    They seem happy to be ignored. In my experience they act either like boomers or millennials; depending on which group they are closer to.

      You can’t just go around denying generation theory like that! We must have in groups and out groups! The media won’t stand for this insult!

        I was born in 81, so which group I “belong” to seems to change depending on who I’m talking to.

        An older person will usually say I’m a Millennial and accuse me of being a bleeding heart liberal who’s trying to bankrupt the country, but a younger person will often call me a “boomer” and accuse me of being a right wing conservative who is destroying everything America stands for and is worse than Hitler lol

        It’s exhausting quite frankly

          hey that’s me! or am I you?

          but yes, same. Old people at work shake their head at me. Young people at work shake their head at me.

          That said - more and more I find myself relating to the younger ones, even the fresh Zoomers entering the workplace.

            Yeah I’m kind of the same lol! Although the Zoomers get really irate when I point out that they’ve over used “boomer” so much that it effectively has no meaning any more lol

              Well that became apparent when people started calling Biden a Boomer over student loans or whatever at the time. He’s older than Boomers.

          80 here. I claim xennial. I like the social progress millennials gave us but I can’t stand their culture, especially their comedy. It’s painfully bad. “Gee my life sure does suck!” yeah real funny Hunter, good job.
