    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.
