I personally don't like the 1977-1983 range; it's pretentious and I think I myself born in December '84 am still an Xennial. I was five at the end of the '80s when the Sega Genesis came out and grew up with my older brother born in 1981 who even had an NES, although I was still only 11/12 when the N64 came out and relate with second half '90s kid entertainment, but I started my freshman year at Robert E. Lee High School in 1999, the one in Jacksonville, FL. I personally feel xennials should be stretched out to 1975-1985.

That’s a whole decade, you may as well create a new generation. Even the Gen Z and Millennial cusp isn’t that long

well us poorer southern folk didnt grow up with all the newest gadgets in the late 90s/early 00s so I can easily say southen xennials stretch out to 1987 even

here are the generations yers

boomers 1943-1959
gen x 1960-1976
xennials 1977-1987
millennials 1988-1998
gen z 1999 and after son

I don't know about all of these generations but Boomers stretch into the 1960's (to 1964 I believe), after which Gen X starts.  Late 50's/early 60's born are "Late Boomers"; I myself am one.

1960-1965 = Baby Busters (Boomer/X Cusp)

1978-1983 = Xennials (X/Y Cusp)

1996-2001 = Zillennials (Y/Z Cusp)

Cusps should only be six years max in length, since they're meant to be a transition.

redo;

Baby Boomers = 1946-1965
Gen X = 1966-1985
Gen Y = 1986-2005
Gen Z = 2006-2025

By some definitions I've seen it is stretched to 1985, the transition from one generation to another is usually blurry.

I'm a '85 born and I've always felt more connection with Gen x type culture probably because in my formative/teenage years Gen x was still producing most of pop culture. I'm sure it's the same with early wave Gen xers having more connection with the '60s/'70s Boomer culture.
