I really cannot stand when people from the 60's claim to be Gen X. It's like no.you're.not.

Stop trying to be the depopulated, cool, lost generation.

Truth, OP.

I don't know about labels, but I never felt a part of either the Gen X slackers or the cut throat sellout Boomers.

'Voomers', as you call them, can remember the pre-digital/computing era quite vividly and many are nature/natural oriented people who live off the land alone.

We remember a world quite different than what we are presented as 'the truth' today ...

Re: If You Were Born in 1965
there is a cross over period

boomars are 46 - 64

the end of the boomars years and the start of X years cross over

there is no "instant change line"

it's a blur and blend for 3 - 5 years on each side of the "demographic" date line

there is no difference between the kids born in 64 and 65

yet they are labeled demographically as being from different gens.

Parents of children born from about 1962-63 to about 1968-69 grew up during the Great Depression.
This effected how we were raised, how we saved, how we valued a dollar ...

I believe this is why this niche 'voomer' generation is quite different than either Gen X or Boomers.

The early eighties was tough to get a job.
$3 an hour min wage ... sucked.

Super high inflation left over from the Carter years.
12-15% on a home loan / 9% Student Loan rates.

Was a LOT tougher (in some ways) than today.

Re: If You Were Born in 1965
Generation X (or Gen X for short) is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers and preceding the millennials. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1960s as starting birth years and the late 1970s to early 1980s as ending birth years, with the generation being generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980.[1] By this definition and U.S. Census data, there are 65.2 million Gen Xers[2] in the United States as of 2019.[3] Most members of Generation X are the children of the Silent Generation and early boomers;[4][5] Xers are also often the parents of millennials[4] and Generation Z.[6]

Less than 50
