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.
