    The cutoff between GenX and Millennial is usually given as 1980, which means there are some 46-year-old GenXers. Sometimes 1978-1982 is described as a “microgeneration” called “Xennials,” so if you’re making that distinction, you’d still have 49-year-old Xers from 1977.

        This just shows how dumb the idea of “generations” is. Someone who’s 51 will have a lot in common with someone who’s 49, even if they’re in a different “generation”. Someone who’s 30 won’t have much in common with either of them, even if they’re the same “generation”.
