How Generation X and the Millennials differ
I am part of the millennial generation. Most kids my age have parents from generation X (mine are older). The most obvious difference is that the millennials are those born from 1982-2000. Generation X is older (1965-1976). There are various differences between the generations. A large noticeable one is the millennials have a much smaller population of only 51 million compared to 75 million coming from generation x. Another way is the way diversity is handled. Generation X accepts diversity while the millennials celebrate it. Think of how far we've come as a generation in handling racism and homophobia. Diversity is much more celebrated now than it was in 1965. Generation X is also considered more practical while the millennials are more optimistic and realistic.
