    Not downvoting you, I just don't really believe in artificial generational divides. Sure, there are tendencies among age groups, but ime it would be far more accurate to group people in 5 year intervals (people would usually pick their friends within a ±5 year margin) than arbitrary cut offs. I'm a "zillennial". I don't have very much in common with elder millennials, but I can relate to my friends in their early twenties easily.

    I don't really want to pass the buck of activism to the next generation if I can also be out on the street raising hell for the rest of my life. I'll be out there when I'm 80 if I'm not dead by then. There are radical Gen X-ers. There are radical Boomers. Conversely, there are Zoomers like Kyle Rittenhouse.

    Radicals need to stick together no matter how old they are. Generational infighting is not gonna help us get here.

        It's something like 93-95 right up until Gen z starts depending on who you ask.

          im 97 so i feel neatly inbetween. I agree tho that i get along better with older zoomers and younger millenials more than younger zoomers and older millenials. found it interesting to see where people draw the edge
