I swear Harris trying to be the hip young meme conscious candidate because she's only middle aged instead of "was in Methuselah's graduating class" has already hit the barrier of "so cringe it's almost gotten funny again."
Especially since her social media team seems to actually understand how to be loud about confronting the enemy on the internet and making them look dumb.
Harris is a Boomer by a little over two months. Missed Gen-X by a hair. I hate to break it to the millennials but Harris isn't middle aged...you are.
Since when did middle aged mean 30s?? I always thought it was mid 40s to mid 50s
Late thirties until you qualify for AARP (50), but honestly, we live an actively lifestyle for so long now that it really holds no significance anymore.
I am not questioning that you found this, but it assumes people live to be 120. The optimism is intense.
No, it does not assume that at all
"Middle age" has always meant the years from when you are at about half of life expectancy until you go to the next stage of life of newr-retirement or retirement
Aka 40s-60s
I had boldly assumed that it meant middle of life expectancy, but it does not (although exact range can be debated): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_age#:~:text=Middle%20age%2C%20or%20middle%20adulthood,young%20adulthood%20and%20this%20stage.
Middle aged doesn't mean the halfway point of someone's life, it never has.
She was 13 when Star Wars came out. That makes her Gen-X as far as I'm concerned.
No u
Some say 1961 some say 1962 is the start of gen x, so years in favour of she's being gen x.
I mean if anyone cares (spoiler, I don't).
Officially from most sources it is 1965, but if we're being honest, the stereotypes of Gen-X come from those born in the 1970's.
It's still fun to welcome Millenials to the grey hair club.
It's crazier than that. If you put every single definition of Generation X together, it stretches from the late 1920s to the mid-1980s.

Generation Jones is sometimes used to represent the bridge cohort between Boomer and X. The last boomers / first Gen X.
Bro I'm a Zillenial, I ain't middle shit!
This meme is legit funny
Seriously. I feel like her media team adopted AOC's social media prowess and ran with it. Love it.
