I remember reading an article that there is a sub generation in between Gen X and Millennial (1980-1985).

quote:

Anna Garvey has described these individuals as having "both a healthy portion of Gen X grunge cynicism, and a dash of the unbridled optimism of Millennials"

Unbridled optimism? Their religion is pessimism and angst.

But I agree 1980-1985 or so should either be Gen X or something different. You can't compare kids who went through significant portions of adolescence without the internet to people who never knew life before it.

This is true, mostly because Millenials were the first generation to be really disrupted by something that so quickly and efficiently changed the modern world, that there is a definite schism.
