      I think they’re all at least fifty by now. I’m in the middle of the millennial years and I’m pushing 40.

        The cutoff between GenX and Millennial is usually given as 1980, which means there are some 46-year-old GenXers. Sometimes 1978-1982 is described as a “microgeneration” called “Xennials,” so if you’re making that distinction, you’d still have 49-year-old Xers from 1977.

            This just shows how dumb the idea of “generations” is. Someone who’s 51 will have a lot in common with someone who’s 49, even if they’re in a different “generation”. Someone who’s 30 won’t have much in common with either of them, even if they’re the same “generation”.
