No

He seems exceptionally open minded, actually

Yes. I’m not sure why the “boomer” generation extends as far as it does. I have literally ZERO in common with someone born in 1945-55. I mean, I have 5 sisters born in that timeframe and while technically we’re the same “generation”, we’re like oil and water.
Well that explains a lot. What kind of dresses did they make you wear? :rofl:

One thing I don’t get. Why are generations named every 16-19 years?
1946-1964
1965-1980
1981-1996
Etc

It doesn’t make sense to have a generation be only 16-19 years. If you had a generation every 16 years, you’d have parents at 16, grandparents at 32, great grandparents at 48, great great grandparents at 64, great great great grandparents at 80. Silly.

Familial generations average closer to 30 years, with most people having their kids between 18 and early 40s. So shouldn’t these named generations should be more like every 28-30 years, not every 16-19?

Beats me. Maybe JSO can pull a New Year’s Eve algorithm out of his ass for you.

Actually, in the mountains of Harrisonburg, VA, 16-19 years is pretty close to the mark.

Oh come on, Eileen. That's not their only fault. Pretty sure they really thought Mickey was so fine and actually tried to order a vegemite sandwich at the local deli.

Oh :bs: !

You’ll sing that song along with Mickey and the 3rd verse (same as the first) of Overkill every time they come in the store. You’ll even try and hit higher the octaves but realize you can’t really sing.

BTW, DMR had a 9 year run which included 6 top 20 hits in the UK charts and reformed in 2003.

(Yep...I’m gonna pretend like I knew all that)

Nope, that would be within what's considered the Appalachian region. Harrisonburg is around 30 miles outside of that.
