Can't copy past any text, but also saw this related bit...



edit: Apparently "Xennials" is also a name of those of us born late 70s to early 80s; us babies at the tail end of Gen X or the senior members of Millennials that don't 100% relate to the rest of our designated group.

I’m part of the Xennials. I finally fit in someplace!

I remember playing Oregon trail, house phones and Napster.
