    People often talk about generations as if people can only be born every 10 years or so. They refer to " my generation". Who do you include when you refer to " my generation". Is it anyone born within two years of you for example?

    Think about it like this... You are better at living than Jesus was. That's a win right there.

    I don't know who decided when the Generations started or ended, but Wikipedia has articles on all of them:

    I'm Generation X, apparently. I've read the book by Douglas Coupland, and thought some of it applied to me, but most of it didn't. It's a long way from an exact science.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

    If you were between 10 and 17 when Father Ted was broadcast the first time around, then you're in my generation.

    My generation is those people who realise just how crap 90% of modern 'music' is.

    My generation remembers remembers what a real recession is like...not having enough money to buy food, clothes etc. Now it's all about choosing a cheaper holiday destination, a cheaper smartphone, the cheaper Sky TV package etc.

    I'm not sure, but I fall into the category of Generation X. Anyone who grew up and remembers the same cartoons as me, I consider my peers. Yes, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors... I'm talking about you!
