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.

Uh no gen x ends late 70s

[–] Cort 2 points 9 months ago

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.

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.
