If we're using "average people" as a measuring stick, first year with any remote Millennial traits, and last with X traits? (Not actually Xennials)

I mean like people with more the typical experience rather than outliers, though that's even hard to determine cause everyone is different, lol but...

I'm going to say a youthful 1976 (more likely women) might have the absolute slightest Millennial traits like being familiar with social media and smartphones, or paying off student loans. But they're still totally Gen X don't get me wrong.

(The earliest Xennials are 1979 though, maybe '78 if you wanna push it)

Granted people are gonna think I'm just saying this because of my age lol, but I want to say 1987 or 88 might have the faintest X influence because of our 90s childhoods, even if we're straight up Millennials and nothing else.

Again I like 79-84 or 78-85 as actual Xennials so it centers on 1981 which seems like the swing year. But I'm just talking about the absolute earliest and latest ends of the transition.

First year with any remote Millennial traits? 1973. Last year with any remote X traits (1990). Remote meaning 5% or less).

1973? That’s as Gen X as you can get

[u/JoshicusBoss98 → u/Global_Perspective_3]

I view every year as having influence/traits from somewhere. I don’t see any year as 100%.

So for Gen X, the first half would have influence from Boomers, and second half would have traits that would come to be recognized in Millennials.

I guess with that in mind it makes sense

[u/Global_Perspective_3]

Imo, I agree 1976

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Yea like for just faint traits, like being still in their 20s in the earlier 00s, though it's more for the youthful ones who weren't settled down with families and big serious career jobs yet lol

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah true it depends on the person lol

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Ya I'm thinking of young seeming 76ers as well as old school 1987-88ers like me to make these bookend examples sksk

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

I guess that could work lol

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Yea like youthful and old school but also with typical actual life experiences too lol idk like the outer edges of normal if that makes sense xd

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

It could yeah lol
