My cousins/bothers/sisters are in my generation.

Can't really refer to an age, as it even amongst the above they range from late teens to early 40s, and even have a few from the family generation above and below mine, that also fall into the same age range.

The one thats the same age as me, or my siblings, as opposed to my parents aunts and uncles the next generation up. My grandparents would be another generation above again, my children below.
It gets more confusing though for my kids, my eldest is 18, my youngest is 8 weeks. Are they the same generation cos they're siblings?

The group who managed to get through their 20s just before era of the camera phone, the selfie, social media, and other attention-seeking dumbed-down nonsense.

The group who ventured onto the Internet with a reminder not to take it too seriously and be able to laugh off/ignore the inevitable nonsense you'd encounter

The group who would never have dreamed of sending pictures of where they were every few minutes, what they were eating, or what concert they were at

Y'know.. that lot!

Anybody that displays a similar smorgasbord of middle-age spread, nostalgia and curmudgeonly cynicism recieves immediate empathy.

When each generation of phone was getting smaller rather than bigger.

Ah you eventually tire of the empty, soulless sex.

Like you enjoy the take away but you feel ugh about yourself afterwards for indulging? Yeah, like that.

Same.

But I find 25 year olds to be impossibly young and naïve and think 35 year olds are boring and ancient.

The generation that doesn't put so much effort into trying to appear effortless, well most of them.

I'm 29. I feel I'm of a slightly different mindset to the selfie generation, though people in that generation are my age and some are older so I dunno really.

My generation will probably be the last that remembers what life before the internet was like.

Ah there's still a lot of fun youthful 35 year olds and boring 25 year olds! Most of my friends turned into boring aul farts when they reached their mid-twenties, whereas my boyfriend and his friends are near in their mid-thirties and have a great lust for life.
