I read an article that basically said we give up on trying to categorize you guys (97), you’re just “transitionals”. Not millennial or gen z. And honestly I get that. I only remember 9/11 because of my mother’s reaction. I grew up in a weird phase for tech. And I don’t feel like I belong to either group.
“Weird phase for tech” is a nice euphemism for “knows what casettes are, but didn’t have to put them into computers anymore.”
I agree though that it is crazy. I remember it being a big thing for teenagers being 14,15 when i was 7 or 8 to get their own mobile phone. The kids born in 2001 onwards often had their first smartphone at 8 or 9

So I think they cracked the code!

Putting cassettes in computer is OLD. Like… Gen X old.
I was born in 81 and my first computer used a cassette tape. I’m not sure what it was so I’ve never tried looking up how old it was I guess.
I was born in 1980. I refuse to be in any generation, I just was born in 1980.
