All that time spent watching movies is about to pay off.
Films have the ability to define various generations; they are very relatable and loved especially by the people of that era. Take The Wizard of Oz for example. For people from the silent era, they appreciate hard work and the resulting successful life as shown in the film. Baby boomers relate a lot to The Graduate, as children and parents search for the missing piece in the puzzle.
The attitude of Generation X was captured in the film, Risky Business. Many of these independent people related to the lack of parental guidance and the coming-of-age story. The millennials have varying experiences, but an essential film that represents the early ages is The Breakfast Club. It is the quintessential way to describe a high school experience.
Rate the following films based on how much you like them, and we will be able to guess accurately which generation you are from!

I got: Millennials!
You were born after 1980! You were shaped by technology throughout your growing years, no matter how basic or developed it was. Some of you were motivated by this to make great advances in the field!
I got: Baby Boomers!
You were born between 1946 and 1964! You were one of the babies born during the post-war spike, which means you have strong opinions about everything. But it doesn’t necessarily coincide with the thought of many others, because people born in this period tend to have differing idealistic opinions. Iโm gen alpha so this is 67 years off from when I was born!

I got: Generation X!
You were born between 1965 and 1980! You tried to make a change in your environment, but you’re too much of a cynic to make it happen. You’re independent and always try to better yourself, with self-help books being essential.
yeah no

Nope! gen z
Gen X? No, sorry, I’m a boomer, albeit one of the latter born ones. My little sisters are Gen Xers’ & the differences between us are profound, even though there aren’t many years between us. The differences in the generations are astounding though. I’m liberal to the core, having grown up during the era of womens’ lib, assassinations, civil rights, and protests throughout the nation. Let’s not forget Vietnam & Nixon, making me & many of my peers cynical of politics & government as a whole. My sisters were still pretty young while all this was going on. It was probably the best education one could get, just reading the newspaper & watching Walter Cronkite. They sure weren’t teaching anything like it in school!
very wrong got Millennials, one of my kids was born early 80’s other late 70’s me early 50’s don’t know ifthat makes me a baby boomer not into the slang for the different generations.

my guy..I’m gen z….1997-2012 somewhere falling to 2010-2012…..
The years might wrong on yours but the description is accurate
(I.e. having strong opinions on things, and not coinciding with others because you’re unique)
Fits you

I got Generation X (1965-1980).
Just barely. I was born in 1979, but it still counts as Gen X, doesn’t it?
Yes it counts.
Gen X had/has the best music era in the 90’s
