Ugh the generations... I don't even know which is my own. Every time the topic crops up people give me a different timeframe for each gen.

Anyways, interesting to see the zoomer holding a mate and termo. I wonder what the original cartoon was about

There's no official time frame, so you'll get different answers. Also, generations are somewhat arbitrary delineations that are defined by things other than age, particularly major events and themes that occurred in early life.

For example, it seems that "millennial" is congealing around 1981-1996, at least according to Wikipedia, but there's still variance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenial#Date_and_age_range_definitions
