Hereafter Vortex Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) I'm too old to be an X'er and too young to be a true Boomer... they call us Generation Jones. At least that's what I read on the Internet. So it must be true. 😜 Edited April 8, 2022 by Winter Dismantled Had a senior moment 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell was I supposed to be keeping up with anyone? 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think I'm a boomer. 😄 I was born in September 1964, so I'm just gonna think of myself as Gen X, 'cuz that fits my personality and friends groups better anyway. Btw, when does the Anthropocene epoch start? Maybe I should just say I'm in Gen Anthropocene? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persephone Emerald Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Yes! I watched MTV when it was actually mostly music videos. My first video game was Simon. My first computer was from Radio Shack, loaded with cassette tapes and played on my TV screen. I learned basic DOS, but never needed to use it. I used AOL dial up. I know how to use a map and a telephone book. I use a cell phone, but it's flip, so I print out directions from Google Maps. This is what a Gen Xer looks like. 😄 Edited April 8, 2022 by Persephone Emerald to add 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find it funny one bit. I never laughed at you. It was light hearted teasing on my part. It doesnt matter what the generation is called, its just the generation you were born into. No one is insulting you. The term "baby boomer" is derived from the boom in births that took place after the return of soldiers from WWII. Its not an insult. Hell, I grew up listening to the oldies station with my parents. I drive my kids nuts by popping on the 50's channel on Sirius XM in the car when I drive them to school. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I couldn't care less if I'm referred to as a boomer. People DO use it as an insult but eh, those are usually from millennials or Gen Zs. Who takes them seriously? 😅 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
