Born In The Late 70’s Or Early 80’s? Your Generation Finally Has A Name

Good news for those who were born in the late 70’s or early 80’s. You may have found yourself previously grouped with the Generation X’s or as a millennial. But as you probably already know, you are neither!

If you were born between the years 1977 and 1983, you are known as Generation Xennial. This is a mini-generation that is different than the two generations surrounding you. You may have always believed you didn’t belong in either of those groups and that’s because you don’t!

Usually, Xennials do not have the same amount of cynicism that the Gen X generation is known for, but they also do not have the amount of optimism that millennials are said to have. Millennials often oversell their potential. A Xennial falls right in the middle.

This is a pretty new classification, so there is still a lot of disagreement and debate concerning the characteristics of those who fall in this category.

Those who were born in this time period didn’t grow up with cell phones and internet at every corner. The millennials who came afterward did. Xennials are able to remember when both technologies emerged. However, unlike Gen X, Xennials did not have trouble adapting to these two new technologies.

The technology that came out grew along with them. While they were young enough to be able to adapt easily and understand the technology, they were also old enough to accept it and become used to it. They can still remember a time without technology, but they are just as proficient with it as millennials.

Xennials are able to find the good in the generations that surround them while leaving the bad behind. You may have felt like you didn’t belong to either generation if you were born between 1977 and 1983, and that’s because you’re really didn’t!

Xennials have some amazing character traits and now they are finally being acknowledged. If you are one, congratulations!
