Sorry kiddo

[Fusselkater]

Hmm, my email adress was named generationY@***.com. But that was 18 years ago, now I'm 35. From my point of view everyone below 28-30 belongs to Generation Z already.

This is a lot of my childhood there and I'm just about 22. Maybe I grew up really fast..or slow..I can't really decide.

Wikipedia is there to put an end to the classification debate of the different generations:

Generation X (also known as the 13th Generation and the Baby Busters)[14] is the generation generally defined as those born after the baby boom ended.[15] The term generally includes people born during all or part of the 1960s: According to Strauss-Howe generational theory, 1961 is the starting point, though other sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, consider it to have started in the mid-1960s.[16][17] It ends in late 1970s to early 1980s, usually not later than 1981[18][19][20][21] or 1982.[22][23][15][24] The term has also been used in different times and places for a number of different subcultures or countercultures since the 1950s.[25]

Generation Y, the Millennial Generation (or Millennials),[23][26] Generation Next,[27] Net Generation,[28] Echo Boomers,[29] describes the generation following Generation X. As there are no precise dates for when the Millennial generation starts and ends, commentators have used birth dates ranging somewhere from the mid-1970s[30][31][32][33][34] to the early 2000s (decade).[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Experts differ on the start date of Generation Y. William Strauss and Neil Howe use the start year as 1982, and end years around the turn of the millennium,[43][44] while others use start years that are earlier or later than 1982, and end years in the mid-1990s.[35][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] One segment of this age-group has often been called the “eighties babies” generation, in reference to the fact that they were born between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1989.[57][58][59]

Generation Z, also known as Generation I, or Internet Generation, and Generation Text,[60] and the "Digital Natives" by Marc Prensky and is the following generation.[61] The earliest birth is generally dated in the early 1990s.[62]

Can we talk about something else, now?



What about these memories:
