Showing Original Post only (View all)What "Generation" are you in? [View all]
Different sources define the generations somewhat differently, so please respond based on the year spans defined below; but if you're on the cusp or identify with a different generation, please feel free to explain in a comment.
(Please excuse, I forgot to add "Greatest or Silver" to the first category, and please also excuse the typo in Millennial it seems I can't edit those.)

I'm generation "Fuck that noise". We're known for mocking authority and giggling. Lots of giggling.

I Rec'd this poll, because I feel like it' helps to understand the generational growth in membership.
