which generation are you from

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

I am defo a part of:

Generation X(not the band) & sorry, I always think of the above film when I hear that term
however, it seems that while many of us fall into the stereotype of being some combination of:
intellectual, materialistic, slacker & disenfranchised
studies show that a lot of my generation are:
educated, active, balanced, happy and family oriented
what about you?

update:
this thread inspired by a short article I read

I think our generation is the best because we experienced the best in music as it happened. I wouldn't change a thing.

Obsession with weight is materialistic. You judge the material portion of the person versus the spiritual or moral portion of the person.

Me neither. Loved growing up in the 80s.

I am a materialist, in a metaphysical sense of the word. I believe that the only thing that exists is matter. I am not a materialistic person--one who places excessive value upon material objects/goods (consumerism/capitalism). You have your definitions mixed up. BTW, there is no such think as a spirit, according to a materialist. So your point is moot.

Gen X

I am a poster child for what the studies have found. I am the opposite of the stereotype.

It's called participating in the conversation, Robby. Quit telling people who they should like, what they should do and who is a troll and not a troll. You're a control freak.

 

[troubleluvsme]

I am also a Gen X.

cool
&
I don't understand poll results I can see the names of 4 of the people that voted "Gen X"
but none of the names that voted "Millennials"

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

so I was out n' about and was talking about generations with people when a Chinese person schooled me on how they have their own whole "generation" thing here
only its breaks down like this:

Pre-60s, their "gr8 generation" the ones still in charge

Post-70s, which for some reason means people born in the 70s they are supposedly characterized by being once "freedom loving" but now more interested in making $, when I heard this I thought that could describe anybody around 40 rather than 20

Post-80s, also sometimes called China's Generation Y* in spite of China's "1 child policy" this amounts to 240 million people
they are seen as the optimistic generation here, spoiled by others
and either way, the engine which drives the booming economy here, many as slaves to it, somethings gotta give
I don't think they are going to wait for the their elders to die off before demanding a bigger share

Post-90s, this is the "sexual revolution generation" here in mainland China, the older members of this generation are often still not married, they are far more likely to date who they want to and many of them even engage in premarital sex


*=a misnomer in my opinion since they are nothing like our western "Generation Y"

I'm Gen X too, although I'm on the cusp of Gen Y, being born in the late 70's. I have affection for both the 80's (when I was a kid) and the 90's (teenage years). I know many won't agree but I'll always have the ultimate soft spot for early-mid 90's alternative because that's when I was "coming of age"
