Meh, ignore the labels. The pundits couldn’t decide what to call people my age until we were almost twenty then they stuffed us into my parent's generation — Baby Boomers. What the hell? My parents, Aunts, Uncles and most of my teachers through high school were boomers, how can you call me a Boomer too?

So right then and there I decided to ignore all of the labels that were declared by those ‘in the know’ and just take people as they are. So what if some person looking for the subject of a filler article on a news program needs a shocking — and probably unresearched headline and does a fluff piece? I know that if American cheese actually went away the companies that make it would be just fine, they have other products they would just change that production over.

Stop obsessing over what someone else calls you, live your life, be yourself. If you want to be a millennial great! embrace it, if not more power to ya, but whatever you do just do it rather than paying attention to what other people tell you to be.
