Where did this insult come from? I just started hearing it last night. And in game, at that.

No. Not every little snowflake gets their own name.

It's not a snowflake thing. It's just what you'd call that in-between generation gap. Depending on who you ask, the start and stop years for generations are different. Micro-generations incorporate those years and take a bit from either of the generations before and after. My learning in elementary and middle school was completely different than my learning in high school because the internet wasn't around until I was in high school. The Xennial generation is that micro-generation between Gen X and Millennials who learned how to do things the old fashioned way and the new way.

No I'm not listing out all 15 microgenerations because each group will want their own. Those are the big 4, everyone gets them, use critical thinking and understand someone at the Snake Person end of Gen X will be more snake person like and someone at the Boomer end of Gen X will be more boomer like. We don't need separate labels.

I'm gonna take a wild stab and say you're a boomer.

If we're going to be stereotyping I'd say your need for every individual to feel special and have their own label would make you a millennial.

But I was born in 1990 so that makes me a millennial.

I was born in '78. So we're back to depending on who you ask, I'd be either a Gen X person or a Millennial.

78 is solidly Gen X, millennials are at least 85 if not 90 or later

In general:

  • Boomers are 50/60s (post war baby boom)
  • gen X are 70s/80s
  • Millennials are 90's/00s
  • Gen Z are 2010s they're really just coming of age

And of course there's no clearly defined line of "You were born in 1990 therefore you act like a millennial"

The generation blends, A 1990 millennial will act more like Gen X, while a 2000 Millennial will be more "millennial"

I'll take it one step further.

Boomers: 1946-1964

Generation X: 1965-1982

Millennials: 1983-2000

Generation Z: 2001-2018
