OTTAWA – Statistics Canada says there are now more millennials than baby boomers in the country, ending the 65-year reign of the post-Second World War generation as the largest cohort in the pop...
I was born in 81, so which group I “belong” to seems to change depending on who I’m talking to.
An older person will usually say I’m a Millennial and accuse me of being a bleeding heart liberal who’s trying to bankrupt the country, but a younger person will often call me a “boomer” and accuse me of being a right wing conservative who is destroying everything America stands for and is worse than Hitler lol
Yeah I’m kind of the same lol! Although the Zoomers get really irate when I point out that they’ve over used “boomer” so much that it effectively has no meaning any more lol
This is me. I have younger siblings who are fully Millenial and one becomes actually offended if you say it. He hates millenials and was basically born a boomer. I have learned that age is biological but becoming old is psychological.

It’s exhausting quite frankly
hey that’s me! or am I you?
but yes, same. Old people at work shake their head at me. Young people at work shake their head at me.
That said - more and more I find myself relating to the younger ones, even the fresh Zoomers entering the workplace.

Well that became apparent when people started calling Biden a Boomer over student loans or whatever at the time. He’s older than Boomers.
Xennial: came of age in X but adulted as a millennial.
