minus-squareAgent_Karyo@piefed.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down4·edit-21 day agoI am not going to get into the discussion around the “boomer shooter” name, but surely HL1 would be considered part of the Gen X experience. The youngest millennials were in their early teens in 1998. The last members of Gen X were finishing up secondary school in 1998. I say this as a relatively early to mid generation millennial born in the late 80s. The whole generational cohort approach can be very limiting. IMO late cohort Gen X and early-mid cohort Millenials have a lot in common.
