If you’re near the cusp, pick whichever makes you feel better. Generations are a sociological construct and are appropriately applied in the aggregate, not to individuals and they’re always fuzzy around the edges. Much like Hari Seldon can’t predict specific individual events, sociological generations don’t always apply exactly the same to individual people.
If you’re born anywhere between around 1978 and 1984, you will likely find at least one sociologist who draws the line on either side of you.
I tend to go with Strauss-Howe, who consider GenX to be 1961-1981 and Millennials to be 1982-2005 – mostly because I like their idea of turnings and cyclical archetypes.
Theres 5 strings between the guitar and bass and it’s still a masterpiece. So much sound for such a minimalist approach to their instruments. Kitty is a supreme banger.
Just as I’m thinking about repairing it some little friends come along with some 2 string, 1 string, no string guitars and they plug em all in to the back porch
I thought we were Gen x or y?
Anyway, this entire album is fucking banger.
This is according to the US Census
Gen X: (born 1965-1980)
Gen Y is the same as Millennial: (born 1981-1996)
And the album was released in 1995, so lots of gen x would be in their late teens early twenties when it was released, prime audience for it.
Woah. I always thought I was Gen X but TIL I’m probably a millennial.

Severely underrated album. Holds up better than almost any from that year

Little blue dune buggy.
That’s all I have to say.
Back Porch is a favorite of mine
I’ve been selected to orbit the planet in a rocket.
(In a rocket)
they’re fucking ace in concert too. I had zero expectations for the evening and they tore the face off of it, like, goddamned fun show.
