I’m vaguely interested in the generational-label thing. I call people in my narrow range (I was born in '79, and this seems to apply to anyone born between around '77 and '82 or so) “Li’l Xies” - think “Little Archies”, the “kid sisters/brothers” of the Generation Xers. We don’t consider ourselves Millennials, though others do, because we remember very well a time before the internet and all that. We were the last to write out our homework longhand, etc. When “Reality Bites” came out, it seemed way more profound and important to us than it did to the actual generation it was lampooning portraying.
Slate tried to dub us “Generation Catalano”, but I never watched that show, and when it was on, the only people I knew who DID watch it were Baby Boomers.
