Fizzzzle Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 When does "baby boomer" end? 1960? If it does, that means "Gen X" goes from 1961 all the way to 1980. You've got Gen X-ers having Gen-Xer babies, that seems weird. I know Obama considers himself a Gen-Xer and he was born in '61. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same colours as the chart above: So it appears that Gen X is firmly in charge of Canada, now, combining with Millennials to make up the majority. Interestingly, there is one Zoomer in Parliament, elected in 2019 in Quebec (20 years old). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the fairly standard definitions are: Silent: 1928-1945 Boomer: 1946-1964 Gen X: 1965-1980 Millennial: 1981-1996 Zoomer: 1997-Present (2022?)

There tends to be a 3-5 or so year “blend” in between generations, like, if you’re born in 1983 you may relate to Gen-X on some things and millennials on others.

Fizzzzle Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'm fine with Boomers being '45-'60. I'm fine with Gen-Xers being '66-'80. Then millennials are '81-'95/6/7/whatever. I just think we need a hard rule that we can't label a generation that is so long that you have a lot of parents having kids in the same generation. Boomers can't go all the way to '65. Gen X-ers can't go all the way back to '60. '61-'65 should be a neutral zone. We need hard rules, people. These things matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't unless there's "a lot" of 18 year olds born in '45 having kids in '64(for Boomers). And with Gen X, that's a 15 year span... so... how many Gen Xers had Gen X children? It would have had to have been by or before they were 15 if they were born in '65. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The only litmus test for being a millennial is A) you remember and were at least aware of what was happening on 9/11, and B) you didn't have internet as a kid, but you got it while you grew up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that if you have Gen-X starting in '61, then they're 20 years old by the time Millennials start. If you have them start in '65/66, then Boomers are 20 years old by the time Gen-X stars. If I had to pick a side, I'd say Gen-X starts at '61, since it makes me think of people like Mark Kelly, Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert, Kamala Harris, Jon Stewart, etc, who are very much "gen-x" in terms of beliefs and personality. Or Sean Hannity, whose beliefs are very much reactionary to post-boomer ideology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomers started in 46 and ended in 64, which is 18 years, not 20... So, I have no clue what point you're trying to make since your start dates don't exist and there's no "side" to choose from.

PaladinSolo Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Like we won't know till after the run-off but there is definitely some "Why vote if its rigged" running through the GOP, and some "Neither one of these 2 helped Trump when he needed them!" towards both GOP candidates there as well.
