I am anything but a child of the internet. I didn't even get on a computer until I was well into my teens.

I am however, a child of Saturday Night Live!

So you'd know all about Samurai Delicatessen and the Bassmaster?

 

[Marcena]

I probably do.

 

[tieran]

Probably?

There's a non-answer...

 

[Marcena]

So?! I can't give a definitive! I just CAN'T! :cry:

 

[tieran]

Why's that?

Gen X'ers are supposed to be the emo and wishy washy ones...

 

[Tzydl Zhitelava]

Generation X'ers are born between 1958-63 and 1975-81.

AKA The 13th Generation:
13th generation
In the 1991 book Generations, William Strauss and Neil Howe called this generation the "13th Generation" because it's the 13th to know the flag of the United States (counting back to the peers of Benjamin Franklin). Strauss and Howe defined the birth years of the 13th Generation as 1965 to 1982 based on examining peaks and troughs in cultural trends rather than simply looking at birth rates.[6] Howe and Strauss speak of influences that they believe have shaped Generation 13. These influences are as follows:

Disaffectation with governance, a lack of trust in leadership, particularly institutional leadership
Rampant political apathy
Increase in divorce (institution of marriage)
Increase in mothers in the workplace
The zero population growth movement
Availability of birth control pills ("Children were things you took pills not to have")
"Devil-child films"
Increase in educational variance
Decrease in educational funding and loan availability (simultaneous with increase in advertising for military service)
Inception of the Internet
The end of the Cold War


Generation Y'ers are born 1981-2001.

and 1963 - 1975???

 

[Wilde_Night]

Strauss and Howe defined the birth years of the 13th Generation as 1965 to 1982...

Wikidpedia has issues with consistancy sometimes. So 1982+ is Gen Y. Gen Z is when the Gen Y's start having kids.

At least it's better than Generation Y. It's like the Lady of the Pond of Standing Water bestowing Y-caliber upon King Arnold.

 

[Tzydl Zhitelava]

:lol: yay for mutants...

 

[Marcena]

No, no. All wrong. We're generation Rx!

 

[Wilde_Night]

Just call yourselves the 14th Generation. Sounds kind of sinister.

 

[Marcena]

Naw. It's not as sinister as the 13th.

 

[Neshir]

WHat have I missed???? :shock:

 

[Marcena]

What generation are we?

 

[Ren Suzume]

What generation are we?

We're the Generation without a cool name that doesn't read enough Terry Pratchett novels.

 

[Marcena]

I still like generation Rx. Pills are beginning to successfully replace parenting.
