what constitutes the silent gen vs greatest gen vs boomers vs gen x’ers vs millennials vs zoomers of the competitive tf2 world?
the more i think about how long ive been in the scene relative to the age of the game the less I feel like a “zoomer” and more of a millennial or maybe even a gen x’er, ever since clockwork was talking about “boomer tf2” and how far back the scene really goes on his top 100 reviews

TLDR give a season/year range to define “generations” within the scene similar to the “generations” of age groups in real life

Determined by when you started playing 6v6

Boomer - Pre i46 (2012)
Gen X - i46 to 2015/16 (Overwatch release, Meet your match era)
Millenial - 2015/16 to probably start of RGL for NA (maybe 7 retiring in EU?), 2019ish.
Zoomer - after 2019ish.

I didn't like that this thread made me look at my TF2 mercenary medal and that I've been playing the same game for nearly 11 years

bit inaccurate to lump all the pre-2012 people together. like ryb and ams are not the same generation of player

Been playing since 2013 but I'm still literal garbage, does this mark me as a boomer or do I fall into a different, somehow worse, catagory?
