And I like the way Howe and Strauss divided the 'X' generation into 'Atari' and 'Nintendo' X-ers. I turn 40 next month, and certainly have very little in common with early boomers; however, the same could be said of my my tatooed and pierced brethren in the Nintendo wave of the 13th gen.

I am a Baby Boomer and I don't have a damn thing in common with the liberal hippies of this day and age.

I'm sick and tired of reading all these threads about how bad we've trashed this country.

er....I meant of that day and age.

Most of us were NOT John Kerry and his ilk.

My brother and I were talking about this last night (after his 39th Birthday). I don't get the whole tattoo and tacklebox crowd, but I guess Boomers don't get us either.

Its interesting how history shapes different generations or even parts of generations.

I can accept that explaination, I would be a member of the "Atari X'ers." I just turned 38 last week on the 8th so yeah, I do see that division there. For the most part, i feel I have very little in common with the later X'ers too.
