There's apparently a name for the generation born in the late '70s and early '80s
We’ve all heard about millennials, and the generation that came before them, commonly known as Generation X. While most descriptions paint some pretty stark differences between those two generations, some have noticed that people born roughly between the years of 1977 and 1985 don’t seem to fit neatly in either category.
Writing for Business Insider, Marleen Stollen and Gisella Wolf explain the problem thusly:
“The years of our birth lie between two huge generations. We had to bridge the divide between an analog childhood and digital adulthood and we are reminded of this day after day. We live with one foot in Generation X and one in Generation Y [aka millenials]. This is an uncomfortable position to keep up and we aren’t fond of it.”
Well, now there is a new term floating around to describe this so-called “microgeneration.” These folks are now being referred to as xennials (a combination of Gen X and millennial).
