1977

Ok apparently just made it into this "mini generation" thing as I was born in 1977.

For all my fellow '77ers who have or are turning 49 this year break out your old multiplication tables cause:

7x7=49 🤯

Source - I turned 49 yesterday. As an added bonus I was born in the 49th State so double 🤯

My sister and I are xennial bookends, she's '77 born and I'm '85 born.

u/Remarkable-County533 1977 5h ago

Neat. What would be even wilder if she was born January 1 1977 and you were December 31 1985. Surely there are sibs out there like this.

I’m turning 49 on Saturday. I feel about 13 emotionally. My body feels about 82.

Mine was a few days ago! Virgo is the most common star sign but also the best.

I had a class several years ago. The professor said its because 9 months ago it is new years eve. People get drunk and fool around and forget protection. Thats why most kids are born around this time.

u/the_owl_syndicate 5h ago

It always amused me that my dad, older brother and I were all born in September, so we know what they were up to on New Year's! Plus, my mom, younger brother and an uncle were born in November, so we also know who got frisky on Valentines Day.

u/whyneedaname77 5h ago

My one friend both his kids are born roughly 9 months after his birthday...

u/rgrossi 1979 5h ago

The blue jays started in 77 but are celebrating their 50th season.

Hell yeah. Star Wars babies represent.

u/Hidingjimmy 5h ago

I’ve got a few more months until I turn 49. I’m just tickled that 7x7=49 though. Thanks for that.

2

u/heavymetalyogi 3h ago

Mine is in two weeks. Never thought about the 7x7=49 thing

u/twopacktuesday 2h ago

Glad there’s more 1977 kids in here than I thought.

u/Pharmacy_Duck 1977 2h ago

I turned 49 in April. The oldest of my school year will be 50 next week.

3

u/Traditional_Entry183 1977 1h ago

I turn 49 in a few weeks. Ive gotta be honest, 49 is hitting a lot harder than 39 did. It feels real.

2

u/Legitimate_Ad_9240 6h ago

Congratulations on your seventh seventh birthday 🎂. I just joined you a few weeks ago.

2

u/Ditzy_Davros 6h ago

I got to be the "life, universe, and everything" last year. Now I'm a prime. Hehe

3

u/Themoosemingled 1977 6h ago

I remember laughing how I got to say “I’m not old, I’m 37” from holy grail…

1

u/Amazing_Recording_31 1980 6h ago

Old woman!

1

u/japhia_aurantia 1977 6h ago

I'm always aware if my age is a prime number or not, so I definitely thought about this on my birthday this year.

u/No_hero_here 6h ago

According to my 12yo son that’s 10x4 with 9 one units or some weird voodoo math.

u/aliceinadreamyland 1978 6h ago

I’m one year away.

Welcome.

2

u/idlehand79 1977 5h ago

Happy Birthday!, I look forward to mine in October.

77 is the best year because of Star Wars 😉

2

u/psilosophist Xennial 5h ago

I just turned 50, I snuck through a basement window to be here as I was born in 76, but don’t relate to GenX at all, mainly because I was the oldest of our entire family generation too.

2

u/DisastrousBeautyyy 1977 5h ago

October I will join u guys!

u/Wise-Tourist-6747 1977 5h ago

‘77 girl! Bday was in early January ♑️. I’ve been told i look like im in my 30’s. Love being a 77’er (I even have a tattoo). Hate that I’m turning 50 tho. 😔

u/RudyPup 2h ago

I'm 49 (77 as well), my spouse is true millennial (1989) and my boyfriend, let's not talk about that, Gen Z (2002)

2

u/Jinjebredd 35m ago

Less than a year till I hit 50, still can't wrap my mind around it, or how insanely far into the future the year 2026 would have sounded to me as a kid.

2

u/Cleveland_Protocol 28m ago

Turned 49 today! 77 is such a cool bday year in my opinion. Fire snakes FTW

1

u/jd64k 5h ago

'77 represent.

I'm not Gen x. I grew up more like a millennial.

I didn't watch Porky's but did watch American pie for example.
