The image shows a tweet from Amanda Held Opelt ([@]AmandaHeldOpelt) with a dark background and white text. The tweet is addressed to the "Xennials," also known as the "Oregon Trail Generation," born between 1977 and 1985. It asks how becoming an adult during 9/11, hitting their professional stride during the 2008 financial crisis, and experiencing a global pandemic during their childbearing/raising years has impacted them. The tweet ends with a thinking face emoji and a grimacing face emoji.

Think of how you feel 30 years later, now with #livedexperience of being a #caregiver or #struggling to survive #disability. #Gettingold comes for all of us - if we're so lucky. #disabilityrights #millennial #robertseanleonard #noahwyle #xennials #collectivememory

I wish our parents' generation had been clearer when they made up Captain Planet that they intended for us to side against him and literally worship money instead.

A 'Goonies' sequel is in the works with Steven Spielberg producing.

@skeletor But the 80s and 90s were the best! #genx #millennials #xennials

#Y2K is pretty average stoner humor, but it accurately captures a time that #Millennials / #Xennials very much relate to.

“Millennials are not kids, they have kids. The eldest Millennials are now 43.”

"New Jill Swing" - appreciation for En Vogue, SWV, Tara Kemp, Ex Girlfriend, The Good Girls, Xscape et al. The music industry was less friendly to them than to Bobby Brown, Kid 'n Play, and Blackstreet.

I love the late '80s-early '90s era in R&B. So creative and fun, even while hip hop and movies were focusing on the (very real) issues of gangs, drugs, and incarceration.

If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because they had to replace their record collections with a tape collection that they had to replace with a CD collection that they had to replace with an MP, collection, and now they need a subscription to listen to music.

We've rebranded our #podcast. It's now called I'm So Not Over It - but it remains a comedy history podcast covering the mid-70s to the present day with interview episodes, mini episodes and more mentions of Richard Branson that you'd expect.

There's a 2min trail up now if you fancy a listen!

The podcast I co-present with comedian Esyllt Sears has been nominated in the Best Comedy category at the Independent Podcast Awards.

The #Xennial Dome is on a break ahead of a rebrand/relaunch in October, but there's 2 Best Ofs on the feed right now, if you fancy checking it out.

It's a history pod covering the mid-70s to the present day. You'll be surprised how much Richard Branson crops up.

The words "Finalist - 2024 Independent Podcast Awards" against a backdrop of stars, guitars, rubix cubes, musical notation and microphones.

We're knocking The #Xennial Dome podcast name on the head.

Something v similar will take its place (modern history, popes, Miss Worlds, Pete Waterman etc) but without a title which scares non #Xennials away or makes people think it's "some sort of sci-fi podcast" (actual feedback from a friend, b.1981, who I suspect was getting confused with Xanadu).

We'll be back with a new thing very shortly (on the same feed) but, in the gap, some Best Ofs...

"Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts. Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983 [... They] are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood."

That's such a good description — but I did have a computer in 1984...

#Today I was having a meal in the local pub garden with my dad, brother and niece when my niece says "This music they're playing is really old! It all sounds like its from around 2013".

Oooph, right in the xennials!

Screenshot of a social media post by a user called jayfunktastic:

I declare that us "Xennials" born between 77 and 83 be known as "Goonies."

‘Xennials: The Last Analog Generation’ is a fascinating podcast, using the 1990s as a lens on our world today - from Globalisation to online culture.

I joined host Charlotte Kan for the new episode - to talk Ecstasy, irony, subcultures, Beck, the Berlin Wall, & generational schisms.

XENNIALS Episode 5 - Generation X: Unsilencing a rebel generation

I was on the penultimate edition of The Now Show and, in honour of the fact the show launched alongside Google back in '98, I rattled through some archive clips of how the BBC covered the earliest days of the internet.

And yes, I'm in one of them...
