Sorry bud but you're millennial. 1981-1997 is millennial.

Hate to break it to you but "nintendo generation" is millennial. Early 80s to mid 90s is all that gen.

I don't think of 60 as "elderly", I'd consider the standard retirement age to be verging on elderly.

Hey! I was born in 1965 and I will not be elderly in 2025. I'm looking to retire in 2035 at the earliest. Young whipper-snapper trying to tell me when I'm elderly. No fucking Werther's hard candy for you!

Please give us til 65 until we are considered elderly. Life is brutal enough!

Every government site I'm looking at defines elderly as 65
Edit: medical journals too

You turn into an elderly person when you’re 60 years old. Thus, 2025.
Mike__Z t1_j8wqas5 wrote
Isn't gen x 1965-1980? So the oldest would be turning 65 in 2030 not 2025.

Well, the one that has flying reindeer pulling his sleigh not only lacks concrete evidence/logic of existing but also has history showing that he was deliberately made up.
However, Saint Nicholas who he was partially based on was a real person as far as anyone can tell.
The thing about a lot of deities is that the attributes to them can be as vague or inscrutable as one likes to avoid having to give proof of their existence. Like when people say, "God works in mysterious ways," to get away with saying God is all-good even in the face of tragedy.

This was my point. A place becoming dark happens at the same rate as becoming light. It’s like a cup being simultaneously half full and half empty in that it’s 2 sides of the same coin.

Mmm I depends. I'm the last of the GenX (1980) My siblings are 1977 (GenX) and 1982 (Millennial) respectively and we all played Nintendo pretty hard. It came out in the US in 85, which would be peek teen years for many GenX, in 85 only 4 years of Millennials had been born and would've been toddlers at best playing NES. SNES was 1990 when many Millennials would be playing it.
