Comment on There is someone who's the first and oldest member of gen Z, and they have absolutely no clue that's the case.

I honestly don’t think that’s the case. Generational divides aren’t that strongly defined that they have a specific cutoff date and time. Some people who were born after said cutoff are better described by the previous generation, and vice-versa. For example, if you go strictly by date of birth, by most definitions of the term, my father is a (very late) boomer, but his life experience is much more similar to what defined Gen X’ers.

Plus all that stuff Einstein went on about, curved space time and stuff.

For cusp people, it has more to do with what generation YOUR parents identify with the strictly your own birth date.

  There’s certainly some interesting stuff to consider there. For instance, my wife and I are less than one year apart, but I have a brother seven years older than me, and she is the first born in her family. We’re both in between, kind of, but I have a lot more Gen X memories and experiences, while she has more Millennial ones.

  Funny, my father was born to what was considered pretty old parents, for the time. But grandma in particular really wasn’t very representative of the Silent Generation lol

My wife would technically be Gen X while I’m a Millennial. We’re 6 years apart but there’s still a lot of overlap in life experiences.
