You can't go with the first result, normally you can't understand the accent.

I'm not participating in this generational labeling craziness. They change the labels every few years.

When I was in my teens and twenties (70's-80's), we were called Generation X. We even had a band, Billy Idol's first band was called "Generation X". Then a few years ago, through some unknown magic, I found that we are now labeled "Baby Boomers". I don't get it... :annoyed:

I got pushed into the baby boomer era somehow too. Unfortunately I didn’t get the pension that all the baby boomers got. Companies had convinced the unions to vote them out by then. There’s a small population of us that this happened to. We didn’t get a pension and were far along enough in life that we weren’t able to contribute enough to a 401k for it to be worthwhile. This leaves us working with no retirement in site. I imagine at some point we will get our own label if it ever gets brought to light.

By definition I am a millennial, but I identify as Generation X.
