What generation are you?

[PieceofMind89]

I'm curious to see what generation the majority of Maiden fans are.

I'm a Millennial born in 1989.

 

[el diablo]

Gen X - born in 1971.

 

[Shavasku]

Gen Y, born in 1989.

I was born in January of the same year that Iron Maiden's debut came out. I think that actually makes me a "xenial" or whatever the fuck they call that.

 

[Saapanael]

I was born the year the “best” Iron Maiden album was released, therefore Gen Z.

 

[Black Bart]

Technically a millennial (March 1981), but with a lot in common with Gen Xers.

Generations are weird. So if one person's born in 1980 and the next is born in 1981 they're different generations despite growing up in the same period? Feels like they need to be spaced out a bit more.

Anyway, I'm slightly older than The X Factor, born in March 1995.

I was born the year the “best” Iron Maiden album was released, therefore Gen Z.

Virtual XI?

By the way, 2024 is the year when the reunion line-up will have lasted as long as the rest of Maiden's history.

New Year and this thread makes me old, Thanks! '74

Virtual XI?

Correcto!

 

[Jer]

Correcto!

You should obviously describe yourself as having been born the same year as The Chemical Wedding, then…

 

[TheMercenary]

It seems that this thread has been inspired by The Who and Blaze Bayley...

 

[Mosh]

I moved this over to the General Discussion subforum since it is not an Iron Maiden related topic. If you haven't already, I encourage you to check out some of the other threads here to get to know your fellow Maidenfans a bit better!

It didn’t even occur to me as I don’t listen to Bruce’s solo career often. It’s a good album, though.

 

[frus]

A few months older than the band

Millenial snowflake here, born September 1993.

Would you call the "baby boomer" (1946-64) generation as Gen W, V or U? What will be the generation that comes after Gen Z be called? Will it all restart from Gen A? Just curious!

Baby boomers are called that because the birth rate skyrocketed after WWII and by 1964 the birth rate started to decline.

The new generation is called Gen Alpha.

Oh, I see...

The early generations had the Great Depression and the World Wars, for Millenials and Gen Z its a spiritual conflict to deal with and the Alpha Generation? Possibly spiritual and technological both.
