After all my time on HF, I am still 9 years younger than you. Jane has managed to catch up and is now only 4 years behind me. Perhaps she got a bit confused about her age when I met her 48 years ago.
I remember when the majority of people on Hip Forums were under 30! Those were the millennials, who have taken up where we left off, sorta. Millennials are more tuned in and now they're in their 40s! We were never big with Gen X and not many Gen Z stop by. Gen Z is too much into Tik Tok to bother with us. They grew up with iPads in their cribs.
I joined HF version 1 in 1998. still here, still a fervent women’s libber, as my dad would say. And Skip, I’m GenX, barely. (55)
Confused, I looked up these generations on the internet. I think that I have proved beyond all reasonable doubt that by giving unexplained figures, the internet is the worlds largest dustbin. Generations Born Current Age Gen Z 1997 – 2012 12 – 27 Millennials 1981 – 1996 28 – 43 Gen X 1965 – 1980 44 – 59 Boomers II (a/k/a Generation Jones)* 1955 – 1964 60 – 69 Boomers I* 1946 – 1954 70 – 78 Post War 1928 – 1945 79 – 96 WWII 1922 – 1927 97 – 102
I agree. Never knew any of these things before and will never be interested in committing them to memory. It's all bullshit.
I wish. Most of the people I know, post war and early 50's, myself included, are extremely vocal and opinionated.
