Late Boomers (1959-1964)

Gen X
1965-1981
Early Gen X (1965-1968)

Mid Alpha (2024-2030)
Late Alpha (2031-2036)

Not bad, but this will probably get locked

Probably but hey it was fun taking the time creating it.

Why does this need another thread? It's bad enough we talked so much about arbitrary generations, but it's just gone up to the point where it's really tedious.

And what exactly is . about?

And what exactly is . about?
It was just another generation thread, just ignore it.

Interesting list Exodus. I think what would make it less "unnecessary" is if you extensively annotated your list.

All of these definitions creepily coincide each other with the Chinese Zodiac.

However, I don't think that making generation threads are very productive; they usually get blocked and during the time they are not blocked, flame wars and arguments usually happen over cutoff dates.

This is what will happen if someone says that the Millennials are 1980-1994 for example.
"Why not include early 1995? We were all alive before Windows 95 got released"
"Why not include 1996? They are the last to have a likely chance of remembering 9/11 and became teenagers in the 2000's"
"Why not early 1997 because we were born before the Dot Com Bubble started to grow even more and we were still born before the fall of the British Empire"
"Why not include early AND mid 1997 because we would still graduate college in the 2010's"
"Why not include 1998? They can vote in the 2016 election, completed all their K-5's in the 00's, and could purchase alcohol within three years"
"Why not include early 1999 because we still can remember 9/11 unlike people born later in the year. Not to mention Columbine"
"Why not include all of 1999 we were all alive before the Y2K bug was supposed to happen and all of us were still born in the 90's?"
"Why not 2000? We were the last to be alive in the 20th century"
"If 1999ers can be millennials, why can't us 2000-mid 2001 borns be too because all of us were born before 9/11?"
"2001 babies still should be millennials because they completed most of their K-5's in the 00's and they will graduate and become adults in the 2010's"
"2002? We could still vote in 2020!"

These arguments will just escalate and never come to a conclusion.

As long as you are a good person, then I could relate with you easily, regardless of your age.

It never will be. All these arguments bring in nothing but an endless pit of impossibility that could be solved.

It shouldn't bother anyone. I'm thick skinned so these threads don't bother me.

1982-2000 seems like the most common range. i rarely see the 1995 cutoff anymore

p.s. i would group it 1981-1985 early millennials, 1986-1992 core millennials, 1993-2000 late millennials
