1. Generation X. n/t

[geardaddy]

2. Gen X, age 47, b. 1965

You might wanna change the oldest age for Gen X to 47.

[Taverner]

3. Interesting - I wish I could see results from ALL of DU

My guess is that it would be a bell curve, with it's peak at Gen X, and positively skewed on the right

28. Maybe shoulda' posted it in General Discussion then.

(personal reminder: remember to be more polite with my posts because my parents generation seems to have the majority here!) Good to see, but I wish we had younger DU'ers joining too. If the majority of us are sportin' the Tommy Chong look, then we are doomed.

4. Self-identified by age only.

Not being a joiner, I don't identify as a boomer.

[LP2K12]

5. Millennials

1986
Age 26

[KamaAina]

6. Tail-end boomer

friends tend to be somewhat more Xers than boomers, though, with a number of early millennials in the mix as wel.

[Taverner]

7. So you're telling me you got to go to CBGB AND Lollapalooza...

Lucky dog

[KamaAina]

9. Well, I should have gone to CBGB and Lollapalooza

I even lived in NYC when CBGB was still there.

My boomer half did make it to thirteen Dead shows, though.

[OriginalGeek]

11. my boomer side goes to Tom Petty and Led Zep tribute band shows

My X side is going to see Napalm Death and Possessed in a few weeks.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

29. As an X-er

I saw many of the great 60's and 70's artists like Clapton, Jeff Beck, Lou Reed, the Who and the Stones, Allman bros 2x, Skynyrd and lots of reunion bands (ie Ringo Starr and company), etc. But as an X-er also saw SRV 2x, the Cult, Lenny Kravitz, and Ministry 2x.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Which means you are probably a fellow "Cracker".

There are a couple of different definitions of what is the "Baby Boom". Some have the Baby Boom going until 1960. Others have it going until 1965. The "Crackers" were born between 1961-1964--the period of overlap between the two versions.

[Tom Ripley]

[NightWatcher]

14. Gen X'er came of age in the Grunge years

[Akoto]

15. Gen Y! Born in 1985. n/t

[HeiressofBickworth]

16. I was born the end of 1945

and have always considered myself to be on the cutting-edge of the Baby Boomers.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. First wave boomer

1946

[Redlo Nosrep]

18. Right Behind You

1947

[IcyPeas]

19. I have never heard the terms Silent Generation nor Homeland. /eom

[TwilightGardener]

32. I've heard Silent generation--my parents are of that age. "Homeland"

is completely new to me.

[sakabatou]

20. Gen Y

edit Nevermind, my grandpa's the G.I. generation.

[LadyHawkAZ]

21. IT'S A TIE! NO CLEAR WINNER! -CNN

... oh sorry, my mind was still in GD.

GenX, born 1972.

[shanti]

22. mid-Boomer

smack dab in the middle.

[AsahinaKimi]

23. AS in...

[Generic Brad]

24. We need more millennials

I want more of them here at DU. More of them in the work place. More of them in all the organizations I belong to.

We vampirish Baby Boomers crave an infusion of fresh blood!

[Hayabusa]

25. Generation X

I was born in 1984, and thus I'm technically a Millenial. That said, I identify far more with Gen X fashion and music trends. Especially the music.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

26. GX all the way!!!

[Silver Swan]

27. Most 1946 Boomers are age 66 now, not 65.

I was born nine months after the end of WWII.

When I was around 50 years old, and my mother was 82, I asked her if she and my father had said "Hey, the war's over, lets have another baby!" She said it was something like that.

30. gen x/millennial cusp

most of my staff are millennials and we are light years apart.

i was going to go into a rant about how hard it is to be my age, but everyone's got it rough.

[NNadir]

31. I see no category for veterans of the American Civil War.

This, I would guess, leaves me out.

[hunter]

33. I've never accepted any of those splits.

I'm a boomer, but there's a huge divide caused by the end of the draft in 1973.

I never had to register for the draft, and I was never subject to the draft.
