[Still-alive]

Would be interesting to see.

Mine are boomers. Born in the late 40s

[MCheetah]

I'm 34 and my "mother" (who I don't get along with and don't talk to) is currently 56 going on 57. So that would be the first of Gen X. My parents are Gen X.

Don't call me a Millennial though; Millennials are literally the worst generation to ever exist in human history. At least Zoomers give me hope for the species. Not the "social justice, non-binary" generation, though. God Millennials are f*cking pathetic...

[DaveToo]

My parents fall under the Greatest Generation. My Dad was born in 1906 and Mom was born in 1916. I and my brother fall under the Silent Generation. He was born in 1940 and I was born in 1945. My two girls are Gen X's. Sam was born in 1972 and Kate in 1977.

[crazyish]

Mom, born in 57, is a baby boomer. Dad, born in 64, could be either a generation x or a baby boomer i suppose.

Yeah my mom is 7 years older than my dad and they married when he was 18 and her 25... their relationship was absolutely scandalous😲🤣

[Catlover1999]

X and I was born in 99. So glad I’m not a millennial- the worst generation.

[Still-alive]

oh really? why?

[Catlover1999]

Millennials are known as the lazy generation with a constant sense of entitlement and the fragile “snow flake” generation.

[Still-alive]

got any examples? some celebrities of that generation that exemplify that perhaps?

[DizzyDesii]

Gen X. Both are in mid-late 40s. I was almost a zoomer but i’m a Millenial

[Still-alive]

26 so 1994 or 95?

[DizzyDesii]

1995

[Still-alive]

Right when the ps1 released that year.. and also Selena quintanilla died that year

[DizzyDesii]

I never really researched anything that happened in my birth year 🤷‍♀️

[Kaneki05]

well they grew up with transformers, star wars, and all stuff like that so guessing 80s? So Millennials.

[Still-alive]

yup sounds about right

[PaynefulPleasures]

Mid 30s

[PaynefulPleasures]

Ty ✌️

[Laciandmaci]

baby boomers. I got stuck being born in 1997 gen Z.

[Still-alive]

You not a fan of gen z?

[Laciandmaci]

nope way to rude, arrogant, and nit picky!

[1stranger]

My dad is silent generation. My mom is baby boomers.

[Anonymous]

I hate being labeled a millennial honestly. One point I even heard that being a millennial meant turning to an adult in the year 2000. I thought that what it meant for the longest time. I think that makes more sense. Anyways I drink Starbucks everyday and feel entitled to the world and have to be social butterfly and most of the reason covid still around spring break my ass. I relate more to old school generation X and I'm 38!

[Apple1996]

My parents are baby boomers but barely they were born 61 and 63

[abc3643]

Yeah, we're really not Baby Boomers. This is why these generation charts are bullshit.

Your parents were born during the Kennedy Administration, like me and President Obama. There WAS a term for us: "Tweeners" because we were born between the Baby Boomers and those born in 1965ish and beyond (what we now call Gen X). Ironically, Gen X is bullshit too because when Douglas Coupland's book "Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture" came out in 1991, the characters were born 30ish. (Coupland is born in December 1961.)

That group that includes me and your parents have also been called "Cuspers" or "Generation Jones".

"
For those of us born in the early 1960s No Man’s Land transition between the Xer’s and Boomers – groups sometimes known to us as twin towers of tedium – we forsaken “in-betweeners” face our mortality after lifetimes of striving in a nameless corner of American life.

We are not Xers, nor are we really Boomers. We’re too early for one, at the tail end of the other. So we make fun of both.

We came into this world at the intersection of black and white TVs and technicolor Camelot – but too young to remember either. To this day, Boomers are identified as being born between 1946 and 1964, but that’s never seemed right to me or anyone I know who is my age.

[Apple1996]

@abc3643 yeah this makes sense I never really thought of them as baby boomers. I feel the exact same way about being classified as a millennial since I was born in 96. I just dont really fit into that group

[abc3643]

My own parents are in a similar boat.
Silent-but-almost-Boomer.
My father was born in 1940 and my mother in 1943.

[jerdanro]

I'm getting really depressed seeing how many of your parents are my age. ;)

[Still-alive]

there are a few with parents my age too

[exitseven]

My parents were WW2 survivors. My father was a POW and my mom was in the Marines.

[RoxyFoxx]

Dad-born 1979 (Gen X)
Mom-born 1982 (Millennial/Gen Y)

[menina]

They're both baby boomers. My mom was born in 1959 and my dad in 1963.

[IAMNathanael]

This graph says they're gen x. And I'm just barely a millienial

[TurboKid]

Father in the latter part of the Silent Generation and my mother the early part of the Baby Boomers.

[TurboKid]

They also had me pretty late: my father was close to 40 and my mother mid-30s. Father was born in Shizuoka, Japan, and mother in West Virginia, US.

[Anonymous]

These ranges are terrible a generation is 20 years. However, my dad was a Boomer and my mother is a Gen Xer.

[Still-alive]

Like it or not this is how the “professionals” define the generations within the past century.

Thers usually some defining event that determines the range like world war ii or exponential birth rate (baby boomer)

[Opinion Owner]

These professionals need to invest in a dictionary.

[Still-alive]

k be sure to tell them that im sure they will listen to you

[Opinion Owner]

I don't expect them to listen to me; but I would hope that they would listen to the Oxford-English Dictionary.

[0112358]

My parents are silent, I'm gen x, my kids are all z.

[ChiTown33]

The silent generation. I didn't even know there was a generation named after the greatest. But before boomers

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My Dad was born in 1941 and my Mom ( late ) was born in 1945

[jamesgoldman]

A boomer dad and a gen X mother with zoomers for kids

[SpiderManFan2002]

Gen X, and me and my brother are both Gen Z.

[Still-alive]

yup you're about that age lol. *feels old* :P

[SpiderManFan2002]

I’m feeling old knowing I won’t be a teenager next year!😂😂

[Wiredone]

My Dad was g. i. generation. My Mom was silent generation. I was born in generation x.
