    True about the astrology part. Also, I’m Dutch, and some of our sociologists have a different take on our generations. They usually have the boomers born between 40-55, gen-x between 55-70, the “pragmatic generation” or “fries generation” between 70-early eighties and then the millenials. The pragmatic generation would probably overlap with your Xennials.

      It’s a close match. It seems to get messier as the generations get younger. Xennials in the US were a very narrow window that mirrored the entry into the computer age. Of course the easier route many take is to just call someone older a Boomer and younger a millennial, ignoring the fact that millennials are reaching midlife now.
