Meet the group between Millennials and Gen. X

- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- There’s a group of people who don’t feel they belong. They feel too old to be true Millennials but too young to be from true Generation X. After trading similar experiences, the sentiment gained steam online. Now, they have a new label. Meet the Xennials.
![EST Gee - NEVER NEED (Feat. Selfpaid Savage) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/f2cRtr52HXI/mqdefault.jpg)
I was born in 1979 and I have always felt we were different. We are unique and we see the good and bad in both the Millennials and Gen X.
I was born in '81 and I think the same.
I was born in 79 also.
'77 and I feel the same way. I feel like we're an awesome hybrid because we possess the very best traits from Gen X before us and Millenials after us.
1979. Our childhood and early young adulthood falls solidly into analog Gen X experience, but the digital age landed just as we were transitioning from youth into solid adulthood. We kinda watched both groups at the club from a distance, but never getting past the bouncer!
Same. ‘79 here. It’s interesting because I can identify with a lot of stuff from both X and Millennials but not totally with each either.
Trust me Xennials are a true thing. We're the type that will look at the millennials in the work place that are Snap chatting every move they make and laugh. Then we'll listen to the Gen-xer's complaining about it to HR; and laugh at them too. Gen-xer's say "You're too young to understand" and Millennials will say "you're too old to hang out with us." It's odd...
I'm 37 and this is my job! Old enough to remember (half of) the 80s and love 80s music and pop culture but it wasn't "my generation" and young enough to not fit in with the late 60s/early 70s babies; then too old to fit in with the late 80s/early 90s babies who don't share any of the same pop culture and music or humor and also do the stereotypical "millennial" things (such as have a chat conversation for 30 minutes across the room instead of talking, or unironically using Instagram - WTF is that website for!) so I feel like I have no one truly close to hang out with. I realized in adulthood there was a lull of births in the 70s - early 80s which is why I don't meet many people my age but there seem so many born in 88, 89, etc.
Stiff Wit Actually there was an increase in births starting in 1977 after years of decline. The increase just accelerated faster in the late 80s.
@@istvanpraha Real Xennials in my experience are about 1980-1987. 88 were the first to have social media in high school (in 05-06) which might explain why there's a bit of a plunge in the late 80s and they still seem kinda teenish even today.
Omg exactly 😂
@@JPMcFly1985 I get this entirely. I was born in that range and didn’t have social media in high school, unless MySpace and Xanga count. I definitely relate more to the ‘80s than ‘90s or ‘00s.
I think this definition is way more accurate. As an early millennial, I have way more in common with the Gen X than the late millennials.
I was born in late 1982. I am one of this Xennial generation. I'm glad it as a name
Yes I agree totally I was born in 1983 and I feel Xennial is the perfect phrase to describe our generation
@@Ebonyqueen-ul7pgI agree same here. Older and mid age millennials (Xennials) are a bit different than younger “true millennials”, although the actual generation span does have a lot in common.
I like to call us the Oregon Trail generation. 😁
I feel like because of syndication, we watched the most re-runs of any generation.
I'm 100% XENNIAL and very proud of that. I consider that we're blessed because we got the BEST of both worlds! We're still too young to be a X Generation but we're also too old to be a Millennial. We were born between 1976-1985 approximately and today we're around 34-42. We are the LAST GENERATION to be EDUCATED and RAISED with Old School traditional and strong VALUES.
Maybe we're a very small generation but we're the most capable nowadays!
We had a very innocent and funny childhood. We grew up in a world without Internet, playing on the street, with game boards, and enjoying the remains of the Old World form our parents. But we were also the FIRST GENERATION to welcome the new digital world, the cellphones, computers, video games, globalization...but we have ANALOGICAL roots.
Some of us were "forced" to accept the new technologies and with the time we learn how to use them but some of us prefer some traditional habits and behaviors....we are more Conservatives than the Millennials.
We RESPECT the authorities and our elders, we really know how to WORK and we know the importance of EDUCATION to succeed in life combined with values such as Tolerance, Compassion, Honesty and Perseverance.
We like Technology but we DO NOT DEPEND ON IT....we watch the Internet only as a very useful TOOL but we like to do the things in the "Old Fashion Style"...at least I do! Some people of our Generation became "tech-addicts" but most if us prefer to practice sports, spend time with family, talk with our friends in person, go to the shopping malls...just simple things in life.
We went to Libraries to do our homeworks, we were witnesses of important events like the 9/11/2001, the Millennium New Year 2000, the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the Globalization, the Bill Clinton sex scandal, the famous OJ Simpson car chase, 2PAC murder in 96...etc.
We grew up surrounded by Excellent MUSIC and MOVIES thanks to our parents. We understand and value the EFFORT and how difficult this world is. Here in Mexico City where I am from....my childhood and adolescence was awesome, there were very good times. Globalization arrived to Mexico, the computers, the MTV, McDonalds in 1985, the Nokia and Motorola "brick" cellphones....and more!
We know how to use the old TurnTables with vinyl records, Walkman, Discman, MP3 until Spotify.
We are also a very, very nostalgic Generation....no matter the new movies and TV shows, Netflix series.....we always prefer the classics form the past. Friends, Beverly Hills 90210, Seinfield, The Simpsons, Knight Rider, McGywer, The A team, Miami Vice, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina, The Fresh Prince, the Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, Transformers, Home Improvement, Baywatch....and more great POP culture TV shows.
We are very lucky to be the Generational Bridge between the X's and the Millennials.
I liked your video and even we grew up in different countries...I think we agreed about this. Definitely we are XENNIALS.
Greetings from Mexico City.
Well said. I was born in 84 and a lot of this describes me perfectly. We got to grow up both at the end of the analog pre internet world and at the beginning of the digital internet world. We kind of got the best of both worlds and are both comfortable using modern tech but also remember what came before.
76-77 isn't Millennial leaning at all, they remember the entire 80s! 1978 is the absolute earliest that could pass for Xennial, since they could have used the internet in high school (96), and they're the oldest that sometimes doesn't like the 80s quite as much. And I think it extends to 1987 or so
Your Just an old Millennial going through a midlife crisis. Xenials: a sub branch of Millennials.
1983 here
I strongly disagree with the timeline. I feel that the ‘77-‘83 timeline is very skewed and is much more accurately ‘77-‘87. I myself were born in 1986 and my parents were NOT young. Neither were my wife’s folks. They are boomers…. Mid 70’s and 81 years old. We were raised as such, as a Gen X was raised. There are many of us that fit into this demographic and absolutely despise being categorized with millennials simply because of the lack of work ethics or “old world” mentality and morals.
I'm born in 1981.
I have no clue which I am.
I had an Atari, Commander Keen on PC, got a Gameboy, hit life on AOL, had a pager, and loved my Skip-it.
November 16th, 1981 was my entrance date!😂 You and I are Xennials. I've embraced that term very proudly.
Got to watch creepy old Jack Palance host the original BELIEVE IT OR NOT on ABC. Remembered viewing shows on my parent's 13" Motorola Black and White CRT TV.
ITT Rotary Telephone was the first phone I used to reach friends. And the Yellow Pages...God, that smell of newsprint is forever in my memories.❤
Heck I remember in 84 playing outside, climbing trees, and getting dirty.
I was in trees all day.
And stealing my sister's NKOTB tapes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@billydiana haha, the right stuff
@@billydiana I threw my sisters NKOTB dolls out of my 2nd story bedroom window on homemade parachutes. Splat…
A quick way to tell between Xennials and late Millennials: when they hear “tik tok,” Xennials think of watches / clocks, late Millennials think of video social media.
This was published on my freaking birthday! I just found out today that I am a xenial.
I found out today too. I'm 🤯 and 😁 at the same time.
I just found out about another one. Gen Jones. That's my mom. In-between baby boomers and GenX. I had never heard of them either.
I was born in 77 when starwars came out and elvis left to go home. At 5 years old I was programming the ZX81. The sound of modem screeches were music to my ears. Run all my programs in dos. Never heard of Windows. And the best console was the ColecoVision with the Atari 2600 addon module. 7800 came later. Doom came out and was the best game ever. In 3 chapters and the entire first chapter was completely free game you found on the cover of PC format magazine. Never heard of Internet. iPhones apps or PlayStation. As we grew up we saw these inventions come to the public eye. And we adapted to them and made it our own. I never saw myself as a millennial because they were born and raised with this technology. I never identified with generation X because they shunned the technology. Some tried to adapt to it but it's like an alien nation to most of them. The generation I was born into was born to adapt to a changing world.
A world where a man walked on the moon with a black and white only Computer with 32kb of ram was the hight of technology. To towering industry's of 4K TVs, iPad Pro, PS4, gps and Virtual reality. We have seen the growth of humanity and have been the pioneers of this digital revolution that the millennials enjoy so much and the Gen X's shun.
I'm proud to be called a Xennial
Xennial is my generation
I had that same stuff, and I'm 3 years older than you. Am I a Xennial from 1974? Is Xennials now 1974 to 1985?
Thank you for posting 👍🏻 I'm from Germany. Born 79. Xennial. I find myself in the reports about that microgeneration and it helps me to think about my life. I spent my late childhood and my teens in the 90s. So in a way we Xennials are the 90s teens. We dived the deepest into the 90s. Actually I think that times aren't completely different today for teens. We had a lot of opportunities too. The big difference is the smartphone. I'm happy about my analog childhood. Actually I can't remember much of the 80s. But my parents told me and there are some pics or vids too. It was great to grow up in the 90s. There wasn't the Berlin wall anymore. Everything felt safe. There was the Gameboy, the Dreamteam, CDs, later the Internet, Lan parties and music from Nirvana to Britney Spears 😅 It probably ended with 9/11. I think back and I'm thankful! Let's see what the future brings for my kids 😀
As someone in that range ('79), I can say that I am neither Gen X nor Millenial.
1981 born and I say the same. I'm neither genX nor millenial. I've always said it and today it's been confirmed. Finally.
1982 here. Way too old to be a millennial anyways.
I too identify as being a xenial. I was born in 1984 one year after 1983, one year after they stop counting people as being xenials. This I take issue with. Listen people, they should continue to count people as being xenials up until the year 1986 not 1983. That is the year America truly began to change, what with the NFA of 1986 and all. My dad was an Army vet, he left me a small gun collection and a small ammo collection to go along with it. Here in the PRC, the People's Republic California they took it all from me. Yeah Liberals are the true Nazis. I am a xenial, born after 1983, very pro-constitution, label me as conservative or liberal, whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me I'm non-partisan. That being said I know better then to vote for the party that is anti-constitution, the leftist stateist liberals. I've never voted Democrat in my life.
It was supposed to be 1981 to 1986 technically 1980 was the cut-off for Gen-X they keep changing it. If you were born before 87 you pretty much had an analogue childhood and still got a taste of the 80s and spent a of your teens in the 90s.
Im an '84 model too and I feel you. I cant stand millenials most of the time, yet I always have to work with them 😒 93% of them are useless and don't listen/have a shitttty attitude.
I completely agree with all of this. I'm 1984, and I FIRMLY identify as a Xennial.
we definitely are a thing , but since we're not that many , it's hard to regroup . personally i both love technology AND respect the values of the past , and no i dont identify with millenials and genxers at all ? i believe they're both too extremes some time , as if they were trying to annul one another ( millennials bashing gen x and vice versa ) . although i don't identify with them , i can see where some of their ideas are useful and beneficial for our collective future ( sorry for my english , french)
I was born in 1979
I was born in 77. I’m gen x and identify as that . NOT a xennial!!
Generation X is a well-established generation.
The idea of a Xennial is just that...an idea with no foundation.
@@btetschner exactly
@@rosealexander9007 BUT, it could be a generation if the idea was developed.
I was born in 1979, and Generation X is certainly the best generation now.
@@btetschner here is the perfect example of why a xennial is a dumb idea. People born around my time to the early 80’s try to say that we are our own little generation and don’t share things with early generation x have no idea what they are talking about. While it’s true that I might not share the exact life experiences as a older generation x when it comes to things we saw take place in the news, we still very much share many of the same cultural things. About a month ago there was this male that I know. He was carrying his backpack on one shoulder. I immediately said to him your generation X aren’t you. He said yes! In fact he was born in 1965. And in 1977 the year I was born 11 years later I would grow up to also carry my backpack on one shoulder. So we aren’t that different and this is the reason they came up with the different generations and the years that they are in. This Xennial thing is complete nonsense.
@@rosealexander9007 The main reason is that the Xennial Generation was created was because 1.) People at the end of Generation X can relate to their generation and some of the first years of the next generation 2.) The "Elder Millennials," the first years of the Millennial Generation, are the best of a bad generation and want a second chance.
In the battle of the Generations, Generation X won.
If a new generation (the Xennial Generation) was formed, the "Elder Millennials" would be the ones responsible for contributing to its development.
Xennial checking in, and suddenly things make sense since discoveringt his microgeneration identification and traits
I just realized that "checking in" is such a Xennial phrase. No other generation uses it like we do.
@@kingcrimson234 well there ya go, that;'s how you know i ain't lyin lol
I’m an older millennial, 83, and I do like like the label, however I think it should be a sub generation within the generation span because whether older or younger millennials we do share much in common. I don’t mind being called a millennial, because cranky ass Gen X definitely lets me know I’m a millennial, however Xennial definitely fits that span of the entire generation span.
Xennials were born between 1977--1985
1977-1983 is the most commonly accepted age range. Basically if you were in high school at any point with students born in 1980, you are a Xennial.
1993 1998 or 1995 2000 zillenials 😁
I was born in 1976 and I view myself as a Xennial. This generation should be from 1975 to 1985
I think 85 is a little late, but 75 for sure. By 75 a lot of the cultural changes from the 60's were cemented, so anyone born after that wouldn't really experience what older Gen X did.
I loved watching this! I feel like the ones born between Millennia’s and GenZ should have there own as well! I’m a 97 and I don’t feel like a GenZ. But I’m not a Millennial either 🥺.... there are some things I like from each but don’t fully embrace either🤷🏽♀️
Xennials are not the first "in-between" generation. Generation Jones (between Gen X and baby Boomers) Swing Generation (Silent Gen/Boomers) are two.
We do now Zillenial 😊
I feel like both but don't fit on with either.
I was born in the middle of 1984 shortly before the los angeles Olympics began. So I'm a early millennial but possibly a xennial also.
I hate how these designations are always mid 70s to early 80s. Why can't it be more like 1979-1989? There's nothing Millennial about 1975-1977 borns, they didn't even have basic internet in high school. And plenty of us born in the mid/late 80s also grew up with cassette tapes, the NES, MTV when it was rock culture, etc.
👍. Exactly.
More like the Class of 92 -98 are the first 7-year cohort. The culture shifted in the Fall of the 91/92 school year, drastically different than the prior cohort (the big-hair Xers), xennials if you will. The Class of 99 - 05, are the middle millennials who relate everything to boy bands, bling, dial-up tech & flip phones. Last the Late millennials, Class of 06 - 12 - Big Tech, Social Media, Smart Phones, & Mumble Rap. Gen X starts with Jonesers (Class of 71-77), Feathered Xers (78-84), & Big Hair Xers (85-91).
Fall of 92. When I started college in 1992 it was a whole different world from what I graduated in. My senior year still looked like 1989, but in college it felt like the 90's with all the Grunge everywhere.
In 92 there were still leftovers from the 80s.I was in high school then and the girls in my graduating class had big hair,guys wore mullets,high top fades,gumbys,it was pretty much still leftovers from the late 80s.
@@umarbentley4953 it is possible to have two people, who are the same age, who each belong to a different generation because of overlap.
'leftovers' always exist, also referred to as transition years, during which time there are diminishing numbers of 'hold-overs,.' which are accounted for, even though norms have changed. in the reverse direction there are the 'early adopters,' who are referred to as being out of step[ with their peers and ahead of their time.
The transition out of the latchkey generation actually began in 1989, and continued into the 90's. just as at the beginning of the Jones era (those born after 12/31/1952 who therefore did not face being drafted into Vietnam) began to transition out of boomer until about the 1975/76 it became clear that there was a new distinct cohort - generation latchkey.
1979! Gen X!
1987 (and 1988) was when the Commodore Amiga game FirePower (a tank game with singleplyer and multiplayer) came out and you could connect two Amiga A500 (or Amiga A2000 or A1000 etc.) together via a modem or null modem cable. You could chat via text over the modem. The 1996 email (while significant) was not some huge surprise. Even though other computers could use a serial null modem cable or dial-up modem, the Amiga could play video and the game was readily available. The game was readily available and quite cheap and a very easy way for even kids to type chat over internet. If you really wanted to, there was nothing stopping you from both having a video each (such as on Hard-Drive) and playing the video simultaneously (even ignoring video timing, a tech the Amiga had), then chatting about it in text in a game of FirePower. Later you could buy a video-toaster and CD drive. The cost was easily matched by kids who instead bought both a Sega and Nintendo and many games on cartridges.
Look up "HAM video Commodore Amiga" and you'll see the video basically looks like a 4:3 ratio Standard Definition TV.
From 1989 you could take an A590 hard-drive (removable) around to your mate's house and swap data and even have a SCSI drve extra in the back of it, let alone data tape. The jump from floppy to usb-mass-storage had writeable (let alone CDROM) storage technologies inbetween which is why eventually the Zip-disk was popular for a while.
People still use external hard-disk-drives today with a connector (not just wireless).
The vibe or notion that these techs were not around before is a nonsense.
Linking a null modem cable between two rooms nearby was commonplace like a LAN party (although yes network devices existed too).
When the 1996 time came, within no time the Aminet Amiga centralised website was set up and the already vast Public Domain software (and documents) collection was on there to download. Amiga owners (e.g. using Aweb or Voyager with Amigatel Minitel). It was expected and they were waiting for it to happen (and writing it).
When the Gameboy came out it looked old because it was black-and-white and in the same year 1989 the AtariLynx was out and clearly better in colour with a blitter chip (speeding up 3D polygons if needed, etc.). Then a year later the Gamegear was out and it could play TV with a later adaptors so the colour handheld screen was no surprise.
That's nothing but Gen X. We grew up on New Kids, analogue and digital, ect.
1979 baby here. Just the right generation
1978 here.
I was born in 1976. My older sister of 7 years was born in 1969. While we’re both under the gen x umbrealla. There’s quite a difference. Nirvana, was big when I was in high school, Reality Bites came out in 94, I was 17 yrs old vs the Breakfast Club which came out 85, when I was 9 yrs old. 9/11 happened when I was in my early 20’s. Perhaps generations are changing more rapidly, but I think what you’re experiencing during your teens and early 20’s are the defining moments of your generation. They should look at the ages of those during high school years and early 20’s and base it on those years instead. Just seems more fitting.
It's simple...if you had an Atari and now have an X box or PS5. You are a xennial.
Born in 81.
Yes!! Exactly right!! There absolutely should be a separate term for that last three years of one/first three years of the next generation group.. There not "clean cut-off" with age groups like this...
I really think the 1977-1983 span is too early (it still leans way heavier on the Gen X side than the Millennial side). It should've included the entire 80s babies. I mean why is 83 Xennial but 84 isn't? That's ridiculous to use that as a cutoff point since almost all 80s babies have SOME Gen X characteristics, like growing up with VHS tapes.
JPMcFly1985Two #FeelTheBern maybe it should/could be expanded to 1985. I was born in 83 and my wife in 87 and she grew up with a phone and CD players and such where I didn't. So I would be against all 80s born.
Jeremy Odell For one cutting it off at 1985 is just flat out dumb. Second your wife being born in 1987 and having a phone early on sounds like she was on of the rare exceptions because not many people born before 1989/1990 had cell phones in throughout their teens. There is NO difference between someone born in 1985 and 1987. I know because I was born during that time. JPM is right, it should have been expanded to 1988 or 1989. Stop using 85 as cutoff just because it's in the middle of the decade.
Jason Wren well you have your opinion. And I have mine. No reason to get all sensitive over the matter.
Jeremy Odell It's really more of a fact
Jason Wren you believing it to be a fact. Dosent mean it's a fact
May 1 1980 gen x raised and babysitted by gen x and ran the streets with both X and millennials.. this description fits. I feel it's a unique place
Gen X and Xennials only!
xennials appreciate tradition but are willing to change and have optimism.
I will never forget having to swap stiffy after stiffy to load more and more stages while playing Larry on my mothers ICL computer with the black and orange screen
1980
I was born in 1977 and there is no doubt I am xennial
AWESOME
Keep change i will remain old fashioned gen x
But the world will always keep changing though. We can't runt from it.
Born in 1985, I hated when I realized that I form part of the gen millennial. I don't align well with the check lists, but I live and was raised in a very conservative country. No participation awards, got spanked more times than I can count [well deserved I was a wild kid], I was raised to do what is meant to be done regardless of how my feelings are. [went to my first day of work 1 day after my mom died and my coworkers didn't know until later, why?, because that is how she along side my dad raised me]
Hogwash. Born ‘87 and Oregon Trail was that ish in fifth grade. And nobody was sending an email in 1996. We barely understood how to type in the address bar!
CS Jobson people were indeed sending emails in 96. We were using the internet in school when I was in high school and I am a xennial.
bottom line is, you had internet available, we didn't
Gen X can have their teenage 80s. Millenials belong in 1990-2000. The 1980s babiea are the xennials
Lol That’s stupid to think that someone born in 2000 would be in the same generation with Early 90s babies.
There's a stark contrast between someone born in 1982, and someone born in 1992.
You have to dig into the deeper meanings of generational cohorts. For example: if you were born in 1982 like I was, I was coming to age in 1991. Some one born ten years later, came to age when the world went into hyper over drive. Being born in 1991, means you were ten years old during 9/11.. Internet was in every household, culture was changing, we went to war, the financial crisis hit. A ten year old wouldn't understand this as much as I would. I was 20 years old, done with school and in the workforce. I remember playing pac-man at arcades, in 1989.... I remember when AOL was a new trend for nerds and all the girls in high school were watching Dawson's Creek....
Whereas, someone born in 1991, it was commonplace to have computers and later tablets at their teenage years. By the time a kid born in 1991 was a teenager, they sent texts, rather that writing each other and passing notes in the hall.
Like I said, stark differences.
@@tawksoul8489 zillenials 1995 2000 or 1993 2000
Gen X were teens and 20s in the 90s, and defined that era. Only early Gen X were teens in the 80s.
Thank you for the video.
Just made it lol
Huh?! These are GEN X, dude. We go to from '65 to '84.
Am I the only one who noticed they got the age wrong? 1977 to 1983 40 to 46. They said 77 to 83 and called it 34 to 40
The video is 6 years old
My little brother was born in '83 I tell him he's a hybrid
I’ll stick with being a gen x thank you🤣 all these stupid names flying around.
Im 1984 and this is definitely it for me!
We are definitely not millennials
Born in late 1980
Heh. The more you know... I always thought we were GenY, even though according to my kids I'm a boomer xD.
That is cold.
OMFG, was it really that much of a slow fucking news day that a new 'generation' was invented *after* they were already made up?
Holy fuck! The millenials were first called Gen Y's, then somewhere along the line that got changed to 'millenial' and then someone decided to come up with shit *after* that generation was long out of school. HOLY FUUCCCCKKKK
DONT MARKETING DEPARTMENTS HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?!?
Millennials

No wonder I'm so confused lol.
est 1984. Millennial? no way
Me born 1980 is that Xennial?

i dont understand why the 84 kids are just written off. fuckin stop it.
If your first word was omg then you are NOT an xennial. Our first word was oregon trail.
food stamp generation
I’m Gen X. I’m glad.
🤔
i dont see how anyone born in the 80 can be a millennial. i would have thought that was for kids born in the 90s..xenials should include anyone born in the 80 because thats nowhere close to the millennium.
It's the idea that you become an Adult at the Millenium, not that you're born then . Turning 21 in the year 2000, for example.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic totally right. I graduated highschool in 2000 and i remember all of the older people calling us millennials at that time. It was the first time i had heard the term. a lot of people i know who are born in the '90s will tell me that i'm not a millennial cause i was born in 82, don't realize the original meaning. In my eyes, being born in the 80s makes you more of a millennial than being born in the first half if the 90s.
@@dhuuki82 I was born in ‘90 and I get it that someone born in 1980-1981 might not be a Millennial since they both graduated at the end of the 1990s but I never saw myself in a separate Generation from 1982-1985 borns since they Graduated in the same decade as me (the 2000s). I can’t say I’m different from ‘88-‘89 borns since I was in Middle School with them during 9/11. I had the same youth experiences with late 80s babies.
@@tawksoul8489 I get that. I had the same upbringing g and childhood experiences as people born in the late 70s. When I was in grade school I was always told that people born in the 80s were millennials.
Are 1975 and 1976 Xennial too?
That name is stupid.
This is a silly notion. There are always the early people of a generation. Im 41 and their are generation Xers that are 51. These gen Xers come off more like boomers and are closer to that age, but in reality they are just the early gen X ers. The millennials that are in their mid 30s are the early millennials. I know some of them and they like to consider themselves gen xers, but they fully cant
I don't think most 80s babies are that Millennial. I'm 1983 and WANT to be Millennial because I feel younger than my age, but in reality I know I'm way older than the media stereotype of a Millennial (which is like 1991-2001 or something). Almost all 80s babies have some Gen X characteristics but aren't fully X either.
JPMcFly1985Two #FeelTheBern you have your timeline totally messed up millenial is 81-94. Gen z is anything after 95. Its not about who you identify with. The numbers are the numbers
JPMcFly1985Two #FeelTheBern Will I'm sorry milliennial will always be the official label and you're a part of it. That being said, that's all it is is a label and doesn't really mean anything.
twice_baked potato THANK YOU!!!
Gen X sucks!!
So pretty much an early millenial
that's the problem, because no one can decide when X ends. Some end it as early as 1973, others go as late as 1985!
Nah, Xennials
Or late GenXer
65-80
I feel "Xennials" are no different than late 80's babies trying to find a group to belong/fit. Late 80's babies have some of these experiences as well. My memory stretches back to 1993/92.
I used a floppy disk in school & I couldn't STAND the AOL dial-up sound. I did my school research assignments in actual books from a library. I didn't get my 1st cellphone until my junior yr in HS when I got my 1st job (2005) & MySpace maybe senior yr or post HS graduation.
So, I spent ALL of my years growing up w/o laptops, cellphones, social media, etc. I was hit by the recession as well because I had been working for about 3 or 4yrs already. I was a teen during 9/11.
Not at all buddy, we are completely different from the late 80 babies. Grandparents still had and used 8 tracks and record players. Having a cassette player made you rich
@@ShyRage1 The same thing can be said about late 80's babies differences from 90's babies. It's no different. There are things I experienced that kids born in the mid 90's didn't, yet, we're all still considered Millennials. We aren't grouped based on who had a record player as a kid or who used a VCR. It has more to do with our memory and experience during 9/11, the internet, etc.
@@amber324 At the end of the day, I'm a Xennial and you are a Millennial. Case closed
@@ShyRage1🤣 ...yeah...sure. Research still considers you a Millennial. It doesn't care about how it makes you feel. There's only Silent, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z (@ the moment) in their studies. I'm not talking about entertainment sources, either. Research updates in January 2019, "Millennials are those born between 1981-1996. This is an update of a post that was originally published March 1, 2018, to announce the Center's adoption of 1996 as the endpoint to births in the Millennial generation."
@@amber324 lol!
Xenial = Genial
Sad individuals.
Kyle you are one pathetic person lol. Get over it
Go fuck yourself
But the is one thing we have in common between GenX, Xennials and Millennials is the Dislike towards GenZ
This is ridiculous.
Not at all
What is ridiculous.? Not wanting to belong to the millennial aka “The whinny” generation?
