It's funny when you think about Stein's meaning about the 'lost generation'. She was referring to all the dead and how hard it was to get a plumber or a mechanic or a builder and then on one side of the Atlantic you have America flexing its new global power and entering into an age of debauchery and growth and in France, you have all these artsy American emigrants playing at being louche or nihilistic.

And since these generations are largely bullshit, anyway, intended for book sales, PR and advertsing pitches, let's just go back and name the others. What's the generation that was born in 1840, generation blood?
― L'ennui, cette maladie de tous les (Michael White), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:18 (twelve years ago) link
I'm either x or y depending on whether 1976 counts as "late 70's" or "70's", shrug
really want to vote boomers almost entirely because The Big Chill and all that boomer bullshit. Fucking HATE that narrative of a bunch of luded out fuckups who blame their entire failure on the world and the war and oh we changed the world and now I just don't know how to deaaaaaaaal maaaaaan. generation of whiny emotional dropouts ignoring their children yay
barf
but millenials are just so fucking entitled
I'm v torn
maybe I should focus my rage on the silents.

i agree that it's 1980. i was quoting wiki in my post way above. wiki is wrong tho.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
wiki bullshit
Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western post–World War II baby boom ended. While there is no universally agreed upon time frame, the term generally includes people born from the early 1960s through the early 1980s, usually no later than 1981 or 1982.
Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation (or Millennials or the ME generation), Generation Next, the Net Generation the Echo Boomers are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when the Millennial generation starts and ends, and commentators have used birth dates ranging somewhere from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s, early or mid 1990s, or as late as the mid 2000s. Net Generation, The most common range reflects births from 1980-1999 giving a child born in 1980 time to grow into adulthood and be able to reproduce their own offspring at the turn of the millennium.

tbf unless you really connect well to only people younger or older there seems to be kind of a 1978ish-1983ish island of people who don't really identify as either
― mh, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
maybe we should call those of u straddling the gen x/millennial boundary "the ilx generation"
