I'm 25.
And I''m going to be honest, I actually do feel really old at this age. Maybe it's because I've been in the workforce, maybe it's because I've seen how other adults behave (which is to say, a lot of them are extremely childish and constantly make stupid decisions), but my body just feels so worn out and tired now.
Best age was when I was 18 ~ 22. I felt so much more active and youthful. But now, it feels like my body has aged 3x as fast since then. I'm not even prepared to know what life in the 30s and 40s will be like.

I only started using my brain recently, so that might explain my youthful prose.

Isn't there some overlap with Gen X/Millennial? I've seen it labeled as both for those born in '81.

My given age doesn’t define me. I identify as a 4 year old object in free fall.

I got news for everyone. The actual definition of Millennial is someone who's a big fan of this show:
I love that show, even bought the dvd box sets back then. Damned if I know where they are these days, and they aren't easy to buy.

I liked just hanging in limbo.
My limbo childhood had both rotary phones and mobile phones, typewriters and word processors, TV premieres of Marx Brothers movies and the good Star Wars trilogy, Defender and Tekken 3. Cusp is where it's at.

38 years old. Was here in the "heyday" of Gaf, when disagreeing with the hive mind got you an insta-banned, especially as a junior. Left for a long time until the change started, and i've been here for a while and really enjoying the far more relaxed site!

This to me is 'gen X'
Which is why I dont really see myself as Gen-X born in 79.
To really be part of the 'Slacker Gen-X' culture you had to be, in my opinion, old enough to 'slack' 20-25 years old in 1992-1997.
So, like Ethan Hawke(born in '70) Wynona Ryder (born in 71) etc.. people from the movie, who were in that age range are what I would call true Gen-X.
Me being 15 in 1994 sure was nice, the music and lack of 'social media/cell phones' etc.. but I didnt have much to slack on. Aside from wearing thermals under flannel and failing Algebra II.
We are the limbo gen...a little slacker, a little tech.

An abuse of a special tag called vis_name (With brackets). It autofills each and every logged in user, so every user sees his name there.

Its slowly worned out but the trick is to use it in new ways. Atleast until its fixed since its basically a buggy tag

Its just a forced meme by some of the madass GAFfers here. Don't listen to them, they still cuddle their Tamagotchi's before they go to sleep.
I didn't guess anything :O

I wish i had an Amiga, but one day ill may accquire one, or a CD32 since that thing enables unprotected burned CD's to played with homebrew right out of the box.The Jean Thurel Generation. (Quite literally.)

Ha! That hack whippersnapper. I’d rather not be associated with him thank you very much.
Haven’t liked him since the Chevalier de Seingalt and I drank some gin under Thurel’s chestnut tree. He claimed he himself imported it from England, but it tasted like the maid’s washbucket. Horrible aftertaste. So uncouth.
We still got randy though.

What is not to like about an 88 year old refusing to go to the battlefields on a carriage and walking the distance himself?

I think a good rule of thumb is that if you could have had a kid who was a millennial, you're not a millennial.
I was born in 83, so one of the older ones. I witnessed the analog to digital switch when I was a teen, so I can understand Gen-X people a bit better than some later millennials, but I still came late enough in the game that the entirety of my of life has been absolutely constant total societal change. As a person I have been molded by the absolute necessity of constant adaptation to this ever-shifting digitizing and globalizing of society, and in relating to a coworker who is a late millennial at 23 years old, I think that is really the defining characteristic of our generation. Gen-X were already developed persons when it all started to shift and the generation after us who were born post-internet with an iphone in their hands have had a much more stable life experience.
