Redefining the generation between X and Millennial

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by rockyroadicecream on Thursday, July 6, 2017 and has 7 replies.
Heard about this today and it seems a bit more accurate. Personally, even though "Millennial" encompasses early 80s to mid 2000s, so many people I know who were early 80s don't relate to the "Millennial" trend as the time frame is just too damned broad.


"We're all tired of hearing about millennials, but there's a new group who we're about to be talking about a lot more.


Defined as the generation born between 1982 and 2004, millennials are aged between 13 and 35. The generation before, Gen X, spanned another 20 years, beginning in 1961 and ending in 1981.


With such a large cohort, it's hard to imagine everyone in these demographics identifies with the perceived persona of these generations...."

Who cares about this dumb shit? I don't know why DXPers are so obsessed with different generations, alpha and beta males, race topics and all this nonsense which are constantly discussed.


I don't need a generation to define me.
Says the guy who consistently proves "Millennial" he is. :p


This is far more interesting than the Kardashian based gossip rags you drool over, dear. Your response just further proves you'd rather embrace ignorance over intellect.


Was just sharing because I heard about this today and it's about time someone addressed the inaccurate time lines of "Millennials" considering it DOESN'T describe a lot of people born within that time frame very well.


Feel free to shit stir elsewhere. I know you're up late and bored and all.
