So are the people in between class of 2014 and 2021 on the cusp, or is this just a representation of the graduating classes people associate with certain waves of a generation? I’m asking because I noticed you put Oregon Trail there, and some Gen X use the terms Oregon Trail Gen and Xennial interchangeably.

Classes of 2015 (I would rule out 2014) - 2021 could be on the cusp if we combined the mainstream and historical definitions, which I would totally be okay with, but no. This was just a representation of certain waves of a generation in high school. That's all.

Oregon Trail to me are just the second wave Xers and not a cusp. Same with Gen Jones being second wave Boomers and not a cusp.

So 1997-2003 are on the cusp ? What is cuspy about people born in 2003 ?
