Well done! Born in 1983, I’ve never really identified with a generation. Now I know, I’m Gen X.5.

Sportswriter turned marketing leader. Writer/builder/thinker. I talk brand journalism as marketing, ghostwriting, podcasting, fatherhood & more.
I'm from 1983 as well, and I think of myself as an "elder millenial." I also like the term "Oregon Trail generation."

Apparently the term is "Xennial", which is anyone born between '77 and '84.....

Agreed with Kieran and Darcy. I'm a "Xennial," as well. We are a narrow subgroup consisting of a combination of younger Xers and older Millennials.There is always a "cusp generation" existing in-between any two broader generations.
