What US generation do you fall in?

I always thought the official scale for millennial vs. Zoomer was inaccurate, and the cut off should be closer to 9/11. I think that was the last great shift in societal thinking, and anyone who could actually recognize the shift in attitudes falls into the millennial category. I personally think Zoomers were closer to ‘99/‘00, and those I’ve chatted with from that age bracket didn’t notice a shift in how society worked. I was young in 2001, but I still recognized the event of 9/11 had an impact on life outside of the tragedy.

I'm an older millennial.

Eh, I don't really, at least according to the usual stereotypes. I'm not offended at every little thing under the sun. I'm not an SJW, a hipster or even on the political left. I don't blame everyone else but myself for the bad things that might happen in my life. I don't recoil like a vampire from a cross at the thought of working for what I want instead of relying on handouts.

I exists as the concept of an organic molecule and am therefore timeless and my persistence through the aeons does not herald me within any specific generational division.

In other words:
Nice try, FBI.
Not today, CIA.
Dirty Tricks, MI6.
No Deal, Navy Seal.
Lay off the meth, ATF.
Another day, Green Barrett.
I'm not falling for that Trojen Horse, Israli Defense Force.
Good attempt at obscurity, Department of Homeland Security.
Stranger Danger, Army Ranger.
Forget your plea, KGB.
Enough of you, JTF2.
No foul play, TSA.
Reassess, SAS.
No Dice, ICE.
Cease, Police.
Stop, cop.

I honestly thought I was Generation Y but then I looked it up recently and Generation X officially goes all the way through the 1970s and ends in 1980.

I always assumed Generation X were those born to parents who were kids during World War II, and the earlier ones are, but those of us early "Boomer Echo" kids born in the mid-to-late 1970s to early Boomer parents still count as "Generation X" too, it would appear.

Fucking. This. I legit have triggered a few by defending the 90s effectively died on 9/11.
I was convinced of my statistical millennialhood because I thought zoomers started around '99, but if that threshold leans more towards early-to-mid-90s then I reckon I'm also a proto-boomer zoomer or a late boomennial, if you will. Either way, if wokeness and social media/mobile device dependence are the hallmarks of a millennial, then I might as well go check availability at the care home. I'm a bit of a luddite by choice in that regard and my use of them shiny contraptions mostly stems from working in a stereotypically millennial industry. I'm the only one of my class who listens to [band]! No one my age understands me! Who else is watching in 2019?

Late millenial early gen z. Which fits me quite well. Doe eyed re.tard that was way too altruistic to the point of almost becoming an SJW never got the white guilt thing/commie, but I almost got sucked into the lgbtq/feminism thing considering most of my friends were faggots or fag adjacent/trenders. Now i'm a cynical doe eyed prick that is still a push over, but my politics have taken a 180 and if I didn't like going outside and going to places on occasion I would definitely be a hermit.

I think we should follow RedLetterMedia's lead. Millenials are those born between the outbreak of AIDS and 9/11.
