Everyone saying this is too late. We are Xennials not Millenials.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials
The graduating class of 2000 were the original millennials before it was used as a general term for an entire generation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
By the same article you posted, this is 3 years late. That fucker is already on the car and climbing towards the rest of us
Sure whatever millennials are consider starting in 1981. So oldest is 45. But whatever they are all made up and mean nothing. Cause now they are starting micro generations.
There are now several studies showing that generations rarely end precisely at one point and begin anew at another. In the case of Xennials, they do not identify with either the later Millennials or Generation X.
No really a made up thing isn't precise. There is no Xennials or that is the micro generations some are pushing. And come on the wealth of your family, where you are raised how you are raised are going to be bigger factors in how you grow up then your generation.
Was looking for this comment, thanks!
The Oregon Trail generation!
Missed out on that one by a couple years unfortunately, though I feel more of a connection to those who had a pre-digital childhood like myself than I do to the iPad babies of today.
Yeah, that sweet spot in timeline between analog and digital.
