Thomas H Jones II@ferricoxide @MissingThePt I’d want to see the results of the poll, but I can’t bring myself to check any of those boxes for some reason.
Roadskater, Ph.D.@AustinB @ferricoxide @MissingThePt There it goes. I never felt like I was either Boomer or GenX so have long resented such clumsy Wikipedia-style labeling. (For reference. I was 6 months old when JFK was assassinated.) So.... not voting, although I think all the generations are whiny in their own terrible ways.

The term "Generation X" was originally coined for people born in 1961-64, who were part of the demographic baby boom but were left out of it socially. I don't know how it got applied to the whole post-boom generation.

Weird, because, prior to GenX, the generational cohorts sociologists *targeted* were generally 20-year chunks. Wasn't until technology accelerated things that that changed to 15-year chunks (even there, you have sub-cohorts like "Xennials"). That acceleration also caused them to retroactively decide, "no, there's actually 'Boomer I' and 'Boomer II' sub-cohorts".
