Gen Xers:
Were born after the vietnam war ended.
Were told about the Challenger explosion by their teachers.
Were scared to death by "The Day After" on TV.
Talked about the Berlin wall falling in Social Studies.
Wore parachute pants so you Couldn't touch this.
Drove our parent's cars with the headlights on to "Support are Troops".
Rocked the vote.
Wore Grunge while Jeremy spoke.
Were the last group of college graduates where everyone got a job right away.
Let millennials give us our Dadtoos, but hate to hire them for anything else.

Parachute pants were early 80's and tight, and full of zippers.

Hammer pants were 90's and super loose.

Watched the Challenger explosion live on TV, quietly returned to their desks and waited at least one week before the horrible NASA and Sally Ride jokes started on the playground.

Also, I've seen "after Vietnam War mentioned" and that would put me as being in the oldest group of gen Xers and that can't be right because that would make the generation only 7-10 years long if the millenials start in the early to mid 80s and 'Nam ended in '75.

If Gen X succeeded baby boomers they were born between '60 and '80 roughly.

And I thought millennials were born in like 1997.

The realization that it's mostly Millenials posting in the Millenial thread. And many of the posts are about Gen Z. I was born in '87 and I can't think of anyone from my group of peers who meets most of the Millenial criteria.

I smoked a few cigarettes and loved the nicotine but hated the sensation of smoke in my lungs, so I've been tempted to vape because nicotine is pretty great. At this point it's also way cheaper than smoking.

e: Also Millennials are supposed to start at 82, but they're also supposed to have "grown up" with the internet and I didn't grow up with the internet. I didn't have internet access until I was in high school. The internet didn't see wide adoption until the mid-90's and most people born in the 80's would've been 12-18 when the internet really blew up. They'd remember a time before the internet.

I quit smoking after 20 years, cold turkey, and dealt with all of the misery and ache that it entails.

If I try to feel proud of myself and tell anyone about it I get met with "JUST VAPE MAN! ITS BETTER FOR YOU" *poooofffffffycloudofsteam*

Keep inhaling those chemicals from china, you jackasses, I hope you all get vocal cord parasites.

That's really my problem with the conception of Millennials including people born in the 80s, My real first forays onto the internet were when I was 14, before that I did have BBS but that's a different beast and I was still like 9 or 10 when that happened. I have very clear memories of the world before the internet and even then when the internet was first really hitting it didn't affect the real world very far. Whereas my concept of a Millennial is somebody who can't live without their phone/internet, I didn't care to own a cellphone till I was 20.

Also, don't vape, they explode:

Gen Y didn't really catch on enough and was too derivative so despite "Millenial" sounding like kids who should have been born around the turn of the millenium it's basically used for just about anyone born after Gen X, even though the first decade of that doesn't really fit the characteristics we ascribe to Millenials. It's almost like none of this is an exact science and just boils down to old people complaining about young people.

Good to see older Gen X'ers move into the position now that their Boomer parents had when they were young, i.e. chastizing and whining about the youngest members of the generation immediately following them. Only 10 more years until you start waving your canes and whinging about how Daria was REAL tv.

I smoked for like 12 years and vaping was really nice for getting off of cigarettes but vaping culture is the most embarrassing thing.

I rarely use mine in public but when I do my friends usually make fun of me cause no one thinks they are cool. Rightfully so.

Of course I fully expect them to end up being worse than cigs because that's how the world works and they already give you popcorn lung.
