Wait... I thought generations were 25 years. Why are those 14 year increments? (except gen z which is 17? alpha is 12?) Who came up with this?

I'm starting to think you humans have no idea how to count yourselves!

The main reason Bob can slip under the wire is that there are a few people (scholars? groups? whoever decides these things) who say Gen-X should run from 1965 to 1984 to match the 20 year spans of the Boomers, Gen Y, and the Silents. Personally I think the dividing line is fuzzier than that, chiefly being people who largely or completely avoided the internet until college or later (as a solid Gen-X'er, I did not have an email address until I was a freshman in college, and only barely started using Internet browsers as a sophomore).

The important thing is that Bob is, as usual, full of shit.

I've heard "xillenials" before too. There is maybe an interesting debate to be hand as technology has accelerated, have generational divides changed? (Just wait until you have the pre and post robot-war kids!) A kid born in 45 would probably have way more in common with a kid born in 64 compared to the '65 and '84 kids. But on the flip side... how much does an '80s kid have in common with a '94? Remember the dial up tone to get on the internet? AOL floppies?

At times I could almost understand some of Bob's frustrations when you're lumped in with a group you still feel pretty alienated from or don't have much in common with (probably how most of us Americans feel being lumped in with Bob). Maybe there should be like Gen X, gen analog, gen digital, gen online, gen millenial....

But this post is autistic enough.

Bob wants to blow up Musk because he prevented some death. Wow man. And saying he lives in a volcano is just goofy and dumb.

Bob is probably using the concept of the fake volcano (the hideout of Ernst Blofeld) in "You Only Live Twice" which was used to hide an entire SPECTRE operation which was stealing US and Soviet spacecrafts, as a reference point to James Bond. Oh and of course, Elmo prevented Ukraine from getting the drop on Russia, therefore Elmo bad.

It's interesting to consider what things were like when Bob was 14 years old:

Versus this slick little number I had when I was 14:

I still miss it,

The Internet wasn't really a concept for this one. You could use dial up to get to a BBS or an expensive metered connection to Compuserve. I started with a tape drive, which was not really ideal. I only got to use this one exclusively because my Dad eventually got an Atari 800XL. We used to fight over computer time back then.

Like a lot (most? all?) of sociological concepts, generational divisions are pretty arbitrary, and the boundaries shift depending on who's laying them out. Anyone in the middle is pretty firmly part of that generation, but those on the edge it can be argued have a bit of wiggle room. And as you mentioned, some define those around those border years as a sub-generation that doesn't quite fit in with either. In the end, a lot of it is meaningless, especially since the faggots can't actually come up with any generational names anymore, so they just keep extending the Gen X label forward and now they're starting to loop around to Greek letters. Gonna be amusing when we have Generation Beta as Fuck in a couple decades.

Personally, I stick with any division that lumps Bob in with the Millennials, even if that means he's part of my generation (ugh). Anything to deny him the Gen X status he so covets.

Well, regardless of what Generation Bob is in, his assertion that "because I am in $Generation I want to blow up $ENEMY," is really just a Bob problem. A lot of people in all generations don't really want to have wars. If some of them do want to have wars, it's to solve some problem or respond to some aggression. Not Bob though, Bob just enjoys the thought of people he doesn't know or have any particular grievance against being killed for no reason.

That's not really a GenX thing, though, that's a Bob thing.

At 14 I was moving from my C64 workhorse to my first PC. It was a real whizbang number, with a whole 40 meg on the hard drive and even a soundcard!

It's based on cultural and technological shifts. The greatest generation lived through the great depression and WW2, the Boomers grew up in the prosperity that happened after that. Generation X is the TV generation, but also they had the Vietnam war broadcast to them and could see the horrors of that, causing a huge mistrust in authority. The Millennials are the computer generation because the home computer became much more commonly available and technology became a huge part of their lives. Gen Zed is based on the internet and how they grew up always online. And Alpha is based on the smart phone becoming everyone's default phone.

Bob believes that instead of the home computer, the cut off point for Gen X should be 1983 because that's when Return of the Jedi came out. Because apparently that's a more important land mark than fucking computers.

Musk did another good thing for the world, and Bobby wants him tried for treason.

Bobby is a Gen-Xer so he can only conceive Russia as an enemy of the USA -- after all, a hundred movies can't be wrong.

LMAO this dumb, fat, subhuman nigger cattle didn't give a shit about Russia or anything in Eastern Europe years ago, in fact I guarantee you that he laughed along with Obama when he told Mitt Romney that "the 1980's called" during the 2012 Presidential debates.

All it took was TPTB declaring that Russia and Putin was the big bad boogeyman to explain Drumpf winning and a bunch of glowie propagandists comparing the Ukrainians to his favorite capeshit characters, and this human-shaped meat puppet has suddenly always been a rock-ribbed Reaganite foreign policy hawk, and totally not the kind of politically progressive Internet pop-culture hipster that would make fun of people that genuinely like shit like Red Dawn or Rambo III.

Except, as has been pointed out in this thread before, by almost every calculation Bob is a millennial. (There are a few organizations that consider Generation X to run as late as 1984, but most stop in 1980 or even 1979.) I don't know why Bob insists on this delusion; he's certainly too young to appreciate most of the cultural stuff that unites Gen-X. If your first game system was a Nintendo and not an Atari 2600 or similar (or even a home Pong system), you're probably a millennial.

I've heard the term Xennial thrown about. Basically, millennials who were born early enough to remember and grow up with a lot of the things that defined Gen X. I think Bob would qualify under that term.

 

[ditto]

If Bob were actually a Gen-Xer, he'd remember how everyone was sick to their stomachs for months after The Day After aired, even those of us who never watched it.

If you don't remember the moon landing, you're Gen X
If you don't remember the Cold War, you're Millennial
If you don't remember 9/11, you're a Zoomer

People can argue about the dates all they want. Bobert is not Gen-X. The defining characteristics of my generation are cynicism, ironic detachment, distrust of authority, anti-idealism, and a general sense that we're doomed and nothing can be done about it. There is a reason grunge, The X-Files, and heroin were all huge at about the same time.

Cinema Roberto is an idealist. A big part of why he's pissed off all the time is that reality just isn't what he knows it should be. Bob loves authority. Surely, there must have been a clerical error. The system is supposed to pat him on the head and give him treats. The system wants to de-bone him, grind him up, and turn him into a Tomlinson special of the week.

With all the vile shit this guy says every day, I'm surprised that this is what twists my nips. At least we can take some pleasure in the fact that Bob will suffer more than us as things continue to fall apart. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may die.
