    Xennials not represented there (part of why they’re part Gen-X, never recognized). They have one foot in each generation, a group growing up in a small gap of time where they were part of before and after the technological swing. Shows how the explosion of tech created its own subset of generation.

      It’s literally a 5 year gap towards the end of gen x. I didn’t see my first webpage until the day I graduated highschool and I immediately knew whatever school tried to prepare me for was outdated and then I helped my dad on the farm for 20 years and never really had a need for it despite being heavily interested in gaming and PCs

        The generation thing is messy and inaccurate, and regionally shifted too because some people even as Millennials didn’t have access to things that characterize that generation. But as a trend yes, you were part of the last Gen-X, AND shared a lot of the Millennial aspects as you grew up with things Gen-X didn’t even dream about.
