Xennial is the new term for the microgeneration of people born between 1977 and 1983.
For many of us "older millenials", we have always resented the term. It has become synonymous with being entitled, apathetic, and self absorbed. Many Baby Boomers see them as a blight on the nation, which has sparked some pretty funny memes. As an older millennial I always resented being lumped in with this group. You see, we came of age before social media and iphones, we were raised in an analog world, and dropped into a digital universe. We are xennials.

A terrible word used by early Millenials (born circa early 1980s) to disassociate themselves from those other younger millenials and to tell their Boomer parents and Gen-Xer elder siblings that they aren't like those other young people, they're not cringe, or whatever it is young people use today, they remember what it was like when VCR was king and TVs were made out of cathode tubes and there was no Internet.

Fallen out of disuse when those so-called Xennials realized that it doesn't matter how not-cringe you are, they're still gonna kill you with wage theft, student debt, and all the other tools of generational class war at their disposal.
Unlike those other Millenials, I am a Xennial, and I know what it is like to live without smartphones glued to my face every day.

No one cares, Kathy, we're all getting murdered with student debt, just lift your picket sign higher and shout louder.

Xennial is a made up term by early millennials who wish they were GenX but cannot officially claim to be GenX.
I'm now a Xennial instead of a Millennial because I was born in 1983 but don't identify with my generation.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
