    Counter point: not necessarily. Example: I was born in the late 80s. I really grew up in the 90s and 2000s.

      Y’all taking these showerthoughts way too seriously. It’s just a dumb number coincidence that happens to really only work with a particular age group at the current point in time. In a few years it’ll be different, and it isn’t true for every single data point, but this isn’t a philosophical revelation community.

      The joke is I said 60s and 70s twice and it mostly works out.

      And yea, I’m not relating it to your birth year, but the formative years. My mother is in her mid 60s, born near the end of the '50s, but the childhood years she remembers fondly are all in the '60s.
