I'm a boomer, no question. Shunsui, I thought you were younger than me, not older.

Just young at heart, or maybe just irrationally exuberant.

I think it's fun to look at but, I don't put any stock in any of it.
Generational bias/superiority has been goin on at least since Plato's time
All that being said, I'm Gen X, both my parents are Silent Genration - my Grandfather (paternal) was The Lost Generation the rest of my Grandparents were the Greatest Generation
Seems they always forget to add the Lost Generation

I also don't put much stock in it.
I don't think any generation has the monopoly on stupidity from what I have seen.

It certainly seems like trying to judge the average intelligence of any given generation has never made us much smarter.

Been quite the opposite in general IMHO.
Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?
There aren't really any clear demarcation lines between one generation from the next, anyway. Take "Boomers," for example. Early Boomers will generally have much in common with the late Silent Generation. And late Boomers will generally have more in common with early Gen Xers. I'm speaking in terms of the general societal trends they grew up experiencing.
Society changes as time goes on anyway, whether we create artificial labels to categorize people or not.
