   I'm a Xennial. It is the ‘modern’ label for those of us who were born in the overlapping years of GenX and GenY (GenY is called Millennial today).

   Those born between these years are Xennials:
   * 1977–1985 according to Business Insider
   * 1977‒1983 according to The Guardian
   * 1977‒1982 according to Slate

   The years of each generations:
   * ???‒??? - The Ancients
   * Anything between “The Ancients” and 1945 have different names, and is usually based on different Western countries.
   * 1946‒1964 - Baby #Boomers
   * 1965‒1985 - #GenX
   * 1977‒1985 - #Xennial
   * 1981‒1996 - #GenY a.k.a. #Millennial (or #GenM in South Korea)
   * 1997‒2012 - #GenZ
   * 2013‒2025(?) - #GenAlpha

   There is also what is called #GenMZ. It is a combination of Millennials and GenZ, that is 1981‒2012. “GenMZ” is more commonly used in South Korea than anywhere else.

     @MariaTheMartian Before “Xennial” was coined, I just referred to my those years as #GenXY haha.

     Though, I identify more as GenX when it comes to cultural aspects and experiences. Landline phones, traditional street games, the collapse of the Berlin Wall and USSR, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Cold War. And of course music taste (I like 70s to 80s more than the 90s) and our own local events.

     Those are the things I won't forget. Like the Chernobyl disaster, there was panic buying for milk products, and all talk about the “end of the world” and “WW3”.

     But when it comes to modern things and work values, I'm more GenY.

     @youronlyone@c.im I was born in 1978 so I've been confused if I was X or Xennial...so I guess I'm Xennial. This is interesting.
