Isn't Gen X and millenial the same? So a portmanteau word from these two is totally something else. As a Gen X'er myself (who is totally neither millennial nor xennial) I get it
Nope, they're not the same.
Boomers = Late 40s to Mid 60s
Gen X = Late 60s to Mid 80s
Millenial = Late 80s to Mid 90s
Gen Z = Late 90s to Mid 2000s/Early 2010s
GenX stops at 79. Millennials start at 80.
Xennial is basically a buffer between the two. Would be between 75-85.
I think we can all agree that Gen X starts with the end of the boomers in 1965, and that the end of millennials is if you weren't old enough to remember 9/11, so about 96-97.
The only disagreement is where the dividing line is between the two. I suggest the line should be Reaganomics, so early 1980s.
Uh no gen x ends late 70s
Thanks, I normally know that but got confused. Thanks for explaining and thanks to all those who downvoted my comment.
So maybe xennial is an older millennial? Either way, I identify as a whyennial from now on.
Nope. Boomer, Gen X, Millennial (we were referred to as Gen Y for a while), Gen Z, Gen Alpha.
Would you say it would be wrong to still do that?
You could. No one would know what the fuck you're talking about, but you could.
Milinneal is meant to be more descriptive to highlight that the generation approached adulthood around the turn of the century, and are characterized as having witnessed the rapid technological evolution of PCs, the internet, mobile phones, and smart phone in the first ~quarrer of their life
Gen Y, because Y the fuck am I doing what I'm doing?
