I am a Gen X'er (by just a few months). Fifteen years of a group of people is a pretty big group to leave out. Thought the responses were great!

In fairness as a Gen X-er my whole life plan has been to neither boss nor be bossed.

Considering that Gen X raised millennials, maybe it's best we were left off the list.  |

Is it something about being 53 and apparently the only person on earth still wearing a mask that makes me very happy to be forgotten about? haha

Well, our generation never got a cool name because we refused to be defined. Guess that also caused us to be forgotten! That's fine- I'll just go nuke a Lean Cuisine and drink a Pepsi Light.

Much like New Coke, Gen X remains forgotten.  |

Early Gen X raised late Millennials, but I'm firmly in the middle of Gen X and I'm raising a 14 year old. Meanwhile most of my friends are Millennials. We're much closer to peers than parents of most Millennials.

Well, I'm "Generation Jones" - too young to be a true Boomer; too old to be a true Gen X - born in late '64... and I have two millennials and two Gen Z! And they are honestly very, very different. It's interesting to see. |

I hadn't heard the term either but it's right where I fit. While my parents were busy not caring where I was, I was with my 16 year old cousin 100% of the time so although i was very young in 86-92 I was living like a high school student. I was always safe, thankfully but the things I remember are not nursery rhymes and sesame street. |

Gen Jones for me too, mid '64. For a long time we were lumped with the baby boomers, which I was never comfortable with. We raised two millennials and one Gen Z. There is a distinct difference between them, even though they are only 22 months apart.

Also, as someone who is regularly called Gen, this whole thread is LITERALLY calling my name. 😬

My parents were of the Silent Generation. All of my older siblings are Boomers. My younger brother and I are early Gen X. Most of my nieces and nephews are Millennials except the last couple. I’m raising a Post Millennial.
