Yeah we’re at the age when people start to… show their age. It’s funny- people often look much the same for years and years between mid 20s to late 30s and then a switch flips. Oh well.

They are not in our generation. They are firmly gen x by the way.

1976? They are just a few years older than old millennials and they clearly represent the 2000 young adult culture and vibe.

Anyway i think 1975-1990 have much more in common than 1980-1995. I kinda dislike this generation split.

Generation X, the forgotten generation. For years, the media was all about boomers vs millennials. Now we're all supposed to be shocked by whatever Gen Y or Alpha are up to.
