    Nope, they’re not the same.

    Boomers = Late 40s to Mid 60s

    Gen X = Late 60s to Mid 80s

    Millenial = Late 80s to Mid 90s

    Gen Z = Late 90s to Mid 2000s/Early 2010s

      GenX stops at 79. Millennials start at 80.

      Xennial is basically a buffer between the two. Would be between 75-85.

      Thanks, I normally know that but got confused. Thanks for explaining and thanks to all those who downvoted my comment.

      So maybe xennial is an older millennial? Either way, I identify as a whyennial from now on.

      I think we can all agree that Gen X starts with the end of the boomers in 1965, and that the end of millennials is if you weren’t old enough to remember 9/11, so about 96-97.

      The only disagreement is where the dividing line is between the two. I suggest the line should be Reaganomics, so early 1980s.
