Any under 50s here? | TheaterFire

48 here and getting depressed reading all the genx posts lately from the elder Xers who have no zest for life. Been spending more time in the xennial sub.

Responsible_Trash_40@reddit

Same, and they don’t delete 75% of the posts I comment on.

[-]

Mugwumps_has_spoken@reddit

For a few more months yet anyhow. lol

[-]

Pretend_Passenger586@reddit

I won’t be 50 until December. So yup I’m still solidly in my 40’s for 8 more months.

[-]

aWesterner014@reddit

Just barely. Turn 49 later this year.

[-]

MNPS1603@reddit

Well I’m 49 until August so I guess that counts

[-]

Awkward-Initiative28@reddit

I refer to myself as an elderly millennial to make myself younger.

[-]

Primary_Bid_8980@reddit

NO!!! Please don't put all of us in that box! I am Gen X 💯

[-]

OverMlMs@reddit

I’m 48, turned 48 in January. I keep forgetting what age I am, lol

[-]

xxMalVeauXxx@reddit

Yes, I could fall into X or Xen either way, I more identify towards X with raised by boomer tendencies and culture.

[-]

EastNashTodd@reddit

I’ll be 49 next month. Still got a bit to go!

[-]

yearsofpractice@reddit

I was until last Tuesday. So, no I guess.

[-]

Awkward-Initiative28@reddit

Me. I'm an Xennial but I relate to Gen X pop culture.

[-]

49 soon. Too soon. I don't feel it mentally. High school graduation feels like yesterday. Until, of course, tomorrow I climb out of bed and my joints are locked. Then I spend the day held together by ibuprofen and caffeine.

[-]

Primary_Bid_8980@reddit

44 this year. My sibling is 7 years older & my parents were born in 1946, my upbringing definitely read more Gen X than millennial.

iloveScotch21@reddit

You are technically a Millennial or Xennial. I’m 48 will be 49 in December. I’m last year GenX or Xennial

[-]

Lashon_Von_Ricks@reddit

You think the cut-off year for Gen X is 1977?

[-]

iloveScotch21@reddit

No the start of Xennial is 1977.

[-]

Roxygirl40@reddit

That’s a microgen.

[-]

Roxygirl40@reddit

This is the fight that never ends. Cut off is 1980 (and occasionally 1981 if being generous). So 46 this year is the youngest.

[-]

iloveScotch21@reddit

OP is 45 I’m right 1981 born, they are a Millennial. Downvote me all you want. Sources

[-]

Roxygirl40@reddit

Compliance. Turning 46 in July in 2026 means they were born in 1980, which is the cut off for Gen X. Clearly you are a millennial since you can’t do math.

[-]

Away-Equipment4869@reddit (OP)

I hate how everyone says something different about the start and cut off of gen x lol

[-]

MediumAd3331@reddit

80’s child of divorce. I got my father in my house. Half blind and homebound, my mother 600 miles away with a broken femur for the past month, still in rehab, and uncle Joe in rehab the past 3 years. One more and i can have the whole opening scene to Charlie and the Chocolate factory in my living room soon. I’m still fit enough to do century bike rides every summer. But now I can feel my pulse in my legs. So there’s that

[-]

mettaCA@reddit

Make sure your mom gets the physical therapy she needs. The death rate within the first 12 months after a break for an elderly person is around 50%. I have a 92 year old neighbor that broke hers over 2 years ago and she is doing okay.

stormstormsmilez@reddit

Yep... Before they switched up the generation lists I was considered Gen x but now I'm the first year in of millennial... 44 and in 6 weeks 45

[-]

MossCoveredMetal@reddit

I too am born in '81. I don't feel anything in common with millennials, and feel way more at home among Gen X.

[-]

stormstormsmilez@reddit

I actually feel connected with both weirdly... I grew up the typical latch key kid style... I walked to and from school since the second week of kindergarten w then the next year I was responsible for getting my sister to and from school when she started kindergarten... But I absolutely grew up on computers too starting with computer lab once a week for basic stuff and computer games, then the first few iterations of the Internet all the way till now...

[-]

mstermind@reddit

Yes, I'm still under 50 for a few more years. My mum is still alive and asked me the other day what I wanted to do for my 50th birthday. It's a bit surreal to think about that.

Why was this downvoted? WTF.

[-]

Rowan_Productions@reddit

48…. I don’t buy into the hard defined generational years. A lot depends on where you grew up imo. I was a mid-west kid so it was still like the 70s while growing up in the 80s in a lot of way. There’s some overlap for sure.

My youngest sister is 49–7.5 years younger —and we weren’t that close growing up. She was still in elementary school when I was in high school. I never thought of her as Gen X. But now I do, we have more in common than different. She married a xennial 5 year younger than her, which was weird at first, but I like EDM music too, so we have things to talk about 😂

Still get eyed for ID, drop the born in 70’s, prob not what you think.
