Generations and nonsense

What I'm getting at though, is that GenX wasn't really born with the internet, subscribed to earlier in-crowd out-crowd dynamics, and put away their childish things when they left high school or more or less became James Rolfe or MovieBob. A lot of millennials didn't stop playing video games, and they also didn't follow the predesigned rubric of middle-age convention, which is why stuff like Hooters started closing down.

Certainly no internet when I was a child but plenty of computer games (see my username and avatar), although I'm at the late end of X. I get the impression I'm of a similar age to Chuck and looking around at the reviews I doubt he stopped playing games either.

I have a distinctively older brother who is squarely in GenX territory. He gave me his sega master system and genesis for Christmas when he was 16.

Then we got Gen X, Millenials and Gen Y. Supposedly the new generation that is being born now is being called Gen Alpha or something. But these post Baby Boomer generations are harder to figure out where they start and end.

I actually think there is a fairly easy way to distinguish between Millenials and Gen Z, if you can't remember 9/11 you're Gen Z.

I think that is general concensus on where the cutoff for Millenials is judged. I think the cutoff is 1996.

I was a senior in high school at the time. When it happened, I was in the middle of running laps on the tack field for gym. I didn't find out until English class.
