I am a proud Gen X'er (1970), and I think Kamala Harris is one of us (I think Obama is Gen X too)!

Kamala Harris will be the first (and maybe only) Gen X President [View all] OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 OP

I love that JustAnotherGen Jul 2024 #1

She's actually a baby boomer. She was born in 1964. jimfields33 Jul 2024 #28

I hold hope. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #30

It's weird to lump us in with those born in 1946 eShirl Jul 2024 #36

Probably but this was done decades ago and jimfields33 Jul 2024 #38

On the other hand, these are all human constructed categories... OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #44

I was born in '64 and feel the same misanthrope Jul 2024 #58

Biden's from the Silent generation. Elessar Zappa Jul 2024 #2

You are right. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #8

I Count Obama and Harris As Generation Jones Deep State Witch Jul 2024 #3

Boomers was a long range. There are substantial differences between the youngest & oldest among them. hlthe2b Jul 2024 #9

What is Generation Jones? Nt OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #10

The Cusp of the Baby Boomers - Gen X Deep State Witch Jul 2024 #12

Thx! OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #24

There is no such thing. The Baby Boom was from 1946-1964. The demographics are based solely on birthrates. valleyrogue Jul 2024 #49

I also consider myself Gen. Jones (1963) Island Blue Jul 2024 #18

Agreed...too old to be Gen X Prairie Gates Jul 2024 #23

Correct - I'm with you FHRRK Jul 2024 #39

It doesn't matter what you remember. That is NOT what characterizes the Baby Boom generation. valleyrogue Jul 2024 #42

Lol, you a Boomer? FHRRK Jul 2024 #55

There is no such thing as "generation Jones." None. You are a Baby Boomer whether you like it or not. n/t valleyrogue Jul 2024 #41

I think it depends on where you grew up... WarGamer Jul 2024 #47

She's definitely on the cusp. I think she gives Gen X energy rather than Boomer. Music Man Jul 2024 #4

Fixed the error. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #13

No worries! Music Man Jul 2024 #43

So true! OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #46

My wife was shocked when she found out Harris was as old as she is AZSkiffyGeek Jul 2024 #27

She is attractive, stylish and keeps up with pop culture. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #34

there is a little math errors here lapfog_1 Jul 2024 #5

Yes and fixed. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #14

Obama is more genX than Boomer. nt Maru Kitteh Jul 2024 #6

He's in the sub gen called Generation Jones (born 1954/55 to 1964/65 or even 1966, although some start it at 1957/58) Celerity Jul 2024 #15

Actually disagree. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #16

That's the thing about cuspers (I 'm a 1996 born cusper, almost a Gen Zer but born in the last 3 months of Millennials) Celerity Jul 2024 #53

She is a Boomer, not Gen X (1964 is the last birth year for Boomers) and Biden was a Silent Gen (1928-1945 born) POTUS Celerity Jul 2024 #7

There may be consensus... but I never considered myself as being in the middle of the Boomers lapfog_1 Jul 2024 #11

see my Generation Jones post, it sounds like you are in that Celerity Jul 2024 #17

yes, that's me... never heard that name before. lapfog_1 Jul 2024 #20

Agree and disagree. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #29

yes, but some things just don't fit lapfog_1 Jul 2024 #54

Consensus exists now. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #21

see my Generation Jones post Celerity Jul 2024 #25

Yep, very helpful. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #40

16 years (Gen X and Millennials) in duration. I also, in all my other posters on this thread, left out the 3rd cusper Celerity Jul 2024 #59

Generation Jones Ex Lurker Jul 2024 #19

Thanks. OrwellwasRight Jul 2024 #22

There is no such thing as "generation Jones." It is a complete fabrication. valleyrogue Jul 2024 #37

Twenty-five years ago I was NOT a boomer! FHRRK Jul 2024 #48

Then define it culturally rather than by birth rate. tinrobot Jul 2024 #57

Thank you. Proud Gen Joneser here tinrobot Jul 2024 #45

Lol, and for the youngsters FHRRK Jul 2024 #50

Totally Gen X! Gaytano70 Jul 2024 #26

Wrong on both counts. They are in fact Baby Boomers as defined by the US Census, valleyrogue Jul 2024 #35

Hence the "I think" Gaytano70 Jul 2024 #62

As a proud Gen Xer...I'd love to count her in our ranks Docreed2003 Jul 2024 #31

She was born in 64... technically not Gen X. WarGamer Jul 2024 #32

Not "Generation X." She was born during the last year of the baby boom. valleyrogue Jul 2024 #33

She's a very young Boomer. I doubt we Gen Xers will ever produce a president. Sky Jewels Jul 2024 #51

FACT: The peak year of the Baby Boom was not 1946 or 1950. It was 1957, valleyrogue Jul 2024 #52

GenX start year ibegurpard Jul 2024 #56

I'm gen X and we claim MaineBlueBear Jul 2024 #60

I'm Gen X but have a bit of Boomer in me because my brothers were several years older than me. chowder66 Jul 2024 #61
