Anyway, this year I found out I was "technically" classed as a millennial, born in Dec 81 and it crushed my mind, body and spirit.
Fucking millennials ruined my Gen X life.
Darn Millennials, ruining everything.

My wife is an '80 as well, she thinks she's a millennial, I disagree.
I think it should be judged like this: did you watch the Challenger disaster in school? Anyone too young is millennial.
Best show after school for me:
I watched it. Our teacher was shortlisted to be on board.
Doesn't have to be toys, no?

Millenial.Gen X is 1979? Interesting.

I was born in 1982, which is a pretty common start to the millennial generation. I share more in common to late gen Xers than I do to late Millennials (who were getting potty trained when I started college).
I guess I am a GeneXennial because I was born in 1981 and there is no real clear definition when Gen-X ends and millennials begin. So I am stuck in that limbo between generations. Though to be honest, being called a millennial is still kinda weird to me, as it was a title that started to be in use in my late 20's.
We were Gen Y for a long time.
Why did they ever get rid of Gen Y anyway?
Because it sounds stupid. Gen X sounds like you'd be on the cover of a marvel comic
But then why does Gen Z exist?
I remember going to play in the woods with my friends with toy machine guns and uzis that were all black and looked like the real thing at a glance minus the orange tip that we of course immediately removed.
Why is the window for Gen X way smaller than for Millennials?
How many gen x'rs found porn stashs in the woods lol

Born in 80. Not a millennial.
I remember the remote with the damn wire. The big broken zenith tv with the little tv on top.
I remember them asswhoopings. Teachers would laugh then if I said I got a spanking. Shit, I remember a teacher encouraging my mom to spank me. And I remember my C64. Goat.
Born in 77.
I was trying to tell the young ones on gaming side just how fucking amazing Super Mario was when it came out in 1985. I had been playing Atari games for a few years before it came out. I was pretty satisfied with Atari. I loved arcade games but being only 6 years old I thought that was as good as it got at home.
Then my friends dad got him an NES sometime in 85. Never even saw a commercial for it. I came over and I was not ready for what I saw.
The controller? Holy shit!
The graphics? That looks like an arcade game! You can tell what everyone is!
The game? Holy fucking shit. The screen moves with the character! There are different enemies! Castles! Dragons! WTF!
It came close to melting my 7/8 year old brain.
Thinking back I think the other moment that sticks out like the NES was Transformers the movie. Seeing Megatron ruthlessly murder so many of my toys. And that was just the introduction!

Growing up, we had a TV that was made before RF inputs existed. It just had the screws in the back that you could attach an antenna to. I remember having to go to radioshack to get an RF adaptor so that I could play my NES.
I didn't have something with AV jacks until the late 90s. S-video and component cables seemed like rich person tech.
Same. Worse still, when my parents got a new tv (it had picture in picture!) they gave me the old one so I still had to use it till I got my own new one in the mid 90s.
I posted about it previously on GAF. My friends and I found a box full of mags and VHS tapes. Thinking back I can't believe we all touched it. None of us thought about what the previous owner was doing while touching those things.How many gen x'rs found porn stashs in the woods lol

In my mind, cutoff year is 1981, so you are Gen X. 1982, and following years are Millennials, or Gen. YSo "late 70s to early 80s"? Then what the fuck am I (born 1980), cause I've been called a Millennial too. I grew up with a lot of that shit, was raised on early MTV (back when music videos were EVERYTHING).
Depends on who is doing the math. There's no one defined or agree upon definition start/end year for any generation, let alone Gen. X.Why is the window for Gen X way smaller than for Millennials?
I had this:
This thread doesn't have enough Radio Shack references. Disappoint.
