We're "too old" to identify with any of the crap stupid Millennial teenybopper hipsters experienced growing up, and "too young" to have experienced any of the things Gen Xers remember growing up.
I found the most interesting trivia is my little "micro generation" is apparently the only people who can remember BOTH having to use the old Dewey decimal card catalog system, and using modern web browsers, to research material for school classes at the library. Gen Xers exclusively used the former when they were growing up, Millennials have exclusively used the latter. The switchover occured in the early 90s.
The next "generational limbo" is those born about 1965ish, making them "too old" to be Gen Xers and "too young" to be baby boomers. People in that age range include Brett Kavanaugh, Robert Downey Jr., J.K. Rowling, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Charlie Sheen, Brooke Shields, Sarah Jessica Parker, Scottie Pippen,Piers Morgan, and Rob Zombie.
I wonder if they a feel a similar awkwardness whenever the media discusses some topic where there's a noticeable and polarizing "generation gap".
Clinton, GWB, Trump, all born post-WWII in 1946, were all at the start of the baby boom, and their life experiences reflected that demographic. (Monica Lewinski, b. 1972... very typical Gen X "young adult" during the Clinton presidency. hee hee hee)
JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan AND GWHB, all "Greatest Generation" and all in the military during WWII (Carter came close to missing it though, and I think graduated from the Naval academy AFTER the war was over?)
Obama, technically a very young baby boomer (b. 1961, JFK would be shot when Obama was a toddler), but meh, he was raised in Indonesian anyway and probably FAR removed from any cultural influences of that era. Had kooky "flower child" mom, though.
Sarah Palin, b. 1964, is a textbook example of a Generation Jones "cusper" between Baby boomer and Gen X. Too old to be a Gen-Xer, too young to be a baby boomer (and indeed I think the media convinced gullible baby boomers she wasn't ready for prime time)
Kamala Harris, also b. 1964. Attacked Joe Biden in the RAT primary for NOT supporting the FAILED, DISCREDITED 1970s era antiquated policy to bus kids to schools nowhere near their neighborhood to achieve "racial harmony". "That little girl was me!". Ummm, okay, Kamala, and let's bash Republicans in the primary for NOT supporting the failed Smoot-Hawley tariff. Makes as much sense!
