XENNIALS: Micro-Generation Born Between 1977-1983 Given New Name. I feel the same way. I’m technically a Boomer, but I was in first grade for the Summer of Love, never had a Davy Crockett hat, never had to worry about the draft, etc. Mostly I followed along after the core Boomers, trying not to trip over the trash they left behind. I think some people call my generation Tweeners, since we came between the real Boomers and Gen X.
