Consider adding pronunciation?

Given the etymology of 'gen X' ecks, are we to take this to portmanteau 'ex-ennial' or some meta pronunciation with a shh-ennial or zen-nial. X is so versatile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.160.191.7 (talk) 18:41, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I'm guessing the pronunciation is meant to be "zennial", with the "X" at the beginning pronounced as a "Z". 2600:1700:C960:2270:E49D:EBD4:2713:B1F9 (talk) 11:30, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the sentence in the first paragraph from "mid 70s to early 80s" into "late 70s to mid 80s"?

The information that's read on this article as well as sources cited state that the most common definition of a Xennial is almost always defined as 1977-1985. Since 1977 is the earliest starting range of a Xennial, wouldn't that be considered the late 70s? So from "mid 70s-early 80s" to "late 70s-mid 80s? I want to change it myself, but I wanted to ask permission first if someone disagrees with this. Maybe someone can edit it. 68.62.155.13 (talk) 21:23, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found another website that ends it in 1985. Wolf O'Donnel (talk) 00:46, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Missiontocode, discuss your changes here. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:35, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I went further back and copy-pasted the lead from that time. This version appears to have been stable for a year. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:36, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, there appears to be a discrepancy in the discussion about the Xennial year range ('77-'83). It is noteworthy that a significant number of publications support this range, which is more reflective of the majority perspective. While acknowledging the existence of varying opinions, it is crucial to recognize the prevailing consensus and the characterization of Xennials as a micro-generation on the cusp. The extension of the years, as currently presented, may be perceived as more subjective in nature.

Additionally, I would like to highlight the omission of valuable content related to Xennials:

The Xennial Career guide from Indeed.com (https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/xennials) provides practical insights and assistance specifically tailored to this demographic. Including such resources can enhance the overall usefulness of the Wikipedia page for readers interested in Xennials and their career development.

Furthermore, there is a missing reference to Xennials being among the first to experience computers in the classroom. The information is supported by a credible source from hackeducation.com (http://hackeducation.com/2015/02/25/kids-cant-wait-apple), and its inclusion would contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the unique characteristics and experiences of Xennials.
