OP Rockhopper Lad Fabulous and Sparkly! Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,670 The Pyngwyn Colonies It's interesting that both the '50s and the '80s have become considered idealized times for being a teenager in the United States, but the generations to which such people belong, the Silents and GenX, respectively, are both overshadowed by the surrounding generations in popular culture.

In the HR and people management realms, people make a big to-do about generational differences all the time. Clients often ask me for my perspective as a Gen Y/millennial. Frankly though, if you distill our desires down to te basic level they are the same as any other - economic security and fulfillment. The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion!

OP Rockhopper Lad Fabulous and Sparkly! Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,670 The Pyngwyn Colonies That's pretty much what it comes down to for everyone. I don't think these "generational" constructs are quite as useful as many people would think. The definitions seem to vary according to what is best for the author's needs.

I represent the Codgers Generation. You can be of any age you like to be part of this generation. It isn't ageist like the others. All you need to do is be able to convincingly say "I remember when I were a lad/lass..." and ramble on about something you feel just isn't the same as it used to be.
