Brosephine WiresI saw a poll like this last week, but I thought it would be cool to do it again with another major migration underway. Boost so we can get a better sampling.
Boomer
Gen X
Millennial
Gen Z
Poll ended at .
I won’t be voting obviously, but I’m a Millennial (Xennial to be more precise)
Dean Stone@JoParkerBear also a xennial
Pxtl@deanstoneart @JoParkerBear my kids call me a "geriatric millenial" (I will never forgive that Medium article for coining that term for xennials).
Dr Bron Eager@deanstoneart @JoParkerBear thanks for posting this. Never heard of the word. Googled it and found it perfectly describes my analog childhood and digital adulthood :) Never felt connected to the generations that bookmarked my experience. 🙏🙂
@bron @JoParkerBear we exist!
Brent Guernsey, Artrocity StudioAt 60, I feel like I am somewhere between Gen X and Boomer; I think of myself as a Wedgie.
AndyHBoomers are 1946 - 1963 and I'm a proud one of 1962.
troy_friz_zellBorn in 1962, I feel more like Gen Xer, but my father literally fought in WW2. It's impossible to argue I'm not a boomer, but I've never felt it.
Carol@Brentguernsey @JoParkerBear
I think the people born in the early 60s are called 'Joneses' for some reason.

theredelm@Brentguernsey @JoParkerBear I marked myself as GenX We are called Cuspers in Strauss & Howe’s original work. There is some overlap and it really depends which cohort you were exposed to. Also, had I been Silent Generation, I’d have probably not sniped it was missing and chosen Boomer. If any of them are on here, they are likely cuspers at the other end of the Boom.
Alix Maiden-Baillie (she/her)@Brentguernsey @JoParkerBear Same. Technically I'm a boomer, but I grew up as a latchkey kid like GenX. My mom got divorced before it was fashionable.
Marklala@Brentguernsey @JoParkerBear in the end there's nothing really exact about these spans of time

Roth Child@JoParkerBear Team Xennial signing in.
Justin@JoParkerBear I tried to mash the space between gen x & millennial I'd that tells you anything 😆 #xennial
Víktor Bautista i RocaWhat's Xennial? Late Gen X, early Millennial?
Christian Plante@JoParkerBear I just looked up that term, I guess I'm a xennial too, i was born in 77
Tealcisgod04♾️@Christianplante @JoParkerBear I'm '78 and always considered myself to be culturally gen X. But that was when gen X was cool. 😂
Jackie ❤️☮️🇵🇸🇪🇺🏳️🌈🏳️⚧@JoParkerBear
I was born right in the middle of Gen X - 1974.

Tina@BintyMcFrazzles @JoParkerBear Right there with ya 🤗
Stefan Midjich ꙮ҄@JoParkerBear Xennial? Is that a millennial born on the cusp? because that's me. 
Staycee@JoParkerBear Xenniel here too. I'm technically gen x on the poll but sans the cynicism it doesn't really fit 😂
GirlCroosh@JoParkerBear Oregon Trail Gen!
@pseudonymsupreme that might actually cross over two generations! But yes, I ❤️ Oregon Trail
@JoParkerBear It is. I’m either a super young Gen x or a really old millennial. I read an article calling us the Oregon Trail generation because we all grew up playing that in elementary school.
@pseudonymsupreme oh, interesting! I played it in elementary school lol. As for generations, the split occurs between 1980/1981. So I’m an elder millennial, or Xennial, or that other term I refuse to use that describes the oldest millennials
@JoParkerBear 😂 I hear that. I think the Oregon Trail Gen is folks born between 1977-1985 or so.
Jeff Schwartz@JoParkerBear @pseudonymsupreme I played Oregon Trail and I was born in 1970.
Kurtis M.@pseudonymsupreme @JoParkerBear Born in '89 but I remember Oregon Trail in elementary school. Thinking back, it does seem like every year I was in school there was some new thing on computers. There was Oregon Trail, then later it was Math Blasters and Clue Finders. Then this new thing called the World Wide Web popped up, and suddenly there was PBSkids.org and Neopets. Later I got into RTS games like Age of Empires. In high school, MSN then Facebook after graduation to keep in touch with friends
Selah Robb@pseudonymsupreme @JoParkerBear same, even though I never even heard of the game until about 10 years ago. I don't know if it's b/c I'm Canadian, or b/c of the schools I went to.
The Cotb@pseudonymsupreme @JoParkerBear I died of dysentery numerous times in high school and I was born in ‘69.
Kieran@JoParkerBear Gen Z! Yay, there's six of us!
Whiskey Bottle@kie @JoParkerBear And you all need to go clean your rooms before dinner. 😜
@Whiskey_bottle @JoParkerBear Fiiiiiine.
Miss Riss@JoParkerBear baby GenX loggin' on
@ItsMissRiss awww shiiiit
tcduff@JoParkerBear I'm Silent Generation (1944)
Seattlemoose@ted_duffield @JoParkerBear and the fact that Silent isn't on the poll only reinforces the label.
Grimm 
@JoParkerBear I will be following this on the off-chance it will allow me to claim primacy for my generation but I am Generation X so even if I claim primacy I won't give a shit and will do fuckall with my mighty power.
txvoodoo@JoParkerBear Generation Jones, i.e. too old to be considered GenX, too young to feel anything in common with, or represented by Boomers.
SmallTownGirl@txvoodoo @JoParkerBear that’s me too
Woodchaz@txvoodoo @JoParkerBear #GenerationJones also! I don't feel like I fit anywhere. Mom was a Boomer so how could I be one?
scribemarjie@JoParkerBear To clarify: I'm 70 and live in a very red, rural area. Have been a liberal Dem, and voted likewise, all of my life, as have our children. I love young people, and young ideas!
@scribemarjie red places need us the most :)
James JSame, but 20 years younger and in a Blue area :-/
But I also love older people, and especially boomers - they don't get anything like the credit they deserve.
@JamesJ @JoParkerBear Why, thank you!
Lita Xú Líng Kelley@JoParkerBear I been on here since February, but not til recently active. I like this platform much better
@litakelley cool! You can still vote. It doesn’t matter when you joined
Peggy Stuart@JoParkerBear My generation isn't there. Maybe because there aren't very many of us, so we don't have a name. I'm a WWII baby, pre-Boomer. #twittermigration #LetMuskHaveTheBird
Andy Paciorek 💀☕@PeggyStuart
People born between 1928 and 1945 are known as 'The Silent Generation'
My 96 year old father was born in 1926 which lies in 'The Greatest Generation' (or in US sometimes called G.I. Generation) 1901 - 1927
Before that is 'The Lost Generation' 1883 - 1901
There was no official caterorisation prior to that.
It's called the Silent Generation, because they went through the depression and WWII and didn't have a life until 1946.
@AndyHarrison @AndyPaciorekArt I missed the Great Depression, but my parents and in-laws went through it. My BIL was born in '38, so he’s closer. Hubs was born in '41 and I was born in '42. There were/are few of us because so many were gone for the approaching and then the actual war. My father was a preacher and too old to be drafted. My FIL was career Navy and home on leave. Otherwise we would not exist. I think we deserve a separate category. 🙄
@AndyPaciorekArt Silent because there are few of us? (Relatively speaking…or not, since we’re silent?) President Biden is my age. He isn’t so silent. 😁
@PeggyStuart
I think mostly due to lower numbers and as someone else mentioned that formative years were spent in The Depression and/or WWII

@AndyPaciorekArt Yes. My parents had been married for nine years before they could afford to have my brother in 1940. My mother said they lived on oatmeal during the depression.
@PeggyStuart
Hard times indeed. I am fascinated by the dust bowl and have some books of FSA documentary photography of the time.
