some say it is those born between 1968 and 1975, others define us by our demograohic. are you a gen X'r? i was born in 1971 so any way you cut it, Im GenX. You? |
+1 I love me some muscle cars. I can't stand these new cars. A car that I will one day own is a 1970 Mustang Mach 1 with a 428CJ.  It is the car of my dreams. But as my first car which I'll be buying sometime within a year from now will be probably whatever beater muscle car I can get my hands on. Screw fuel economy.

 The greyhound's rocking out tonight
To maximum rockabilly When two punks chose to risk the subway For a tube to Picadilly The Zephrys stir fast gangs for glory Another dumb casualty Having fun In South West six Hidden flick knife flicks Kiss me, deadly, tonight Another battle was won and lost Down The Bishops End last night Spotlights pick the kids in triumph With a thousand scarves in flight, see how they run Spring from the terraces in black and white Young and old into the fight Having fun In South West Six With violence for a fix Kiss me, deadly, tonight Seven o'clock they stand in rank For the thirty bus uptown And later in a downstairs room She pulls her lover down In ecstacy but they can't make a sound Case her mother might come down Having fun In South West Six Discovers teenage sex Kiss me, deadly, tonight (guitar solo) The Snooker Hall is empty Cause they're all out playing pool Hustling down the Fulham Road Doing deals with Mr.Cool Well They're on the waterfront now instead of being at school Too old now, even to dig pinball Having fun In South West Six Having fun When a hidden flick knife flicks With violence for a fix Discovers teenage sex Tried shooting up for, kicks Kiss me, deadly Kiss me, deadly Kiss me, deadly Kiss me Kiss me, tonight |

So I was at Costco today and on checkout I noticed a sign on the counter "You cannot buy alcohol if you were born on this day after 1986", (or something like that) so I said to my wife - "Oh, my God, my fuckin Nintendo can buy booze, and it could for the last two years." Not much makes me feel old but knowing that my video game that I got at Target as a kid is legal, really gave me a little pause. Gen X, I guess? To define Generation X - I was born during Vietnam, and I grew up in Arcades and in an era of commercialism that let to a global economy that withered the United States of our manufacturing capacity for cheaper goods that now plague our dollar. While none of this crap is our fault; Are we are the generation to clean up after the dirty hippies and make this country work again? It's like we are the cinder block generation, a firm wall between the "old ways" and the "digital lazy days". |
I am wasted off my ass and even then I know you failed teh high school biology// XY= malez, booze, penis and lulz XX= lesbo sex, doughnut punching and bloody period induced coma |

No, the cohorts aren't evenly spaced out. You look at for peaks and somewhat discrete clusters of behavior. The "Gen X" folks are in a narrow window, more so than usual. Boomers were a in a cohort that lasted a lot longer (20-22 years by some estimates). And again, 1965-1970 doesn't quite fit. |
Nope, it doesn't work that way. There are 'inbetween' generations every so often - they usually last 10 years. Like between the boomers and Gen X there is Generation Jones - they are the ones who were in college during Reagan's first term. Gen Y is 1983 to 1997. |
Possibly a little earlier than 1983 ... but basically right. Do much demographics? It's more of a hobby these days (not much use in my second career) but I keep up. |
