An individual of the generation whose members were born between roughly 1977 and 1983. The name refers to the perception that such people were born between members of Generation X (people born in the 1960s and '70s) and millennials (people born in the 1980s and '90s). The proper pronunciation of the term is debated. Like a true xennial, the epitome of my childhood was playing The Oregon Trail on a floppy disk.
