That’s true, same for the Gen who came right after millennials, the Xennial Gen or whatever TF my generation is called. There was a tiny window for my Gen to get life squared away before the economy went to shit and housing prices skyrocketed, and I’m guessing only about 20% of Xennials got it done successfully, so everyone else in my Gen and those who came after are in a very bad situation, and they all know it.
Xennials (the "Oregon Trail Generation") are the transition from Gen X to Millennial.
Zennials are the transition from Millennial to Gen Z.
And yeah, they're pronounced the same way, which is why I prefer Oregon Trail Generation for the former. I don't know if Zennial also has a cutesy nickname to avoid this ambiguity.
My Gen isn’t Z. I know for a while they wanted to include my generation with the millennial Gen, but the people born between 1977 to 1985 had a unique upbringing, so they came up with the term “Xennial” and called my generation a micro-generation, because it didn’t really fit in with Generation X or the millennials or Gen Z. We experienced two worlds in our formative years, one world where everything was wholesome America before tech took over, where our adolescent years were spent outside playing, fighting and being very active, life wasn’t childproofed yet so one of us might catch a lawn dart in the head on occasion, then we hit the workforce busting our asses, and from about 18 to 30 years old we watched internet and smart tech become a major part of daily life. The “millennials” and Gen Z spent their formative years buried in technology, and Gen X experienced life mainly like their boomer parents did with the same opportunities, whereas my Gen experienced life in both worlds with very limited economic opportunity in our future unless we did everything right.
Yeah Gen Y is millennial, and Gen X spanned a very long period, 1965 to 1980, so there’s some overlap in what they ended up calling a Xennial. Personally I don’t think you can be considered Gen X unless you were a part of the last successful generation who still had a great economy to jump into right out of high school, up until your early 30’s, they had a nice easy shot at getting established with a house and a high wage job before the economy was gutted, and before the anti-White policies really took hold.

You're called a Zoomer, and we're all kinda fucked in the same boat, in the same way.

Okay, my mistake. Yeah, I actually consider that 1980-85 crowd to still be Gen X, but I get Xennial.
85-90 at the same time is what used to be known as Gen Y so there is a term for it.
Yeah Gen Y is millennial, and Gen X spanned a very long period, 1965 to 1980, so there’s some overlap in what they ended up calling a Xennial.
