Are You Part Of Generation No One Like Me?

Asked by delam (358points) March 24th, 2010

Hi, I am born right between gen x and gen y so I am part of no generation. Like the very tail end of x and the very beginning of y. It’s beginning to shred my heart. What shall I do?

Sandwiched between brat pack and facebook. :-)

How can you be between generations?
Where does one generation end and does the next one begin? There are people of all ages alive all the time.

Cultural generations overlap there is no “in between” but that doesn’t mean your views, lifestyle, and mentality fall neatly into any of them. Being “part of a generation” really doesn’t mean much outside of social and historical research/context.

You’re unique and special, just like everyone else.
