Xennials were born 77-83, aka the Oregon Trail Generation. They had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood. Source: I am one and also wikipedia

It makes you that weird guy ;) Just kidding, all of these generation labels are dumb.

Younger millenial. You were cognizant, you were present not only in body but also mind during the "turn of the millennium". That is the key component of a millenial. You didn't just slide out of your mom December 21, 1999, oooo, that makes me a millenial! No, bitch, it does not. It is our collective memories & upbringing that define us as a generation.

You remember where you were, what you were doing when 9/11 happened. Another shared generational experience.

Very young millennial or old gen z, take your pick.

Full of shit? By the time you were 12 we were in the smart phone era. If your parents were ludites, I guess you could be millennial'ish.

Makes me wonder if I, an 87, almost count because my schools were too poor to have updated software. Oregon Trail was my jaaaam.

Nope. Too old, not in those specific years. Sorry but you're a Boomer now.
