Marked beginning of baby boom (you can see deaths starting to take effect once people reach their 60s) , the lull during Gen X (4 recessions in 13 years - I was born at the end of that ), and the Millen nia l spike. Gen Z (my kids’ generation - yet to be named) is 25% of the population.

Almost all the Millenials I know could be considered the “whoops” kids of the younger Boomers. I wonder if they made it through all the Carter and Reagan years and were like “Hey, it’s been about 10 years, want to go upstairs? No need for protection, we’re in our 40s! ”

My parents are old (not Boomers), but I do have two younger siblings who are Millennials...

Being 40 now I’m right in one of the  dips. No wonder I have no cultural identity.

With the Boomers dealing with aging and retirement, and the Millennials dealing with the aftermath of the Great Recession, there’s not much discussion about what Gen X is up to. I’m okay with that. One of the words associated with our generation is “pragmatic” - I think that’s a pretty good fit.

My mom is similar, born 1944 (as her father shipped out to the Pacific) and constantly rolls her eyes at Boomer things as she’s not really of that culture.

My dad was born in ‘37. Youngest of 8. His dad died of a blood infection before he was born. His oldest brothers had to grow up very fast... They were poor, but never went hungry, and his mom was, by all accounts, an amazing, loving woman. He definitely has a “Depression-era” mentality that he passed on some to me. The Boomer generation isn’t really present in our family, as my oldest brother is an early X.
