[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Xennial here (1980), or Oregon Trail microgeneration (I've heard this discussed as 1978-1982). I think I'm closer to the Millennials than Gen-X. Too young to really experience the 80s and came of age in the 90s. I'd consider myself an older Millennial rather than Gen-X since I never really got the disaffected, slacker part of that generation.  The 90s were fun and optimistic overall.  Defining generational experiences were the internet as a teenager, Napster in college, 9/11 at 21 and back to back financial shocks (Dotcom crash and Great Recession).  I fortunately had a long enough start to my career so that it wasn't derailed at the outset like many later Millennials.[/quote]

1978 here and that’s my experience as well.  Along with what you noted, one major thing was the start of normalizing online communities and engagement. For me it started with ICQ, AIM, and chatrooms before progressing to GeoCities, message boards, LiveJournal, and MySpace.  I had an original clickwheel iPod and over 25000 songs from Napster.[/quote]
