    Gen X from 70 here. Not sure that I consider myself the "disco decade, lol. I was born Jan. 9th, so I think that's close enough to claim that I'm on the cusp and have attributes from both eras in me. I know I do.

    1948, at the tail end of the "flying forties", grew up in the "nifty fifties". Maybe that explains my love for old '50s rock & roll and doo-wop music!

    I remember hearing the 1970s referred to as "the decade that style forgot." Looking back at old photos, I have to agree.

    Oh please.

    I'd trade a miniskirt or hot pants for some of the 'style' I see woman wear today.

    I guess I am the Silent generation, born in 1940. I Grew up in the Nifty fifties or maybe the "last Happy days". My generation referred to the baby boomers as "Post war derelict darlings" I guess no matter what your generation, those that follow just don't measure up.

    Don't let those hot pants blind you to the brown and orange flowers, big purple swirls, flares, oh, and the hair!

    Baby Boomer - 1960 - Although my sister refuses to believe we're the same "generation" - she's one of the ones who started it all in 1946!

    Hey, I like 70s clothes! I wasn't around to see them in the 70s but I like vintage clothes.

    I've heard myself described as Gen X (1966) but also as "star X" because I was born as the baby boom was trailing off. Both of my siblings are definitely boomers.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
