    Default How Millennial are you?

    So I just took a 'Which Generation are You?' quiz on the Guardian, because why not, and...


    I'm not Generation Y, no, apparently I have more in common with someone born in the 60's - 80's. Cue Mr. Carny to in and laugh.

    Regardless of when you actually were born, do you associate more with an older or younger generation, do you even care for generations?

    I mean, I may rue my quiz placement, but it does make some sense. Going out partying holds little interest to me, I'd rather play board games or go to the pub with friends for a quiet get-together. I hardly ever use my mobile, and besides Facebook, I'm not terribly big on social media either.

    uggggghhhhh

    I'm not a fan of these tests and I think people are way too obsessed with labels nowadays Just because you don't share some stereotypical traits with a generation it doesn't mean you don't share their pop culture or socio-economic climate, which is what really defines a generation in my eyes.

    Oh, it was just a bit of fun my end. There's a recurring gag among me and Mr. Carny that I'm just an old man (he even mocked me for wearing a sweater vest!), and I thought this might pickle him.

    Honestly, even in the quiz itself there was an option for 'I don't really believe in generations', which I took wholeheartedly.

    Go into an office and work out the average age of men wearing sweater vests. Guarantee it'll be well under 30.

    Yep. I loved the one that asked you about how you met your partner and not one was even close.

    That test is horrible and generalizes the generations even more. Must have been written by someone who isn't actually part of it or is trying too hard to sound like they understand it xD

    I'm not sure it's supposed to be taken seriously I got a chuckle when they managed to get the word 'Thatcher' in there twice, though. Classic Guardian.

    Yeah, it's just a quiz that popped up during the day that got me thinking about generations. It's taken to be tongue-in-cheek.
