    How many boomers and gen x guys started facebook? That's what I thought.

    Except the Winklevoss twins were born in 1981 which is largely considered as part of GenX

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X

    There's some disagreement, but many place the divide at Dec 31, 1980. The Winklevii are in the gray area.

    Per your link:
    Many researchers and demographers continue to use dates which correspond to the strict fertility patterns in the population, which results in a Generation X starting date of 1965, such as Pew Research Center which uses a range of 1965–1980,[13] MetLife which uses 1965–1976,[3] Australia’s McCrindle Research Center which uses 1965–1979,[14] and Gallup which also uses 1965–1979.[15]

    Author Jeff Gordinier, in his 2008 book X Saves the World, defines Generation X as those born roughly between 1961–1977 but possibly as late as 1980.[20] Canadian author and professor David Foot divides the post-boomer generation into two groups: Generation X, born between 1960 and 1966; and the "Bust Generation", born between 1967 and 1979, In his book Boom Bust & Echo: How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Shift.
    Seems that the majority would place the tWinklevosses' as Millenials.

    Some would place me as a Boomer too but fuck those guys.

    Unless it can be proven the Winklevi' played in an AAU travel team, I can't endorse them as Millenials at all.

    I like the CSA because they had a dope flag and stood up and died for what they believe in, which is more than any of you can say. I don't even think slavery is that bad as long as it's not just blacks being slaves.

    Gonna disagree with race saying millennials aren't #1 all time. We started facebook and dub step. That's way better than winning a war (or losing as in the boomers' case) and smart of us not to die in combat. We are advanced.

    Yes, dope flag. And they were some tuff motherfuckers fighting for what they believed in. But their cause was not just; state's right my ass. Most poor white guys that fought for the CSA didn't own slaves but they sure as hell dreamed of owning them one day and were fighting to preserve that system.

    I'm a CSA sympathizer for the fact my family is from Hawaii, the most Southern state.

    Fixed this for you. The South - albeit led by a Yankee from Queens - did rise again and conquer the North.
    Mexico is not the South.

    There's no fucking way anyone born in 1980 counts as a millennial. I was born in 84 and I'm barely on the edge of being millennial. It is a complete and total misunderstanding of what defines the generation. The cut off is 9/11. If you weren't in high school or younger when 9/11 happened you don't get to be a millennial. Winkelvoss twins, fuck outta here.

    YUP.

    Millenials didn't have Nokia bricks or VHS tapes. Shit, most of them don't even know what CDs are.

    And they sure as shit never had to rough it on 56k modem dial up internet.
    That's fucking untrue.

    I had all those things. Napster was 6th grade or so. And it was still dial up. And I'm 88.

    I got a Nokia brick in 7th grade.


    I think people without those things are really late millennials and beginning of new generation.

    Millennials out of college now.

    No shit. Having to watch the full size porn pic download 10% at a time was bullshit. The interlaced pics that came in blurry and got more clear as it was downloaded was a technological breakthrough.

    Whatever man. I don't subscribe to this notion of generations anyways. Only serves to divide us from our fellow humans.

    Except Boomers. They should all die ASAP.
