    But Gen Y is the same as millennial, yes, I can just Barely fit into that age range, depending on what site I look at. But I really don’t consider myself a millennial.   but I think the definition of Xennial fits me more even though I just found it tonight lol. 

     

    “Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts. Researchers and popular media use birth years from the late 1970s to early 1980s or as late as 1985 as their defining range. Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood“

    That makes sense, but it also may be said of late boomers like me as my 60th birthday looms VERY soon. I grew up with landline phones and went to college with an electric typewriter. Started using PCs at 24, although I didn't have a cellphone until around my 40th birthday.

    Chronologically, I am a boomer. I was born about two years before the end of the baby boom.

    I thought boomers are in their 80’s lol. I don’t pay enough attention to these things. I just know the Gen names and the online jokes about them.

    Boomers are in their 70s.

    Silent Generation - 1928-1945
    Baby Boomers - 1946-1964
    Generation X - 1965-1980
    Millennials (aka Gen Y) - 1981-1986
    Generation Z - 1996-2012
    Generation Alpha - Early 2010s - late 2020s

    I stand corrected.  I was thinking of the outside ages since she said 80s.

      Your math is a bit off by a couple of decades: 2020 -1964 = 54

      While it’s true that on the 1946 year of birth would make a person 74 today, the entire span of Baby Boomers are not all the same age.

    Thank you, but I still feel that If you are born right at the beginning or end of one of those generations you don’t really fit into the group.

    Sorry. You are right. Crazy all this time I thought there was something inbetween X and Millenial. Lol. 

    To me you seem more Gen X.  But I maybe adding a couple years to your age.  
    I learned something. I had known I was X (born 1974) and just thought I knew my younger brother (1978) and sister (1979) were Gen Y and my daughter the Millennial (1994).  
    So myself and both my siblings are all Gen X.  :)
