I'm near the start of the millennial generation, my older brothers are Gen x and more in-between than I am. There's about 5-6 years between all of us and we represent two generations in varying degrees.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials

Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts.

Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983,[1] though some extend this further in either direction.[2][3] Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood. Xennials are almost exclusively the children of baby boomers and came of age during a rapidly changing period that was the 1990s.

I've heard it referred to as the Oregon Trail generation.

Yeah, pretty much all of us fit in that range.

I easily fit in more with millennials than my brothers do. My oldest brother acts a lot more like Gen x than the rest of us.

Gen X: Whatever.

TBH I blame Gen X the most. Boomers are going extinct soon, Gen X at the oldest are about 60 or more.

This fucked up world is Gen X's world.

Ehh. They mostly rode the coattails of the boomers. I dunno if I can reasonably get angry at them for taking advantage of the opportunity that the boomers made for them to prosper.

It's the boomers that own, and frequently still run the companies that are ruining the economy. That's for fucking sure. Gen x just got a free ride.

Of all the people I know, the Gen x are the most likely to just be coasting through life because they were downright given all the opportunities and never really struggled for much.
