Xennials were born 77-83 this fits perfect. I'm smack dab in the middle of that range and our 'generation's' defining characteristic is that we're in a constant state of nostolgia because we were on the wave of every new technology as it came out and subsequently fell off. I've had everything from an 8 track player, cassettes, cds, mp3's, limewre to an iphone in my pocket. we played oregon trail, nintendo, playstation, to VR games. We watched phones go from a party line to kids not even knowing what a rotary phone is or how to use one.
I'm in that range, GenX always felt older and Millennial a bit too young though I feel like I can identify with some of each but not all of either generation. I will say it's been a cool experience experiencing technology as this generation, from some places can't even use touch tone phones to internet everywhere(well mostly), and all the nifty stuff in between.
I thought that range was the Oregon Trail generation.
