Relax, I was just yanking your chain - LOL. I'm a babyboomer and we get slammed all the time for ruining 'everything'. I was just returning the favor, so to speak. As with my own generation, I believe there are good and bad no matter when you were born ... generalizing anything never works. There is no typical this or that based on when we were born, IMHO. We're all just folks with different life experiences. Who am I to say that one is better than another.

Babyboomers: The second most despised generation lol.

Yeah, it's frustrating. If I could do away with one thing in the world, it would be vast generalizations.

The only tangible thing that connects a generation is the economy and historical events. I personally lean towards the agreement that the millennial cut off is about 95-96. Basically those who can remember life before 9/11 and pre mainstream internet/social media. I have no idea when it starts though. Generations are hard to define and all too often way too general.

I watched 9/11 happen in a cafeteria of my high school on the one single 20 inch CRT our school had on wheels. I actually used one of those AOL CDs to get access to my first internets. I am technically a millennial, but I really have nothing in common with the whole aioli crowd.
