      The graduating class of 2000 were the original millennials before it was used as a general term for an entire generation.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

      They coined the term in 1987, around the time children born in 1982 were entering kindergarten, and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the impending new millennium as the high school graduating class of 2000.[29]

      The Oregon Trail generation!

      Missed out on that one by a couple years unfortunately, though I feel more of a connection to those who had a pre-digital childhood like myself than I do to the iPad babies of today.

      Sure whatever millennials are consider starting in 1981. So oldest is 45. But whatever they are all made up and mean nothing. Cause now they are starting micro generations.

        There are now several studies showing that generations rarely end precisely at one point and begin anew at another. In the case of Xennials, they do not identify with either the later Millennials or Generation X.

          No really a made up thing isn’t precise. There is no Xennials or that is the micro generations some are pushing. And come on the wealth of your family, where you are raised how you are raised are going to be bigger factors in how you grow up then your generation.

        And the need for “progressives” for the nerds who already had their distance vision murdered by genetics and books.

        For the Z’ers, “books” are stacks of paper, typically glued together on one side, with a single audiobook or podcast transcribed onto them and displayed in a fixed font.

          That’s a good idea too. I threw my back out once with the first one from rocking because I didn’t realize I was sort of compressing my spine to give my arms a break. It’s one of those things that doesn’t matter if you do it once, but over and over again, it sneaks up on you.

      My parents started referring to me as “middle-aged” when I was like 35 specifically because they knew it would drive me nuts. And with the current trajectory of American life expectancy, the math might actually bear them out.

    Forty was fine. I didn’t feel old at all and was in a decent place mentally. I’m now 49, and I have a feeling 50 is going to be somewhat jarring. It just feels undeniably mature.
