Date: February 12th, 2026 7:04 PM Author: Multi-colored field ### TL;DW: Psychology of Xennials (1976-1985)
This animated TikTok video from @thedarkfacts1 explores Xennials as a "micro-generation" caught between Gen X and Millennials. Born 1976-1985, they're often misclassified but have unique traits from experiencing the analog-to-digital shift during their formative years (teens to twenties), when brain plasticity for adaptation was still high.
#### Key Experiences and Traits: - **Analog Childhood**: Grew up with rotary phones, memorizing numbers, no DVR (missed TV shows were gone forever), passing physical notes, and making plans without texts—requiring trust and commitment. Boredom was endured, fostering self-reliance like Gen X (pre-helicopter parenting; parents didn't track you constantly). - **Digital Adulthood Shift**: Entered adulthood amid rapid tech changes—cell phones, social media (Friendster, MySpace, Facebook), and multiple messaging apps. Adapted easily due to young age but old enough to remember pre-internet life, unlike pure Millennials who never knew a world without it. - **Psychological Impacts**: - **Adaptability**: Can navigate both worlds, holding contradictions (independent yet cooperative, skeptical of tech like Gen X but optimistic like Millennials). Appreciate digital gains (connection, info) but mourn losses (true alone time, patience from waiting, undivided presence). - **Memory and Past**: Pre-social media, embarrassing moments faded naturally (no permanent online evidence), allowing memories to evolve fluidly—as human brains are wired to do. - **Economic Trauma**: Entered workforce around the 2008 crisis, leading to lasting effects on views of money, security, and risk. - **Overall Identity**: Feel like they "don't fit" anywhere—too young for Gen X nostalgia, too old for Millennial tech-native mindset. But this is their strength: they've mastered adaptation without losing themselves, a lesson for ongoing rapid changes.
The video emphasizes Xennials' value lies in living through a pivotal historical transition, teaching resilience in a fast-changing world. It's insightful for understanding generational nuances beyond broad labels. |

that's it. that's what makes them unique, the micro exclusivity. |
|
Date: February 12th, 2026 9:04 PM Author: Learning Disabled Principal's Office Deer Antler I think 77-83 is the best range, which makes it basically a half gen. No pre-Reagan memory/born into Morning in America, but also adults and out of the house in time for 9/11, which is a massive differentiator generationally. Too young to have been pwn3d in dotcom crash, which is a major defining moment for a lot of Gen X, but a 76 is 25 in 2001 and for sure could’ve been/known paper millionaires in 1999. Also the stuff in the video about the pace of tech change for 84s and younger all mostly starts for them before puberty so the post-xennial millennials are the first generation to go through puberty with internet porn.

Date: February 12th, 2026 9:33 PM Author: exciting spruce dopamine That’s too many years though. It should be a microscopic cohort if anything. ‘79 maybe through the years that some people lump in with Gen X. Klebold was born in ‘81. The point of even having a cohort is no 1980 bro was doing craft beer shit in 2011 or being Entitled, plus had the chance to ace OCI pre-ITE.

Date: February 18th, 2026 10:04 AM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; The main Covid argument is the Gen Z/Gen Alpha divide, although that necessarily raises the point of the Millennial/Gen Z cut off (which should be “were you 18 on Election Day 2016?”). The correct answer for the Gen Z range is born after Nov 8 1998 and before the 2015 birthday cutoff such that you attended zoom Kindergarten in the 20-21 school year. This also militates in favor of just pulling 1981 into Gen X and calling “millennials” the group that became adults in 2000 (which fits lots of other definitions around 9/11 and awareness in real time of Nirvana culture shift, LA riots in the context of west coast gangsta rap, etc.).

|
Date: February 19th, 2026 1:26 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; I strongly insist Gen X was/is undercounted by boomers to increase their relative cultural power and all their antics to define gens as 15/16 year ranges after their 19 year range is evidence of the same boomer bullshit. A generation is a group of people who are all simultaneously children, so it’s > 17 but no more than 18 years in range. I do think it’s fair they get an extra chunk of time because GIs weren’t all home from the war until end of 46, so my ranges are:
Boomers - 46 to 7/2/64 (date of Civil Rights Act signing) Gen X - 7/3/64-1981 (can fix this to school year such that 99 grads are Gen X and 00 are millennials, also prefer the literalism of whole Gen graduating high school as of 2000). Millennials 1982 (or 9/81 if using school cut off) - 1998 (11/8/98 ie old enough to vote in 2016). Gen Z rest of 98/99-2015 (school year cut off because of zoom KG). Alpha is too young to go to KG in fall 2020, and I expect some kind of AI milestone in 2032 and/or Election Day (eg POTUS AOC defeats JD Vance, begins total chaos communism regime) will determine cut off between them and whatever we decide to call the next gen. |

|
Date: February 18th, 2026 10:09 AM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; You’re conflating the argument about extending the Gen X cutoff imo. 81 is right cut off for all the reasons I gave above plus 81s were in college for the fall semester after Napster launched and experienced that in the much more intense late Gen X way because on top of the network effects being in college in 99 meant you were ~1Mx more likely to have high speed internet.
