If you’re 45, aren’t you technically Gen X? My understanding is that the Millennial generation starts in the 1980s, with Gen X being between 1965 and 1980.
Generations aren’t about hard lines of division. For example, if some was born in December 1979 and another in January 1980, they would have more in common than with someone born in 1975 or 1985.
I was born six months before the millennial cutoff, but I find many of my touchstones align with millennials than with Gen X and then I have some that line up with Gen X.
Ultimately, the utility of generational analysis is degraded with pieces like this. There seems to be something useful about looking at how certain aged people relate to events, but trying to ask about “How millennials are ruining the work place for Gen X” isn’t a good use of that analysis.
I dunno, Ive read many different date start times. Usually i am a millennial, i think only ever saw myself at the end of the x cutoff once. There’s even A goofy tiny 4 year “gen” thing i got lumped into once or twice called xennial. I dunno where i belong. Good thing it’s all bullshit anyway
Aaand the Boomer came out swinging! Bold move cotton! Listen big guy, i know it ain’t your fault, it’s all the lead in the air. Just try not to forget who he is when i send my kid over to mow your lawn next time, k?

My understanding was that “millennial” was first coined to refer to those graduating in 2000.

True, although you are Gen X if you’re 45 years old. You’re 2-3 years older than the oldest millennial.
Right? We’re middle aged, some grandparents.
I think they meant in emotional terms.

So Boomer actually means that they have the mental state of Lead Poisoning?
