As someone born in 1995 I still have no clue which generation I am in. People born in that year have been called both a Millennial and a Gen Zer so I am not too sure where I fit myself.

1981. And I could never identify myself to the millenial generation.



Born in 1980 so that would make me a Xennial although the word sounds terrible.



Signature goes here!

I'm over 300 years old. What generation does that put me?

You're born in the middle of the enlightenment generation.



Born in 1981. Seems I match the description. Lived the raise of personnal computing, teenaghood in a pre-Internet era.

I remember typing a whole essai on a computer (Atari 520 FTW), printed and added pictures (on photo paper from the photograph ^^) after a school trip when I was 12. I had a bad mark cause the teachers thought my father secretary had typed the whole thing.


However I hate those generation descriptions, it seems straight out of a HR meeting.

Born in 1983.

One thing I've noticed about most people born around the same time as me is that they seem to be a lot more cautious about technology and a lot more interested in examining the implications of it, moreso than Gen Xers (who often come across as wholly resistant to new technology) or millennials (who seem much more willing to jump on board without asking questions first). I'm massively generalising based on my own experience, of course.



I'm married to a xennial, gen-x myself. It's hard to live with our generational differences, erm, not really we're only 3 years apart.



Born 1979 so I'm a Xennial . I remember playing Harrier Attack on amstrad cpc 464 when I was 6 or 7 ah and dial up internet , god the sound it used to make haha



I was born towards the end of that very short time period (1982) but I'm never calling myself a xennial.



I've never heard of this term before or the concept of a micro generation. Admittedly the whole concept of generations make any sense. I'm a millennial, but an older one.
