There's a known thing about microgeneration at the beginning/end of generations which share traits from both the generation before and the generation after. They are known collectively as 'cuspers' but each micro generation also has it's own name: Gen Jones (between Boomers and Gen X), Xennials (between Gen X and Millennials), Zillennials (between Millennials and Gen Z) and Zalphas (between Gen Z and Gen Alpha).
You can be born on a cusp but not have the characteristics of a cusper though - people who match the characteristics of their micro generation tend to be early adopters of technology and embraced change earlier than their peers.
Gen Jones - this is quite a broad age range, particularly because the end of the boomer period is fairly disputed and not as defined as later generation. I believe it's related to the assassination of JFK though, with the cuspers being those who were too young to remember the assassination when it happened.
Characteristics
These cuspers were not as financially successful as older Baby Boomers. They experienced a recession like many Generation Xers but had a much more difficult time finding jobs than Generation X did. While they learned to be IT-savvy, they did not have computers until after high school but were some of the first to purchase them for their homes. They were among some of the first to take an interest in video games. They get along well with Baby Boomers, but share different values. While they are comfortable in office environments, they are more relaxed at home. They are less interested in advancing their careers than Baby Boomers and more interested in quality of life.
Xennials - this is much more narrow in years than Gen Jones. This is largely related to the update of digital over analogue technology.
Researchers point out that these cuspers have both the healthy skepticism of Generation X and the optimism of Millennials. They are likely to challenge authority, but also are more career-focused than Generation X. While not all of these cuspers are digital natives, they are very comfortable with technology.
DH and I fall very firmly into this band. We both were socialising online very early - we have friends both sides of the divide but find that our friends from each side tend to socialise primarily within their own generation and find it hard to relate to the experiences of the other. This apparently pretty much a feature of being a cusper who are known for almost acting as communicators between the generations who don't understand each other well.
It makes a lot of sense because it's all about shared experiences.
