Xenillals is a pretty unnecessary overlapping designation.
The only new subset that makes sense happened one year before I was born, and ended one year after, separating Gen X and Y. It's called the 'Most Awesomest Generation', and you can tell who we are because the walls in a room will glow slightly brighter when we walk through a door.
