Is someone born in 1977 generation X or Y?

An individual born in 1977 can be classified in a way that overlaps between Generation X and the micro-generation known as Xennials.

Generation X

The general consensus among researchers and media is that Generation X includes people born between 1965 and 1980. Therefore, someone born in 1977 would technically fall within the Generation X age range135.

Xennials

However, the term "Xennials" refers to a micro-generation of people born between the late 1970s and early 1980s, typically between 1977 and 1983. Xennials are characterized by having an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood, and they share characteristics of both Generation X and Millennials24.

So, while a person born in 1977 is technically a member of Generation X, they can also be considered a Xennial due to the transitional nature of their birth year and the cultural influences they experienced.
