There is the same argument on the other side as well where late boomers claim to be “Generation Jones” between boomers and X.
Yeah, they’re all pretty close to the border no matter what. I was honestly just throwing that in because I was saying that they seemed like they were different generations personality-wise (my aunt also married at 20 a man a decade older than she was, so that plays a role) and I figured someone was going to reply that they technically were from different generations.
Im an Xer but my parents were born in the 1920s. My parents were the same ages as my friends grandparents. I grew up listening to swing music at home. Lol.
