Living Like It's 99: No Social Media, No Smartphone

I think it’s time to start targeting the younger generations with these sorts of comments.

The oldest millennials are in their 40s now. Gen X’ers are all gray haired and half are retired. Most boomers are dead.

Edit: wrong letter.

I think you might be mistaken about the time-frames of the different labels/generations.

The oldest GenZ'er would be ~24 years old.

I am a GenX'er and looking at the butt-crack of 50 (yes I have grey hair).

Most Boomers that I know are retired, but not dead yet. (74-57 years of age)

Oops I did get my letters mixed up. How embarrassing. Looks like my age is showing- I'm on the cusp of two, aka "Gen Xillennnial"
