August 14, 20232 yr It also lists people that are as old as 45. Since when does someone born in 1978 qualify as a millennial?
August 14, 20232 yr Oh, it must be JD Vance and Anna Paulina Luna who are leading this movement of young, intelligent conservatives... Seriously, find more than 5 names on that list of people who aren't laughable performance artists.

My own personal view is the massive difference is people who had high speed internet in high school, so more like those born after ~1984. People under 40.

To be fair, isn't pretty much everyone in the house (and even half of senators) either an imbecile or laughable performance artist? Aside from guys like Amash, Kinzinger, and Liz Cheney, who else in the house hasn't fit that description? Locally speaking, we had Peter Meijer and Fred Upton, but they were pushed out too.

Just about everyone on that list is an imbecile I wouldn't trust as the night manager of a Denny's. And you guys have John Fetterman, Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy, Brian Fitzpatrick, Rashida Talib, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Also, I checked the range, and the website you originally posted was incorrect on labeling millennials as the cut off for Gen X is 1980. So Josh Hawley is actually a Gen X.

If you want to use 1984 as the cut off for Gen X, then you can add Eric Swalwell, Matt Gaetz, and Ilhan Omar to your generation as well. And to be honest that’s a trade I’m willing to make.
August 14, 20232 yr Just now, Bill said: OK, I looked it up. MFer's b-day is 12/31/79 -- we not taking this clown over a few hours. The much larger issue is no one with any intelligence or talent would ever run for office. So it's the preferred choice for untalented cretins who have no other viable way to achieve wealth.
August 14, 20232 yr 1982 makes sense as the cut-off. Millennials are people who graduated from high school in 2000 and afterwards. However, if you move it back to when they graduated from college then 1978 makes sense. Either way I’m still Gen X and Dr. Philly is still a boomer,
August 14, 20232 yr Gen X: analog childhood (landline telephone, ota tv, typewriters, record players and cassette tapes) digital adulthood (computers, internet, broadband, etc.) Millennial: digital childhood and adulthood. They grew up with computers and internet their entire lives. There is a fringe generation from about 1978-1985, Xennial, who grew up on both sides. Childhood started out analog, but the changeover happened while they were still kids. They look like older Gen X to millennials, but they seem like millennials to Gen X.

Childhood started out analog, but the changeover happened while they were still kids. They look like older Gen X to millennials, but they seem like millennials to Gen X. I was born in 1979. We got AOL dial-up when I was in high school, which was basically revolutionary because I could get the box score for west coast baseball games that ended too late to make the paper. I didn't get high speed internet until after college -- had I lived on campus as an upper classman, I would have gotten it. No cell phone until senior year of college, and most kids in my class didn't get a cell phone until after graduation. Napster in 1999 was mind blowing, but it took all night to download 5 songs.
August 14, 20232 yr I was just texting with someone about Napster this weekend. We must have had a better connection than Vikas though because I remember being able to download more than five songs. I guess Vikas was one of the poors
August 14, 20232 yr Born in '78 and I didn't have internet until at least my 2nd year of college, maybe even my 3rd. It all hit at kind of a weird time because I was F'd up all the time and I didn't really notice or care about it. I was a terrible student so it wouldn't have mattered there and I was too busy raw dogging WV Mike's mom in my free time.

At the office in Horsham, we had a T-1 line, yes, 1.5MB of screaming internet, which compared to a 33.6K modem, was pretty fast. I used to drive home, download stuff to my Zip drive, then drive back to work, faster than they could download 1/4 of what I was getting.
