London Anarchist Bookfair 2023/24

[Dystopiary]

I’m not sneering. I’m pointing out that some/most of them see Urban75 as beyond the pale but instead use corporate shit. What’s wrong with that observation?

The age bit.

The turn of the millennium was 23 years ago. How are they forty?

Millenials were born between '81 and mid nineties. IDK why they're called Millenials tbh. After that is Gen Z.

 

[danny la rouge]

Anyone else?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Millennials came of age around 2000. People born around then are Zoomers.

So how does that pan out with ‘boomers’ who were born during or just after the war?

 

[Dystopiary]

Millennials came of age around 2000. People born around then are Zoomers.

Millennials are the generation who came of age (ie became adults) at the Millenium. So 18 + 23.

Millennials are those born in the 80s/early 90s.

Millenials were born between '81 and mid nineties. IDK why they're called Millenials tbh. After that is Gen Z.

MILLENIALS ARE MIDDLE AGED WTF

 

[Serge Forward]

You gotta be quick on the draw here

They’re our parents, if you, like me, are Gen X.

 

[LDC]

I wouldn't have trusted or listened that much to my politics when I was under 30 if that's any help.

MILLENIALS ARE MIDDLE AGED WTF

Must you type in all caps like a millennial?

 

[Rob Ray]

Boomers are frequently mixed up with Gen X.

Boomers: 1946-64
Gen X: 64-80
Millennial: 81-94
Zoomer: 95-09
Alpha: 10-24
Beta: 25 ...

 

[chilango]

I can sense the moment for Big Lebowski quotes is almost upon us.

I talked the same shite as now... and I'm in my 60s, ie boomer.

 

[Serge Forward]

Do what your parents did. Get a job. The bums lost!

 

[LDC]

Gen Xcellent here.

 

[Rob Ray]

Gen X get away with a lot just by shutting the fuck up about it.

 

[A Bristle Aphid]

Whoa, what's this? I was just going to get me tea.

here is the thread on the hell site

Boomers: 1946-64
Gen X: 64-80
Millennial: 81-94

It’s all fucking toxic bollocks of course, and I’m not sure why we buy into it.

But of course people born between 64 and 80 are just better people. Unless you broke your wrist with proper clackers, you’re a snowflake.

 

[muscovyduck]

Sad I'm not going to be able to make it. What anarchist books are you all excited for tomorrow?

 

[Serge Forward]

Gen Xcellent here.

Generation X?

 

[danny la rouge]

Speak to DaN and ask what the capital N is about!

 

[danny la rouge]

Generation X?

Boomers all.

In other news, turns out that the Atlanta radical bookfair is this weekend:

ATLANTA RADICAL BOOK FAIR

BOOKS, HISTORY, ART & REVOLUTION

atlantaradicalbookfair.com

I wasn't sure where people would straighten out their post-bookfair beef if they don't have Wetherspoons in Atlanta, I did think maybe Biscuitville but apparently that doesn't exist in Georgia. I have been informed by American comrades that apparently Applebee's might be a suitable location.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I always thought gen X was because we all necked pills. Was there another reason?

 

[hitmouse]

Generation X?

Nice stripy top.

Holy shit, I'm a boomer, by 3 years. Hadn't realised that. Didn't realise this thread could get me any more depressed.

Douglas Coupland innit.

No idea.

Ok boomer.

Yeah exactly, if you shut up and bury feelings and problems deep inside in a box they do eventually go away....

My kids are always trying to get me to talk about feelings. No way. You start letting them out and people might die!

 

[Wilf]

Ok boomer.

You can tell you are getting old when hospitalised coppers start looking young.
