(Looks at chart)

...I think I'm a Generation Y?

It's hard to tell because it lists several as starting in years that other ones are still ongoing.

Here's my theory. Each generation lasts 12 years. Generation X started in 1967. Millenials started in 1979. Generation Z started in 1991, and Generation Alpha started in 2003.

That'd make me Z. Socially and politically I'd be different though.

According to definitions I am between Generation X and Millennial. I tend to fall more into the characteristics of a Gen X then a Millennial though.

The Baby Boomer generation started around 1943-1946. If each generation lasts 12 years, why are there around 21-24 years between baby boomers and the immediate next generation, Gen-X?

The problem with the internet today is that it's filled with entire generations that did not grow up with the great wisdom of the Wyld Stallyns.

No idea, the numbers are always changing. It's pretty clear I don't fit into any molds though.

Where is PO to say something along the lines of "year-based generational cohorts make absolutely no sense"?

"Millennial" is from the 70s onward from what I've read.

Millennials started either in 1980 or 1984 (depending on who you ask) and Alpha doesn't sound like a thing. In general, everything after Gen X has been a marketing gimmick and the differentiation is meaningless.

Because the Baby Boomer generation was built around a specific event and is thus the only *real* generation of the bunch, while the rest is built around projections of when they have kids and when their kids have kids. It's a meaningless system since a "generation" can really consist of several generations from one family and no generations from other families (ie, a father and a son can both be Gen X or a family can go from Baby Boomer to Gen Y).

I think they call people like us Xennials, otherwise known as the Oregon Trail generation.

I'm guessing you spent your childhood in a time without internet (nes, atari, apple computers, etc), but were just becoming a teenager (9-13) when the internet became a household thing.

Probably born in the mid 80s, yeah?
