re: A person born in 1981 is a Millennial or Generation X?

I was born in 81. I identify as X but it's a weird spot. We were the laSt group of people to go to school without the Internet and remember the cold war. We came off age after 9/11. I think people born between 79 and 86 are a generation unto themselves. I've heard it called the Oregon Trail Generation

81 as well and exactly how I feel. Didn't have Internet access until I got to college, and a cell phone until Jr year at LSU. Extrapolate that with having parents born in 1940 and 45 and being very old fashioned. The people at work in their mid 20s definitely view me as closer to those at work in their 50s as opposed to them.
