Where does playing Oregon Trail put you on the boomer scale?

Im 25 and played Oregon Trail in Elementary, that shit spans generations.

 

[POGunter]

I like to think of us born between 81 and 87 as a lost generation. We remember when everyone didn't have a cellphone, but we still had personal computers with internet access for most of our formative years. I don't identify with millennial tropes and the Gen Xers won't have me.

Dang. That means they never taught you how to use a slide rule in science class?

Nothing is more Boomer than a Gen Xer sayin’ “Well, actually I was born in 1968 which makes Generation X”.

Well, actually I was born in '69.

I was born on 84. I like to think of myself as part of the Oregon Trail generation. Also according to Wikipedia it's also called Xennial and Generation Catalano. I don't like that last term though. I am not a Leto fan...

I hung out with this band when they came to Oklahoma City many years ago touring with Agnostic Front and Evergreen Terrace. They asked me if I could show them around downtown OKC and I took them to the OKC Bombing memorial. Also the singer from Evergreen Terrace ate a bunch of pasta from this old Italian restaurant down the street from the venue then they had to play a set earlier because Agnostic Front had to leave town early for something so the singer was trying to sing for a hardcore band and not barf on stage lol.

from what I've gathered...being born in the 1900's = old.

I mean the youngest person born in the 1900’s would be 112 at some point this year. That really is very old by anyone’s reckoning!

stereotypes are such time savers

Is Mad World actually on this? Asking for someone who also doesn't need this just for Mad World.

Edit:. Based on previous versions it looks like Mad World (2 versions) is the only non score song.

Also, my school was

"...a micro-generation that serves as a bridge between the disaffection of Gen X and the blithe optimism of Millennials."

The what?

that was for sure written by a Boomer.

That's a boomer take if I've ever heard one.

We weren’t allowed to us a scientific calculator in trig, but if we could learn how to use a slide rule, we could.

We should just start our own Oregon Trail generation designation.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

That's a boomer take if I've ever heard one.

Here’s a Gen X take… The Elliott Smith wannabe one hit wonder cover not as good as the New Wave original.

I will admit that this movie (which I used to love and now really dislike) did introduce me to a lot top notch 80s music; Tears For Fear, Echo &The Bunnymen, The Church.

Where does playing Oregon Trail put you on the boomer scale?

Oregon Trail is alive and well in Oregon, at least based on my kids’ experience in Portland Public Schools.

 

[Fillip J Phry]

As an 87er I can agree with this. We're techy, up-to-date on many things pop culture and memes, yet seem to be grounded enough to not really get involved in all the BS. At least I like to think so.

Also an 87er and I concur.
