Mid Gen-X here. The Gen-X sub on Reddit shows the clear difference between old Gen-X (1965 to ~1970) and everyone else. The running joke was that the dividing line was banana and BMX bike seats.
The cultural differences are huge between born in 1965 and 1975.
No. There’s a marked difference between Gen-X and millennial mainly due to life experiences. Maybe not elder millennials (xennials) but definitely the rest. I think if we moved the dates forward about five years for both Gen-X and millennials, the cultural differences would align more.
And what demographic would that be :)
Well, there are some early Gen Xers that are part of that demographic but to your point!

I would say Gen X doesn’t actually exist, except on paper, that they’re just a continuation of Boomer and Millennial, right where that split happened.

They really are. The differences between, say, 1975 and 1985-1990 are much less. I love the music of the 70s, 80s, 90s. I am 46.
