Generation X (often shortened to Gen X) is the demographic cohort following the Baby Boomers and preceding Millennials.Researchers and popular media often use the mid-1960s as its starting birth years and the late 1970s as its ending birth years, with the generation generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980.
Xennials is a portmanteau blending the words Generation X and Millennials to describe a "micro-generation" [5] [6] or "cross-over generation" [7] of people whose birth years are between the mid-late 1970s and the early-mid 1980s.
Most importantly, Generation X entered the workforce at a time when technology had not yet made possible the notion of being ‘on call’ 24/7 (sorry, millennials).
Now, Gen X can expect at least four more years before they see one of their own leading the country. (For argument’s sake, former President Barack Obama, born 1961, is not a member of Gen X.)
Generation X were born between 1965 and 1979 and are aged between 46 and 60 years old. Officially named “Generation Beta,” the babies born beginning in 2025 will mark the start of a new cohort .
