I'm the same. We've been described as a Micro-Generation between Gen X and Millenials (Xennials) where we're not quite fully a part of either.

We're the last generation who grew up in an analogue world before it went digital. We remember rotary phones, but got mobiles in our youth.

We had to use libraries, but probably had internet access before we hit University. We saw the death of vinyl, the rise and fall of CDs and the rebirth of vinyl.

Of course I do , I just don't see the value in creating another meme to bash them with. We've already got gammon.

They're different names for the same thing, but I'd argue Oregon Trail Generation is more American-centric as I don't remember ever seeing that over here. Granny's Garden would be a better equivalent.

All of this just makes me think that every sub grouping, no matter how small you make it (short of the individual) just wants to find some way that they are special and distinct from others.

As people born under the waxing moon of early harvest season in '82 we know that those filthy gibbous moon bastards will never understand us!

Those born in 1980 are the best. Most of us were made in the 70s but emerged into the glorious 80s before coming to adulthood in the EXTREME 90s.
