Xennials

Xennial: how did I miss this one?

• wikipedia;
• the micro-demographic born during release of original Star Wars trilogy, 1977 - 1983;
  
• USA Today, December 20, 2018, how to tell;
• at 33 years old, was approaching middle age, 
• this explains everything; our two daughters, born 1979 and 1983; 

From USA Today linked above:

• some people don't feel a connection to either age group;
• Xennials: those folks born on the cusp of when Gen X-ers and Millennials meet;
• they experienced world events, especially technology, in unique ways particular to their age;

Reminder, from Pew Research:

• Generation X: those born between 1965 and 1980
• Millennials: those born between 1981 and 1996
• Xennials: those born between 1977 and 1983 (others suggest, 1979 - 1983)

Comment from the linked article:

"You have a childhood, youth and adolescence free of having to worry about social media posts and mobile phones. 

It was a time when we had to organize to catch up with our friends on the weekends using the landline, and actually pick a time and a place and turn up there."

iGeneration: Generation Z: the zoomers:

• 1995 - 2012
• follows the Millennial generation
• precedes Generation Alpha
• children of Generation X; some are children of millennials;

Generation Alpha:

• Sophia was born 2014, so Generation Alpha;
• first generation to be born entirely in the 21st century;
• most are children of the millennials;
• defining event: the pandemic. Period. Dot.
