> I am usually grouped in with the "Millenials" (Back in my day we were "Generation Y!"). But when I see what the stereotypical characteristics of a "Millenial" are, I don't see myself.

That's why I claim to be Generation Y specifically, and never "Millenial". And for anyone who says otherwise, I tell them to get off my lawn!

I've seen my classification go from Gen X to Gen Y and then to millenial over the years. I guess I should be happy to be considered one of the new kids, but I wish I would have grown up to be X like I was promised.

I usually say that I grew up back when calling someone a geek or a nerd was an insult.
