[VANITY FOLLOW-UP:] Generational Breakdown of Freepers
4/27/2019 | Maceman

Posted on 04/27/2019 1:30:44 PM PDT by Maceman

On 4/19/2019 I posted a thread asking Freepers which generation they belonged to. The thread was an attempt to satisfy my curiosity regarding the generational breakdown of FR because I have gotten the sense that most of us are rather long in the tooth.

Naturally, as a 20-year member of this esteemed site, my hope is that it will ultimately start attracting younger members in order to continue the critical job of spreading the conservative perspective to new generations.

I received 389 responses to my original post, of which 219 actually provided information regarding respondents' birth year or generation.

Here are the results:

Very interesting. Thank you.
Count me in the 1946-1964 group.

Thanks!

Many of us are Baby Boomers, most retired so we have more time to FReep.

Pre-boomer here. To a youngster looking at comments on the site, we probably come off as a bunch of cranky old couch potatoes.

Generational, but maybe off-topic; if the last 2 are X, Y, and Z, what does the next generation after that get called?

Only 10% Pre Boomer? Somehow I would've thought more than that.
I'm Pre Boomer myself. Tail end of depression generation

Actually, they are not. The generation before the boomers is “The Silent” generation. The only Generation that did not come up with a President.
