That being said, the birth years from 1978-1984 seem to comprise a fuzzy cohort with an even more unique shared experience; some have dubbed this "generation Catalano," "the Oregon Trail generation," or even "Xennnials." We each may personally find our experiences here closer to Gen X or Y, but this millennial cusp coinciding with the advent of the Internet has certainly yielded something interesting.
