This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Just checked, wow he’s technically a Boomer! Born in 1964, so just made it.

The identifier should be started at the age you entered society, and not the age you came out of your mother’s womb.

You can infer the age you entered society from the age you left the womb.

That doesn't work. Technically I'm a Boomer, but I act and think completely like a Gen-Xer.

In fact growing up I used to give Boomers crap myself, until I got more wise. They acted completely different from me, based on the times they grew up in.

I didn’t come up with the age range, but it’s been well established for a while now. Someone else told me about “Generation Jones”, which is basically just the younger half of the Boomer generation I guess. I feel like that’s splitting hairs, but who knows, maybe it makes some sort of sense to you?
