I have a far stronger motivation: I desperately want to know whether I’m one of them.
Experts who study generations and the reporters who talk to them don’t quite know how to handle those of us born in the early 80s, “cuspers” wedged between millennials and Generation X. Depending on whom you ask, the generation started in 1980, ‘81 or ‘82 and ends somewhere in the late 1990s...
Yeah, join the club. 1961-1964 cohorts have the exact same problem. We can pick:
1. Boom
2. Jones
3. X
Never mind we're all in our 50s now, but there is still no consensus.
If the early 80's cohorts follow the same path as we early 1960's cohorts, y'all will still be wondering well into middle age.
