I was born in 1948,and in my very young years grew up - as I can see now - under the long shadow cast by the greatest conflict in human history.Parents of those of my age-group had been children during the Depression and young adults during World War 2,so the potential for a "generation gap" of sorts with those who grew up in the more affluent '50s and '60s,was always going to be there.

@TheThinker My husband was born in 1962, technically a boomer, but he was more like the generation X crowd.
TheThinker · 61-69, M
@Justmeraeagain Yeah, there's definitely a blurred line there where the generations cross over.
I'd say maybe it was to do with the age of the parents, except that mine were born in the early 1920s...

I may have been born a Generation Y child, (1986) But I'm self-identifying as a Generation X child.
Astrologically, I'm a Virgo (Western Zodiac) and a Tiger. (Chinese Zodiac)
According to the Japanese calendar, my full birthdate is the 27th day of the 8th month of the 61st year of the Shōwa period.

@Boeing The Japanese Impereal calendar is based on the year of the reigning Emperor.
And the years 1926 to 1989 were known as the Shōwa Period. (Emperor Hirohito's reign)
Hirohito's death on January 7th, 1989 marked the end of the Shōwa Period.
When Hirohito's son, Akihito succeeded his late Father as Emperor that became the beginning of the Heisei Period (1989-2019)
Right now, the year is Reiwa 8. (the 8th year of Emperor Naruhito's reign, following Emperor Akihito's abdication)

I think "me" is a boring subject, frankly.
I have never seen such a me generation as we have now and it might be traced back to some elements of Gen X, I do not know.

@Justmeraeagain The "Me Generation" is another name for "Generation X."
It goes like this...
-The "Silent Generation." (1928-1945)
-The Baby Boomers. (1946-1964)
-The "Me Generation." (A.K.A. Generation X) (1965-1980)
-Generation Y. (1981-1996)
-Generation Z. (1997-2012)
-Generation Alpha. (2013-Present)

@Justmeraeagain My dad said one year during the depression times were so bad his parents hired a grown man to work on the farm for room and board. No pay.
