wait... how'd we get that reputation?
Seriously, the boomers definitely take that one. :-)
No way - silent generation. They're so ashamed they're not even talking about it :P.

Re: Poll: Which Generation Are You?
#22Baby Boomer here. Not proud of it. Don't apologise for it either. Come to think about it, never really thought about it that much. I spend lots of time with people from age 4 to 92 and never think about which "generation" they're in. Frankly, I think it's a giant non-issue. I do know that we didn't have all this cool technology when I was in college, but I sure am glad we do now. Having suffered with earlier stuff ma…
Dear Sir:
As the primary account-holder of the future which your generation has mortgaged, I would kindly request that you address all future payments to us, directly.
Additionally, it has come to our attention that your account is more than 90 days past due, and we must inform you that if you do not begin making payments immediately, we will be forced to turn over your debt to collections. If you do not respond, your future may be repossessed without further notice.
Sincerely,
Generation X

#23Gen X. 90s indie music was pretty defining for us I thought.
Certainly better than what's out there now, but then every generation says exactly the same thing don't they!
Re: Poll: Which Generation Are You?
#241990, so solidly Gen Y. I remember not having internet access, but I don't remember not having a computer at home. Some of my earliest memories involve playing DOS games. I think 9/11 is a pretty defining moment. I was in 6th grade that year, so I was old enough to understand what was going on but not old enough to really be interested in politics, so I became politically aware in a world with a war on terror and pat…
Wow. You know, being exposed to this forum at 18 is putting you miles ahead of where I was at your age. Don't take that for granted, take heed to a lot of the advice here, especially from those who have been around the block.

#25Gen X. 90s indie music was pretty defining for us I thought.
A concert that a few friends went to in high school:
RHCP headlining, and a few other regional (northwest) bands opening: Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. Everyone was quite into RHCP, but weren't so sure that Nirvana was that great.
Me, I was (am) more into Fishbone, who are, incidentally, still a going concern.
Re: Poll: Which Generation Are You?
#26I am Gen Y (1983), but culturally I feel more at home as 'Gen X'. I worked during the dot-com boom, most of my friends (and with few exceptions, the women I've dated) are late 'Gen X' (1975-1981).
Re: Poll: Which Generation Are You?
#27Gen-X according to those ranges (born in 1973) but I disagree with at least some details of these definitions, if not the entire premise behind labeling "generations."
For example, the Gen-X stereotype would be some lazy, self-centered kid listening to 90's grunge music, while blaming his parents generation for fucking up the world, while wearing a flannel shirt and ridiculously long sideburns.
I feel pretty much nothing in common with that stereotype, fucking hate grunge music, and am far more interested in how we (my "generation" or whoever) can change the world, than in assigning blame to others.

Y here. I'd say that it was for me too.
Re: Poll: Which Generation Are You?
#29Generation Y here. I wrote some ideas that we stand by earlier this year: thought, action, stimulation and freedom - http://datainsightsideas.com/post/35037689

#30Generation Y. Born and lived in a small South Asian country for 19 years. In the US for the last 3 years pursuing undergrad CS degree in a not so popular university with a decent CS program. Not gone back home since I arrived in the US.
