the jobs we do... I accepted raises as they were offered. I just don't understand how that's ruined anything.

I was born in 1983, so I'd fall into the militias range. But I was raised by the silent generation, they're about. My parents were actually born in 1920 and 1921 respectively, so they don't fit any mentioned range. I just went to the closet recordded.

@celticeagle I think most of us were. Though, given my age I shouldn't have been. I just lucked into it. Grateful for it, too. I was raised with morals and values you don't really see much of anymore.

@kaylachan ........Yes, I was raised by my grandmother and so I was infused with morals and values too. I am thankful. They sure don't raise them like they used to.

I guess it has to do with the technology of that generation.

@celticeagle Maybe. When we were kids there weren't any computers or the internet in India.

I'm technically a Millennial, but as a person born in 1981, I don't really like that association.

I'm a millennial child, born in the late '80s raised in the 90s through the big tech boom. Had Myspace, Facebook, had iTunes when Apple came out with the iPods, iPads, and of course iPhones.
