Baby Boomers: 1943 - 1960/Prophet This is the genration that came of age in the '60s and '70s during the Kennedy assassination, Civil Rights movement, Vietnam War, hippies, "Summer of Love", Moon landing, Woodstock, Days of Rage on college campuses, and Watergate.  Are generally desribed as idealistic, lovers of individual freedom who are inner driven and moralistic about worldly affairs.  My parents are both second wave Boomers.

Generation X: 1961 - 1981/Nomad The post-Boomer generation that came of age in the '80s and '90s with the Reagan era, Challenger explosion, fall of Berlin Wall, Persian Gulf War, economic recession, and grunge rock.  Are generally described as individualistic, cynical of world affairs, alienated from Boomer culture, and often negatively stereotyped as "slackers" (i.e. Beavis and Butthead, Beck's "Loser").  My sister is a mid wave Gen Xer.

Generation Y: 1982 - 2003/Hero Otherwise known as the Millennial Generation or "Echo-Boomers" for being mostly the Boomers' kids.  Is coming of age now in the new millennium with Election 2000, 9-11 terrorist attacks, War on Terror, and Iraq War.  Are generally described as optimistic, teamplayers among peers, less inclined to enage in promiscous sexual activity than their Boomer and Gen Xer elders and more likely to put off sex until marriage or wait for someone "special".  Often stereotyped as South Park idiots or wholesome pre-teen lovers of boy bands and pop princesses.  I myself am a first wave Gen Yer but don't know if I fit the collective personality I just described.

Generation Z: 2004 - 2025/Artist The generation being born now, mostly the Gen Xers' kids.  Are expected to be much like the Silent Generation that is now in old age in character and personality.  will come of age in the decades of the 2020s and 2030s and will grow up in a volitile environment of terror threats, possible nuclear or biological attacks in America that will scar them the same way Silent children were scarred by Great Depression, WWII, and later the nuclear threat of the Cold War.  My kids will most likely belong to this generation if I ever have any.

Generation X; though I must tell you that this Generation ends at 1977 as a birth year. I was born in 1976 and have absolutely nothing in common with those born in the 80s. Sorry.

Tanya

According to this, I am Generation X (born in 1965). But there should add another one, called Generation P-on. That names my generation better. ::)

generation x. i always thought the baby boomer generation started after WW2 and ended in '65. gen xers came about from '66 to '75. to qualify as a gen xer, you had to have been a teenager in the 80s. i always read something different.

Good question, it does sound confusing. Since I was born in 1976, I would say Generation X, since I was a teenage during the 90's I would say Generation Y. Like I said before, sounds confusing.

I was born in 1960....I remember the Beatles very well from age 5 as I had to older sisters constantly playing them :) I loved the 70's and even part of the 80's. I stopped buying records in 1990, though I still burn some new stuff once in a while. I'd redefine my generation as 1963-1979

Baby Boomers: 1943 - 1960/Prophet



Actually, the Baby Boomers are from 1946 (the end of WWII) and 1963 or 1964 by some charts.


I AM A BABY BOOMER  And d@m proud of it.



Cat

lol, the answers above are funny and a bit confusing to me. Fact is, we were all born :D

I believe that I'm a cusper because I was born smack dab in the middle of the 1980s (1985).
The funny thing is that I remember quite a bit of the second half of the 80s.

I'm Degeneration X! ;D(born 1974)


Howard

Generation Y (Though I'm more into the '90's, and past decades, than the 2000's  8))

1969--Gen X all the way.  I never liked the moniker "Generation X."  The Baby Boom ended in 1964 and was followed by the "Baby Bust."  The Baby Boom generation call themselves "Boomers," so can we of the Baby Bust call ourselves "Busters"?
:D

  Same here, 1969...

  The term "Generation X" has something to do with Billy Idol's former group, doesn't it..?

1969 as well  ;)

as far as i know the term "Generation X" was around before the band Gen-X/Generation X(i still have their albums by the way from my Billy Idol stage in the early-mid 80s)

as far as i know the term "Generation X" was around before the band Gen-X/Generation X(i still have their albums by the way from my Billy Idol stage in the early-mid 80s)

I believe the term "Generation X" predated the band, nonetheless, I loathe the idea of an entire generation being associated with Billy Idol!
:P

I was under the impression that Douglas Coupland was responsible for using the term in regards to an age-bracket in his novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, this came out in, I believe 1991 (or so). 

Billy Idol was using the same term in the late 70's with his band, however he said he got the name of the group from a 1960's paperback book about mods and rockers in the UK, although no one has been able to locate this book...

There were zillions of pulp paperbacks for newsstands and drugstores back then.  It doesn't surprise me that no one's been able to locate a copy.  They were quite ephemeral.  Then again, Idol might be misrembering.  It could have been just a magazine article or something.

I'm an X being born in 64, I too thought 64 would be the first year of the Xers since if you count back, my mom born in 46, 9 months almost to the day my Grandfather got back from Europe and me 18 years later, the first of the Xers no?

Generation X; though I must tell you that this Generation ends at 1977 as a birth year. I was born in 1976 and have absolutely nothing in common with those born in the 80s. Sorry.

Tanya

I was gonna go with Generation X, since my birth year is 1980, but given this info, does that fall in the Gen Y range? ???

Actually, the Baby Boomers are from 1946 (the end of WWII) and 1963 or 1964 by some charts.

Me Too!, I always though 64 was the last year of baby boomers, which would make me one of the youngest being born in Oct. 64.

Yup-I'm one of the last too. All my life I have always gotten along better with older people-then I figured out why-I am part of their generation. Hubby used to claim that I wasn't a Baby Boomer until I PROVED that I was. All my siblings (born between 51-60) are Baby Boomers and I asked him, "Aren't I in the same generation as my siblings?" He couldn't argue with that.  ;D

Born 1970 - Gen X

Big time Boomer-1951 -been there, done that, had fun, like it just where I am now :)

I'd have to go with Generation Y since I was a kid in the 90s and, now, a teenager in the 00s - I turned 13 in 2000. However, I seem to have nothing in common with the kids born in the 90s, as far as pop culture is concerned.

True. Not everybody  have to follow or like current trends from their generation.  8)

Personally, I don't take these  labels (Gen X, Gen Y) seriously.

I'm tail end Gen Xer that was born in 1975.  Damn proud of it too.

I don't have much in common with people born in the 80s either.  Well, maybey I can relate to some people born in the early 80s, but most everyone else born in the 80s and part of the Gen Y crowd have different tastes and opinions from my own.

Me Too!, I always though 64 was the last year of baby boomers, which would make me one of the youngest being born in Oct. 64.


October '64 here too  :)

Probably generation Y. I was born in 1987.

Oooh !  This was a thread when i first joined the board a few years ago.  :D

I will give the same answer, although more calmly this time.  ;)

I was born in 1961 and there is NO WAY I regard myself as being Generation X, or anything resembling it....  :o

Not that I am implying there is anything wrong with Gen X, I just always regarded myself as a Baby Boomer.  Gen X is a term I have always associated with technology, and I remember seeing precious little of that until the mid 70's

:)

I was born in 1969 so presumably that makes me an X

Generation X - born in 1971  :)

I was born in 1983. Am I Generation X or Y?

1969--Gen X all the way.  I never liked the moniker "Generation X."  The Baby Boom ended in 1964 and was followed by the "Baby Bust."  The Baby Boom generation call themselves "Boomers," so can we of the Baby Bust call ourselves "Busters"?
:D
???What if they're male?

I was born in 1983. Am I Generation X or Y?


Y

I am a generation x'er

Generation Z: 2004 - 2025/Artist The generation being born now, mostly the Gen Xers' kids.  Are expected to be much like the Silent Generation that is now in old age in character and personality.  will come of age in the decades of the 2020s and 2030s and will grow up in a volitile environment of terror threats, possible nuclear or biological attacks in America that will scar them the same way Silent children were scarred by Great Depression, WWII, and later the nuclear threat of the Cold War.  My kids will most likely belong to this generation if I ever have any.


Hello!  Isn't Generation Z began in 1999.

I was born in 1983. Am I Generation X or Y?


You're an older member of Gen Y.  But you're Gen Y neverthless, not X.

You're an older member of Gen Y.  But you're Gen Y neverthless, not X.

What comes after Generation Z?  Do we go to Generation A?

Generation Y.. Born in 89, remember the 90s very much, 00s are okay, have an interest in the 70s and 80s.

late Baby Boomer(1960).....grew up watching stuff like the Vietnam war...the Ed Sullivan Show....the Gemini AND Apollo space missions INCLUDING the first manned Moon landing...and of course played 'first generation'home video games such as PONG....I remember when NBC had the Peacock before every show.....

What comes after Generation Z?  Do we go to Generation A?


Beats me.  I'm not a demographic guy.  And people don't even follow United States (you have people in France calling themselves Gen X or Gen Y) birth rates or anything like that anymore, this seems to have transcended itself and is defined mostly by pop cultural issues first and foremost, with political and world events after that.  There is one thing though.  Gen Y is a different generation from Xers, but they really are not a "full generation away" from Gen X the way we were from the Baby Boomers.  My parents are traditional aged Baby Boomers.  Most Boomers with the exception of the really young ones born in the early 60s are old enough to be my parents too.  When I think "Baby Boomer" I immediately start thinking of my parents generation.  

But I'm not old enough to be the father of most of these Gen Y kids.  Some of the older Gen Xers obviously would be, but most of us born in the '70s weren't old enough to be these kids parents.  Well maybey biologicaly a few of them, if I started having kids in middle school back in the late 80s.  Or mabyey when I was in high school in the early 1990s.  But still, I'd be a super young dad to them at age 29.   

I was born in 1990, so I'm generation Y.

I'd like to be in generation Z 'cos I wanna know my future!!!!!

Not necessarily true. I'm a Gen Xer (1976) and the mother of a soon to be six year old son (this Thursday). By definition, he's late Gen Y (1998), though I thought it would be after that one. I was 22 when he was born.

Baby Boomers: 1943 - 1960


The reason Baby Boomer generation begins in 1943 is because that is 9 months to a year after the first waves of troops began returning to the States after being deployed overseas for WWII.

Quite literally the last Baby Boomers were born on May 6, 1946.  Nine months after VJ Day. ;)

Oh. . .

Generation X (born in the late 60s)  :P

Born 1990.  Gen Y  :)

My opinion on the matter:

Baby boom: 1946-1964
Gen X: 1965-1979
Gen Y: 1980-1994
Gen Z: 1995-present

I'm a Gen Y (1989).  Although that description sounds like porbably about only 10% of the people I know, maybe less.  I can see defining Gen Xers or Baby Boomers, but my generation really hasn't manifested yet, IMHO... I think it's silly :D.

Generation Bowling For Soup
1985!

Generation Y, born in 1988. But my dad is a boomer(born in 48) and my mom too(56), an I'd say my attitude and likes are more akin to a Boomer than someone of my generation, or even an X'er. Its weird having a generation gap with people your own age, but I do. I was raised by Boomers and I assimilated more to their beleifs/habits then to my peers.

My parents are boomers too, but close to Gen X.  My attitude is prolly more boomer too.  I'm pretty liberal politically and not very angry.

gen y cause i was born in 1988 but i don't like a lot of the things that come out today it's not what it was back in the 90's

Born in '87 so I'm Generation Y.

Generation Strange  ;D.. or Y

Gen X

I'm Generation Y....as so elegantly displayed in my screen name. And I know it's chic and all to look down on Gen-Y on this forum...but to tell you the truth, I'm proud of my generation.....It has just as much good and bad as the generations past and the ones in the future....

And I know it's chic and all to look down on Gen-Y on this forum...


Really  ???.. I failed to notice

I am Generation X and I hate today's generation. This is all they talk about is stupid selfies, iPods, iPads, Kardashians, Caitlyn Jenner,Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. ::)

I'm technically part of Generation Z, although I don't like today's teens. They're basically tech-savvy over their phones, while they can't seem to shut the f*ck up sometimes.

Howard, once again you've spoken the truth. The cold, hard truth. It gets worse when you look at those born after 1987. >:(

I'm a Generation Y, a Millenial.

Sorry, no. You were probably held back so you had 3rd grade from 2004-2005 which explains why you used an iPad.

It's true, pretty much any statistic confirms it. Least amount of drug abuse, teen pregnancies, petty crimes, violent crimes, highest university acceptance rates, the list goes on.

Did you read the charts upside down? ;)

Baby Boomers 1946-1964
Gen X 1965-1980
Gen Y 1981-1994
Gen Z 1995-2009
Gen Alpha 2010-now

Some may not like these definitions but to me they're the most clean, concise, and simple. Cultural generations do NOT "have" to be 15-20 years long; that's PHYSICAL generations. There's a difference. Cultural gens can be as long/short as they need to depending on the shifts in technology/culture throughout the years.

Nice try, mister, but here is the real chart:

The generations thing usually confuses me as I find a lot of the things used to define where a gen ends and begins to be a bit arbitrary and inaccurate at times.

It's true, pretty much any statistic confirms it. Least amount of drug abuse, teen pregnancies, petty crimes, violent crimes, highest university acceptance rates, the list goes on.


I'm talking about teen culture, not some statistics. It pretty much sucks because it doesn't have a role for me. It has the least amount of rock hits, and it's mostly populated with godawful trap rap "songs". Not to mention that you probably need to have a smartphone in order to be cool. I know that teens are like rebels, but I just couldn't stand the facts. My smartphone isn't that addictive, since I only use it to watch YouTube videos and post on various message boards. That's f*cking it. I don't want people to know what I do in real life, since it's unnecessary.

TL;DR I don't find this decade's culture to be cool.

Eh, I hated the nasty ass crunk/snap rap when I was a teen too, and Gwen Stefani and Nickelback and all that stuff was gross. Popular music is always going to be bad, you just have to find your own thing.

Me too. Best of both worlds.

Funny thing is, according to Wikipedia, Gen Z starts in 1993 in Canada (at least, according to their Census Bureau)! :o

If some Americans think 1995 is too early a start date for Gen Z, then I'm curious to how they'd react to Canada's definition. ;D

I'm curious: did the Internet boom start earlier in your country or something?

I guess you're right. Nobody really liked popular music in any decade. They'll just be nostalgic for it when it's old to them.

I still hate the real 00's (2004-2009). I do not feel nostalgic for 99% of that crap. 2000/2001/2002 was so good while the rest of the decade was total garbage. Modern or not, still sucks. Saying the real 2000's are good is like saying "The dark ages were so good 'cause they were old". No, they sucked, too.

Saying something sucks and not letting nostalgia bias influence your opinion is fine. What I get pissy about is when people talk about how they loved an era just due to it being old. While when that era was still current they were too busy complaining about how it's not like the older time periods. Then we'd be seeing thousands of stupid memes or facebook posts about how modern day sucks and the old period (that they used to hate when it was the current era) is the last golden age or whatever.

Yeah, that sh!t's stupid. Some kid said to me on YouTube "omg 2006 is the last good year everything 2007 onward sucks ashually" and I educated him. I though the real 00's sucked while living them and I still hold that opinion to this day. I can't feel nostalgic for Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights or MySpace. Only the memories from the time I am nostalgia for, not the pop culture. I love 2000/2001/2002 (I like 2003) and cherish those days but I hate the rest of that decade and I can't see 2004-2006 ever being the last golden age.

"If it's modern then it sucks"


It's weird. I don't notice much hate for the 2010s from anyone over 20 or so. This forum is an exception. I shouldn't be surprised since it's a nostalgia forum, but most people around my age and a bit older seem to like TV shows, movies, music and technology of today.

The 2010's are probably better than the real 00's by a small margin. 0.5 maybe. If a wizard came up to me and said "Jordan, you can go back in time but only to 2005 or you can decline and stay in the present" then I'd stay here because living in the present is better than living in some sh!tty dark age past.

I can't even deny that people my age have weird fetishes. A lot of my friends openly talk about watching hentai or borderline illegal anime. But it wasn't us who started it. It was you pre-1987 millennials for sure. You corrupted the youth.

Well, there are people who have weird fetishes, and yet they're older than Slowpoke. They could be the same age as you, Jordan.

Don't worry. There aren't that much furries born in 1982. I think most of them were born around the mid 80s to mid 90s.

Don't try to make him feel better. Furry births peak at 1982. The laws that tried to ban teens from accessing furry were signed into law in 1996.

edit: I just realized all of this is in the wrong thread LOL It was meant to be in the 2008-2009 school year thread.  :o

There is literally nothing wrong with being born since 1987 or liking fictional characters, you oldies are just jealous of our swag. ;D

But really, don't see what's wrong with liking fictional characters - when you're a kid, that is.

Well the furry fandom got really big by the early 80s meaning that there were a lot of people who were born in the 60s-70s.

"Swag" is an interesting way to describe brain damage, Zelek. ;)

When I was a kid I liked real women! Kids these days prefer drawn lines over the real thing. Makes no sense to me.

You mean big by the mid 00's right? I got a chart that shows the rise of furry fandom and every year before 2004 is null.

And we drag it on for about 5-6 pages at the very least. Usually longer.

Where were you when Trollpoke showed those heinous charts of how "crime has decreased in the 2010's"!?! I was the one who had to show him the real charts. You must be sleeping on the job. >:(

Did that actually happen or are you just joking? I remember when there was a big discussion about the 80's vs 90's and we turned 20 pages into "when did furry culture begin" or that one where we discussed the "core 00's" and we once again turned it into "when did furry culture begin". My favorite was the one when we were discussing generations and I brought up all the suggestive Shrek products from 2004. That joke I made about "dipping cups" is probably one of my best.

And we drag it on for about 5-6 pages at the very least. Usually longer.
Just goes to show that we're terrible at discussing topics. But hey it's all for good fun. I may need to take some time off the forums as I hope that'll keep the topics from derailing.

Brah! I was busy with..errr.... listen Trollpo- I mean Slowpoke didn't want me interfering. He promised to pay me if I didn't interfere with his charts.

I shoulda known he'd resort to dirty tricks to make his precious 2010's look nice and clean! >:(


Good times good times.  8)


I just went back to the core 200's thread and it starts off with me saying that there have been no cultural changes since 2004 which causes Trollpoke to say "2004 is totally early 00's. It has more to do with your precious 1998-2003 era than my 2009-2012 era 8)" to which I respond by sending that great photo of "2004 to infinity". He then compares Ketchup of 1998 to that of 2004 and says "2004-onward is better" so I send him a photo of Ketchup in 1998 with the Dell Dude and Ketchup in 2004 (for wusses) and we carry this on for 15 pages.


That was the same thread we talked about 2 girls 1 cup and Lemonparty right?


That's the one where I bring up my experiences with rotten in the late 90s? We did that in 5 threads, didn't we?

That was the same thread we talked about 2 girls 1 cup and Lemonparty right?


Oh snap we talked about all that as well?! Yep, I think we're pretty bad at keeping things on topic. Take right now for example.  ;)

serious confusion
can't think or fallow

Anyone know what happened to ocarinafan96? He deleted his account? :o

Here's some derailing highlights:


2004 was far worse:

Sounds like other humans are getting in the way of my facts.



You mean my facts?? I'm the historian here.



1998 was just 2004 in general.  ;D

I know what I'm talking about, thank you. I was born before 1987.



The 2010's are the new 2004.



Jordan doesn't want to admit that 2004 has more in common with his 1998-2003 era than it does with my glorious 2009-2012.  8)



No, the spirit of 1998 only lasted through 1999 to 2002. 2003 was us getting out of our 1998 and moving towards our 2004 chairs to which we sit in today. There have been on cultural changes since 2004. '04 to infinity.

The only year you mention that 2004 has in common is 2003. 2004 is exactly like 2009-2012. I can't even tell the difference between those years and 2004. 8)



Were there people eating ketchup in 1998? Yes. Were there people eating ketchup in 2004? Yes.



Ketchup in 1998:

Oh true! That makes sense since he loves all things 2004! I still don't know what the "Pop Secret" is nor do I know why Shrek has his "I'm gonna be really forward with you" face on the twinkies box.

I only understood the first two hastags. You lost me with the rest.

These are horrible slang terms!! Swerve is when your car gets all f*cked up on the road, ratchet is a tool or a video game character, bae is poop so I don't see why anyone would say that to their sweetheart and rekt is how they spell "wrecked" on braindamageforums.org.

My most despised recent slang word is the word "f*ckboy". Whenever I see anyone use that as a swear word, I immediately know they were born after 1995.  ;D

Seeing it all as pointless is understandable. I mostly find the things that are used to define a generation to arbitrary and inaccurate. You're basically trying to sum up an entire generation/millions of people on things that aren't very accurate which tends to upset a lot of people.

Late millennial (1995)

I ask myself this exact question. The world was gone to the dogs.


I think our generation has gotten more stupider.

As someone born in 1993, I sadly agree. It's getting harder to find people my age that I can relate to. I'm sure they're there, but since I live in the Silicon Valley (which is where Apple's headquarters is located), it's quite a challenge.

Tanya said X ends at 1976 because you have to be an 80s teen. Everyone born after that including Early 90s Guy is a pansy millennial.

San Francisco is one of the dorkiest, nerdiest, lamest places in America! You are never going to find anyone trendy, cool, or even likable in that area. That city exemplifies everything about Northern California. That region is exactly like the Pacific Northwest: Irritating, holier-than-thou (ironically, they're worse), antisocial, cold, and even straight-up mean spirited. I've never been there, but I have a really close friend who lived there until her junior year of high school. No wonder you guys hate the 2010's!

I'd like to hear mxcrashxm and #Infinity's opinions on this, even though California is real huge with a lot of areas I don't know if people can pinpoint every area down there. I know many people who are San Francisco 49er fans though, despite the stadium being in Santa Clara now.

Oh nice. I live in SD. How's it like up there?


San Jose is always cool but it was better back in the day. It was the safest place in Cali before. The 'Poke may tell you crime is going down but over here it's gone up a lot.

In the 2010's maybe but it wasn't like this in the 90's and early 00's. I suggest you visit the area and experience it's first hand before judging, though. If you don't like it after that, fair enough, but you don't really know a place until you've been there yourself.

From my point of view, it really depends on the area, since San Jose is huge. I live near the border between San Jose and Cupertino. So it gets duller as I get closer to Cupertino. San Jose itself, is pretty cool in general. Nice scenery, good restaurants, downtown is pretty cool (save for a few shady areas), decent public transportation. Though like Jordan said, San Jose was a lot better back in the day, with less crime and of course, less hipsters (if any at all).

For the longest time it's been nice, clean, good climate and there's lots of stuff to do but I dunno what's happened in the past few years with crime and everything. It's still a great place to live (and it's no Oakland, which I think has the highest crime in Norcal) but it doesn't have the reputation it once had. I dunno what the hell is up. For the rest of the world, it seems crime is going down but for San Jose it's just going up and up! That pisses me off. All the Skate Parks and record stores are filled with hipsters on a bad day. Stop by Mayfair or Streetlight and some undercut doofus is always taking up space doing literally nothing! Back in the day (1996-2003), it was enthusiastic bleach haired kids who wanted to skate and listen to records. This is Norcal, home of Green Day, for god sakes! Nowadays, everyone is too cool to have fun. There is a place in Berkley called 924 Gilman; it's a Punk club that's been open since 1986 and it used to be really cool. My first shows were at that place in the mid 90's and it ruled. Nowadays, it's dorks with thick rims standing around for their "cred".

I just wish he brought up a reason why he deleted his account. He even retired on Personality Cafe for some reason.

He was a nice guy! What happened? I would have thought maybe the mods thought he posted too many cultural era lists or something, but since he abandoned Personality Cafe as well, his disappearance is a complete mystery.

RIP ocarinafan :\'( He probably needed to focus more on college or something.


Are you serious! Ocarinafan retired. That really sucks, he was a good person

Tanya said X ends at 1976 because you have to be an 80s teen. Everyone born after that including Early 90s Guy is a pansy millennial.

Same, I have a HUGE Physics II test 9 days from now. It's that big, it covers six chapters all electricity and circuits related.

To me, generations are dumb because finding a definitive "cut off" year is nigh impossible.

It's like people who try to split up the eras of a musician or band. Some people will argue that Album 7 belongs in Era A and not Era B because it's stylistically closer to Era A than Era B, despite the "pop sellout" and ballad influences of Era B creeping in ever so slowly. Other people will argue that Album 7 belongs in Era B as opposed to Era A because there are no 20-minute long prog rock epics, and Album 7 had the band's first ever #1 single "I Luv You" which disgusted many longtime fans blah blah blah ;D

I can't agree more. I can understand the reasons behind generations, but the fact that a lot of the things used to define a generation aren't very accurate. It's impossible to try and come up with something accurate that can define millions of people yet people try to anyways.  ::)

As mentioned tons of times before I consider a lot of reasons behind cut off dates to be arbitrary.

They say Toronto is the safest big city in North America, but they're talking about pussy ass crimes like murder. Down in T-Dot, the big smoke, we're all about tru crime like loitering and blasting Drake's Hotline Bling from our cellphone speakers. Real talk. Real dangerous. We also elected a crack smoking mayor. Watch out. Grr.

2000-2002 Good Charlotte disagrees so they wrote a Pop Punk-Rap about how Washington's mayor smoked crack first. Drake isn't even a real street rapper so he should take notes from Zebrahead, Sum 41 or even The Starting Line (who are infinitely more street/hair bleach than Drake).

Now to be honest I really enjoy both of the rappers and think all of them are equally great, I can't really choose between the two, but nobody can say Drake is a terrible rapper though, that's just absurd in my book. He's come up with some legendary lyrics, beats and instrumentals that get stuck in your head since 2009-present. Whether it's his song or he's featured in it.

That's your age talking. The Beastie Boys revolutionized hip hop. Smash Mouth made awful music.


Run–D.M.C., N.W.A., Outkast, 2-Pac, Eminem, and Wu-Tang Clan definitely revolutionized hip hop. I would say NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" or  Run DMC's "Peter Piper" out of all of them.

and as much as some people don't want to admit it, Jay-Z and Drake have revolutionized modern hip hop too.

Outkast, Wu-Tang Clan, and Eminem are the sheesh. Jay-Z's earlier work isn't bad but Drake is just bad.

So did the Beastie Boys. They brought Hip Hop to new levels with Check Your Head by playing their own instruments. Many producers look at Paul's Boutique as the album that revolutionized sampling and brought it to new heights. Run-DMC >> Everything else, of course, I will not deny that but the Beasties are incredibly important to da hip hop hiztory.


His work from Infinite to Eminem Show is his best but I don't think MML2 is that bad. When he started being less Slim Shady is when he started to suck but he at least tries to bring Slim Shady back in MML2.


Yeah, but he doesn't do that good a job. Slim Shady's prime was 1997-2003 and this comeback feels weak compared to that. Where's the Shady theme, too? We had What's My Name, Real Slim Shady and Without Me but on MMLP2 we got nothing.

They're kinda already doing that. I've read articles on them and have their own characteristics. For example, many seem to be queer (or pansexual), entrepreneurs, and on less known social networks. In addition, we even know they are willing to change the world and put judgements to rest. Right now, there are a few celebrities in that generation who are making names for them.

I guess Gen Y, but my aesthetics and heart belong to Gen X.

Generation Y is everyone born up to the year 2000. Also known as "Millennials". Gen Z is anyone born after 2000. There's no such thing as Y/Z cusp.

When people say Y/Z cusp, they don't mean literally, they mean that their lives growing up are in the transition from Y to Z. If there's an immediate cutoff for Y and an immediate start for Z, then what happens is that people start getting into arguments and they're like "we're only one year apart so why can't we be part of the same generation"? So there has to be a cutoff or a transition period eventually. As a 1996 born can't consider myself as completely Y and I can't consider myself as completely Z either. Whether we want to admit it or not, a lot of sources or demographics always consider us as apart of the Z or homelanders generation, but many others consider us as the tail end of millennials or Y too. In other words I'm too young for many Y stereotypes but at the same time I'm too old for many Z stereotypes. I do relate to some Y and Z stereotypes though, but it's an even mixture of both. Slim, you could even say that it felt like we had a Y childhood but since our teenage years up to present it feels like we're apart of Z with all the technology and internet on all platforms that's taken over our culture. When it comes to the eras of pop culture when it shifted over from Y to Z people have different opinions on that.

If it makes you feel better I don't see you as Z at all. :)
And I'm curious what Y stereotypes are you referring to? ???

I just say I'm Late Y(Millennial)... not any y/z bullsheesh!

Actually all of the facts, research and data I've from many different articles said Gen Y is until 2000. This Y/Z stuff only got started on this forum.

I just say I'm Late Y(Millennial)... not any y/z bullsheesh!


I always felt Gen Z actually, because I don't remember a time when computer weren't common. My dad bought our computer when I was 4. I don't claim ages 0-3 because those aren't my formative years. Now if we're talking about a time when computers weren't essential (1999/2000) I was only 7 years old, those years aren't very formative. Only when I start getting into my teen/young adult years do the similarities to Gen Y pop in, with the flip phones and the iPods and the Bush hating and the Obama loving LOL.  "Y/Z cusp" seems to define me accurately. I always felt I was the bridge between two eras. Maybe personal life experience goes into it as well. We're all datapoints on one large graph, and the point is to find the trendlines :D

I just say I'm Late Y(Millennial)... not any y/z bullsheesh!

Yeah same here.

Generation Y is everyone born up to the year 2000. Also known as "Millennials". Gen Z is anyone born after 2000. There's no such thing as Y/Z cusp.


2000 makes the most sense as it's pretty much the reason why the generation is called "Millennials" in the first place.

Right now, there are a few celebrities in that generation who are making names for them.

Such as? I'm guessing Jaden Smith is one of them, heh.

Actually all of the facts, research and data I've from many different articles said Gen Y is until 2000. This Y/Z stuff only got started on this forum.

For many years that was the case, but around 2012, most business, demographers, marketers, etc. started to "refine" the Gen Y definition from 1980-2000 to 1980-1994, with Gen Z being 1995-2009.

Such as? I'm guessing Jaden Smith is one of them, heh.


Rebecca Black definitely. Think about it. She releases a crappy song at the age of 13 and her life is now hell because of all the social media, people can b*tch to her directly. In contrast, if I release a crappy song in 2006, I get rich, I drop put of school,  and people see me rollin' they hatin', and I'm just another Soulja Boy.

Yep and so is Amandla Steinberg, Rowan Blanchard (star of Girl Meets World), and Kylie Jenner.

Generation X; though I must tell you that this Generation ends at 1977 as a birth year. I was born in 1976 and have absolutely nothing in common with those born in the 80s. Sorry.

Tanya


Uh, no. The final year of Generation X birth dates is 1981. And saying you "have absolutely nothing in common with those born in the 80s"? You were born in 1976. Someone born in 1980 and even 1981 is not going to be different from you. As a matter of fact, from my first hand experience, you guys are culturally part of the same era. You guys like the same music, clothes, tv shows, movies, etc. Aka, the 1990's. Four years isn't a generation gap at all.

except the difference is that this one was created long before that aforementioned thread and when the D word became an offense. In addition, the generations at that time were way different than they are today.

A lot of energy drinks are too sugary and unhealthy for you, and could make you crash. Granted, different flavors of Monster, Rockstar, or Red Bull energy drinks taste sooo temptingly good but I can't poison my body. I workout at the gym a lot and run miles daily. I have to drink a lot of water throughout the day, 100% juices after breakfast/lunch/dinner, and Powerade/Gatorade after a workout.

Oh okay interesting, I didn't know that because I never had an energy drink in my life.


Yeah, I remember throughout my 4 years of running cross country in high school a lot of us were told a bunch of foods and drinks that are highly recommended to eat/drink or not to eat/drink. Sports drinks like Powerade, Gatorade, or some of the sports drink powders that you mix with water are ok, especially after a hard workout, race, or game.

They also have caffeine in most of them, which could be addictive to some people.
Gatorade contains water, sucrose (table sugar), dextrose, citric acid, natural flavor, sodium chloride (table salt), sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, and flavoring/coloring ingredients; some Gatorade flavor variations use brominated vegetable oil as a stabilizer. It all sounds lethal?

Also Glucose Syrup?


I don't think a lot of people would be addicted to glucose syrup, but it's a bit unhealthy.

Gatorade is better if you're exercising. Gotta replace your electrolytes (sodium, potassium etc.). If you're not doing anything then yes, water is better.

Water is still better after even the most heaviest exercise.... Water is all you need. You don't need the extra sugar in gatorade. It is much healthier to use water instead of gatorade for exercise..

If you did heavy exercise for extended periods of time drinking only water you would drop dead earlier than if you drank Gatorade. You need more than water; when you sweat you lose the electrolytes I previously mentioned. If you run low on sodium, the nerves in your body don't activate as quickly and could possibly give up.

Yes, I can agree with this, although it's still really good to have after a workout. Now without a workout I can see where you're coming from. Gatorade or Powerade isn't mandatory of course. I agree that water is better without a workout. Half of the ingredients from Gatorade you could get by eating fruits like a Banana.

I agree. Gatorade is the superior sports drink and I have been drinking it for 30 years. Sometimes people don't think Gatorade is good or whatever and the dweebs drink Powerade but I gotta step in and tell 'em "Hey, I know you think it's fun to make friends with Richard and Karl and drink some Powerade but if you want to attract women then Gatorade is the way to go"

Generation Y is everyone born up to the year 2000. Also known as "Millennials". Gen Z is anyone born after 2000. There's no such thing as Y/Z cusp.
This is something I don't actually see in articles or in research about this generation. The reason is that the analysts split the generations into two instead of 3.


I always felt Gen Z actually, because I don't remember a time when computer weren't common. My dad bought our computer when I was 4. I don't claim ages 0-3 because those aren't my formative years. Now if we're talking about a time when computers weren't essential (1999/2000) I was only 7 years old, those years aren't very formative. Only when I start getting into my teen/young adult years do the similarities to Gen Y pop in, with the flip phones and the iPods and the Bush hating and the Obama loving LOL.  "Y/Z cusp" seems to define me accurately. I always felt I was the bridge between two eras. Maybe personal life experience goes into it as well. We're all datapoints on one large graph, and the point is to find the trendlines :D
It's more than just PCs being common. You have to also look at characteristics, education, events etc. Then, you can see what generation you're part of. 


For many years that was the case, but around 2012, most business, demographers, marketers, etc. started to "refine" the Gen Y definition from 1980-2000 to 1980-1994, with Gen Z being 1995-2009.
Actually, the 1980-94 group was used long before. There are many old articles and discussions regarding that cohort.


I just say I'm Late Y(Millennial)... not any y/z bullsheesh!
Honestly, there isn't really 3 cohorts within each generation. There are only two which consists of older and younger.

Me too. Even though I probably won't be the targeted demographic anymore (though I'll still be in my 20s  :D), I'm hoping the late 2010s and early 2020s has a much richer culture, that has more substance than the current era. I'm also hoping there's a stronger sense of individualism in the future. The 2010s (especially 2013-2016) seem to be very collectivist.

The 80's is 1980-1989, that whole decade felt entirely 80's. ;)

1990-1992 is still pretty 80s but since it's not a 198X year, it doesn't define the decade. :P

2004 was the first full year things felt completely mid 2000's (culturally). The huge transition year was 2003.

No 2003 was not a huge transition year. The change felt gradual in the decade. 2008 felt way more transitional.

Yeah, probably.

Why are 2001 and 2002 not respect like they should be? I am disgusted but I'm also glad you put 2000 at the top. 2000 was indeed a mighty, mighty year. My list is:


2000 = 2001 = 2002

2003



Everything else.


You're right. I should of said 2003.


Admit it, some early 2000s years are better than others.


How did you figure that out? ???


Every 15 years ;D

I was trolling :P


I'm gonna be 30 in 2025.  :o


2023 for me.  :o I'm sort of relieved actually. Hopefully I'll have settled down by then. I'm done with partying, give me kids and a house. ;D

Admit it, some early 2000s years are better than others.



Why on earth would I do that? I love each year of the early 00's equally. They're all incredible and mighty in the same way.

Jesus, I never thought I'd hit my 40's this quick. :-\\

No 2003 was not a huge transition year. The change felt gradual in the decade. 2008 felt way more transitional.


2008 & 2009 were both huge transition years from 2000's to 2010's culture. I agree that 2008 & 2009 were more transitional than 2003, but that doesn't mean 2003 wasn't a transitional year though. 2003 was still the transition year from early 2000's to core 2000's culture. While the transition was complete by the start of 2004 which marked the beginning of mid 2000's culture. I'd say that 2001, 2003, 2008, and 2009 were the most transitional years of the 2000's decade, this is going by how the culture was in the U.S. by the way. If you lived in Canada then it's up to you to decide.

Even though I'm not a Homelander myself, I still can't wait for the Homeland pop culture to take off, so how I would see the pop culture of the 2020s. I'll give it like one or two years, because we're almost at the end of the Millennial pop culture.
I think we are at the end because most Millennials are over the age of the target audience, so pop culture is now beginning to focus more on the Plural generation. I say by late next year or 2018, the Millennial culture will be over as all of them will be finished with HS and then 1/3 of them will be in college thus making the Plural pop culture in full force.


I know I say this a billion times, but I hope late 2010s/early 2020s culture sets off something.



Me too. Even though I probably won't be the targeted demographic anymore (though I'll still be in my 20s  :D), I'm hoping the late 2010s and early 2020s has a much richer culture, that has more substance than the current era. I'm also hoping there's a stronger sense of individualism in the future. The 2010s (especially 2013-2016) seem to be very collectivist.


I agree with both of you. I'm hoping the same way.



Why are 2001 and 2002 not respect like they should be? I am disgusted but I'm also glad you put 2000 at the top. 2000 was indeed a mighty, mighty year. My list is:


2000 = 2001 = 2002

2003


That's your rank for Pop punk ;). How about the other genres?

That's your rank for Pop punk ;). How about the other genres?


That's my rank for those years in general, not just music. ;)

But talking genres, it's all the same. 2000 = 2001 = 2002; they're all around the same amount of good/bad. I love every year of the late 90's and early 00s equally.

I'll be... uhh... 43...

I dunno. I'm still thinking about it.

The late 2010s won't be that different. It's like the 80s where 1991 was like the late 80s, which were like the mid-80s. 2021 will be like that. I asked my psychic. She saw a vision of old dads wearing skinny jeans and manbuns.

No, you can't pair the 2000's with the 2010's. Both decades are very different. It's like pairing the 1980's with the 1990's when you said that.

No way, there is very little difference between the 2000s and 2010's on a relative scale... Certainly nowhere near the difference between the 90s and 80s or any other pair of decades we have had recently. You can list a lot of cultural differences and technological differences between the 2000s and 2010's, so can I, but relatively speaking, the 2000s and 2010's are very similar decades to each other. Maybe that will change later on this decade. Everyone tries to find differences which there are, but there are very few differences when you're comparing it to other decades. I'm not gonna go too deep into this because it is bordering decadology territory.

EXACTLY!!!! The core 2000s weren't like the core 2010s  AT ALL. Maybe the VERY late 2000s(Late 2008/2009) were.....
Just like the heart of the 80s WAS VERY different from the heart of the 90s.

When you look at the scale of all decades, you will see they are not as different as you think. 80s - No internet, 90s - slow internet no social media, 2000s fast internet with social media, mobile phones. 2010's - fast internet with advanced social media, advanced mobile phones. See my point?

But I agree with you on everything else.

You must look at it objectively in the span of all decades. There are a lot differences of course.I'm not saying there aren't. But they are still similar when you look at the big picture. 2006 and 2016 are very similar to each other on a 50 year scale...

If I'm not mistaken, I remember him saying he was born in December 1996, which would make him late 90's because he's really 19 for most of this year along with the first half of 1997 born's, while I'm 20 for most of this year along with the first half of 1996 born's and the second half of 1995 born's including yourself. April 1995 is equally distant apart from my birth month/year as December 1996.

If you go on his profile, his age is listed as 20. That means his birthday was either this month or last month.

As mentioned before, some people divide decades in halves instead of thirds: xxx0-xxx5 is the "early" part of that decade, while xxx6-xx9 is the "late" part of that decade.

It should be noted that while this method is popular among some people, it's technically mathematically incorrect. xxx0-xxx4 would be the first half of the decade, while xxx5-xxx9 should be the second half.

My bad, and yeah, I thought it was somebody else on here who said he was was born late in 1996 or maybe any other month. In fact, before ocarinafan left, I notice there are a lot of us on this site who graduated HS in 2014 or were born in 1995 or 1996. Anyways, January 1, XXX0 - April 30, XXX3 is the early part of a decade, May 1, XXX3 - August 31, XXX6 is the mid part of a decade, and September 1, XXX6 - December 31, XXX9 is the late part of a decade.

Time for some unneeded math.

10 years in a decade. 12 months in a year.
10 x 12  = 120
Early/Mid/Late is 3 parts
120/3 = 40

Early '90s = Janurary 1990 - April 1993 (First 40 months)
Mid '90s = May 1993 - August 1996 (Second 40 months)
Late '90s = September 1996 - December 1999 (Third 40 months)

First 40 months is early
Second 40 months is mid
third 40 months is late
After the 3rd 40 months the decade ends

Although I think I messed up in my math somewhere. Oh well.

Dec '96 is late '90s numerically as it exists within the 3rd set of 40 months within the decade.

Well that's very inaccurate and hardly anybody says that. That's the first 6 years of a decade vs. the last 4 years of a decade. You mean XXX0 - XXX4 is early while XXX5 - XXX9 is late? But that still doesn't make any sense and still hardly anybody goes by that. The majority of people say that XXX0 - XXX3 is the early part, XXX4 - XXX6 is the mid part, and XXX7 - XXX9 is late. In reality XXX3 could be early or mid and XXX6 could be mid or late. XXX0 - XXX2 will always be early, XXX4 & XXX5 will always be mid, and XXX7 - XXX9 will always be late. Some people take out the XXX0 and go by the "no such thing as zero in a decade rule" and say that XXX1 - XXX3 is early, XXX4 - XXX6 is mid, and XXX7 - XXX9 is late. What I said in my previous comment is the fact though.

The thing that I hate about this whole generation thing. For the longest of time it's been said that millennials are always using social media. And as of 2016 they're NOW saying that they're not always on social media. A problem with the whole generation thing is not only that it can be inaccurate, but the constant updating on defining characteristics on generations bugs me. For example how many different year spans for Gen millennial and plurals now? Heck by 2050 people will still be updating and changing definitions.

Yeepp... :-\\

Well Millennials are still using social media, but they're not using all of them. If you see the ones about Millennials, a majority use FB the most often with Snapchat being the least. For Plurals, it's Snapchat the most with FB the least. All the others are in between; however, the age groups of Millennials have been divided into 3.

1997ers are debatable... :-\\ It's only MY opinion, but those 97ers are when the transition from Y to Z begins. But 1998-2000 born.... I guess Y/Z! But I dislike using the term though. ;D

I've said it many times before, but anyone born from 1995-2000 could either be part of Generation Y (millennials) or Generation Z (homelanders) by demographics based off arbitrary opinions and theories. 1995-1997 leans towards Y, while 1998-2000 leans towards Z. 1995-2000 as a whole could be the transition from Y to Z, but aren't completely Y or completely Z based off demographics. 1994 is the last true Y since everybody agrees that 1994 is still part of Y, while 2001 is the first true Z since everybody agrees that 2001 is part of Z. When people say "Y/Z cusp" they mean in the transition period from Y to Z based off stereotypes, they're not trying to be literal. This is not my opinion, but these are facts based off what I've seen. I'm not the one who makes these decisions. So whatever generation you want to be apart of it's up to you or many other people to decide. Nobody can force to us to decide what generation we feel like we're apart of. Just stick with "Late Y" like you've always have.

So whatever generation you want to be apart of it's up to you or many other people to decide. Nobody can force to us to decide what generation we feel like we're apart of. Just stick with "Late Y" like you've always have.


I felt like I'm a Y/Z cusp, since my preschool years happened during the early 2000s, while my early elementary school years (K-2) happened during the mid 2000s. Despite having the 2006-07 school year being half mid '00s/half late '00s, I think the cultural late 2000s started in the spring of 2007. Possibly around March or April. Since that was when late 2006 vibes came off from the year.

If Popsugar says 1977-1983 (Gen X/Y cusp) is "the Oregon Trail generation", then 1994-2000 (Y/Z cusp) could be "the Runescape generation". ;D

More like "the Pokemon generation". Runescape was popular during the early 2000s, but barely anybody played it after the mid 2000s. Plus, the game was towards older kids and young teens. So, I suppose Runescape shouldn't be placed that way.

I've said it many times before, but anyone born from 1995-2000 could either be part of Generation Y (millennials) or Generation Z (homelanders) by demographics based off arbitrary opinions and theories. 1995-1997 leans towards Y, while 1998-2000 leans towards Z. 1995-2000 as a whole could be the transition from Y to Z, but aren't completely Y or completely Z based off demographics. 1994 is the last true Y since everybody agrees that 1994 is still part of Y, while 2001 is the first true Z since everybody agrees that 2001 is part of Z.

Well... you have your opinion and I have mine; you are NOT going to change my mind!!


Also, I consider 94ers late Y just like me! Btw... I'm curious what do you consider to be solid late Y.

Are you watching the NCAA Basketball Championship right now? It's pretty good! Anyway, go back and read the last three sentences of my post. I'm not changing your mind at all.  ;D

It's really hard to pinpoint whether I'm solid late Y or early Z. I'm not sure. To be honest in reality I'm in the transition from Y to Z but by heart I will always feel like a late millennial. I've kinda moved on from these generation discussions though. I need to give it a rest now since I've debated on this for too long. You can go archive my older posts on this thread.

I know it's off topic, but I think anyone born during Clinton's FIRST term can definitely call themselves late Yers.

I hope you guys know that there are actually two groups of the Millennials.  It's better to have older and younger as it's less confusing. 

1994-96 could be the youngest millennials while 1998-2000 could be the oldest Plurals. 1997 could swing both ways.

Hmm, defining generations based on presidential terms is actually a pretty interesting concept. How would you say kids born in Reagan's second term stack up?

Runescape was very popular, at least in 2005 among my peers.

I don't think it was popular towards kids born in the mid-late 90s/very early 2000s.

I had many friends and acquaintances in my grade who started getting into RuneScape since mid-way through elementary school. I didn't get on there but there were many people around my age group who experienced it in its prime.

Okay, maybe it was only popular towards late 80s/early-mid 90s babies. The hell if I know.
