I was born in 80. Growing up we were always Gen x, now we’re fricking millennials?
I was born in 83 and at no point was I ever "Gen X". Gen X types were those who were in college or early adulthood in the 90s, when I was in middle school or early high school. Like Reality Bites.
Late 70s to mid-80s are a transitional group now called x-ennials, last I heard, and I accept that. Basically those who got through high school when internet was sparse and normies rejected online social platforms (proto-social media). So we got to live both lives pre and post internet.

I don't know what I've ever seen '83 kids referred to as Gen X. You're definitely a millenial or x-ennial.
I had to use dial-up internet in the dorms at LSU and scheduled classes on REGGIE, you probably never had that experience.
ETA: There's also a big difference between early Gen X people born in the late 60s/early 70s and the late Gen X people born in the late 70s/1980-81. Late Gen X probably has more in common with the early millenials than they do with the early Gen X.

And carried cardboard to grade school to break dance fight to the soundtrack of Beat Street.
Basically...
If you think 1984 is the greatest year in movies and if you looked up to St. Elmo's Fire as the cool adults...you're Gen-X.
And then the 80's ended abruptly and adolescence and the 90s hit with a massive culture shift in music and movies and reality did bite.

My brother was born in 82. When he was in elementary school, kids his age were all about the New Kids On The Block. In high school, it was Limp Bizkit.
That's not even in the Gen X universe.
