[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never know what generation I am. Born in '80 and have been told I'm most definitely Gen X, most definitely millennial, and most definitely neither one (Xennial/Oregon Trail/Catalano). The most common names in my class were Jessica, Allison, and every possible form and spelling of Katherine/Katie/Kate.  My babysitter (definitely Gen X) was named April, and I loved her name as a kid.[/quote]

I was also born in '80 and what I've found is that Gen Xers are VERY attached to the idea of having been born in the 70s or late 60s. Like it's really important to them. So as a result, even though my husband and most of my friends were born in the 70s and consider them Gen X, I am randomly a "Millenial".

One definition I've heard is that if you were Gen X, the earliest you would have had an email account was college. I got a hotmail account my senior year of college (to communicate with my friends who were at college and had just gotten college accounts!). So by that metric, I'm a Millenial but only barely.

Oh, and my name is Emily, so there you go.[/quote]

I meant I got my hotmail account senior year of HS.[/quote]
