Eric Hirsch: Ignoring Gen X is the generationally appropriate thing to do in most cases so you were basically right

Kamala Harris is technically a boomer but her levels of earnest cringe would make her the nation's first millennial president in spirit

And speaking as a Cringe-Millennial I think representation is so important

I have been corrected. Harris is Gen X. But her cringe levels are still millennial coded

While we talk about the boom as encompassing 1946 to 1964, demographers note that it really began mid-1946 and ended mid-1964. Harris, born in Oct 1964, can therefore fairly be described as Gen X.

Ignoring Gen X is the generationally appropriate thing to do in most cases so you were basically right

Thank you, I’m doing my part

We X’ers appreciate you, Matt.
