At a guess, it’s a round-about way of calling you “grandpa” or “grandma” only problem for them is the older (millenial+) gamers ran with it.
36 over here, but i didn’t join till TBC.
10 years behind you. So I guess I’m technically a Gen X, but I’m not far from the transition point into the realm of the Millennial demo.
So I guess I’ll happily claim this one:
I turned 40 yesterday. LOL
44 this week!
I have a feeling the average age on Classic will be higher than on retail.

Wait another month, then a different study will peg millenials as being 1985 to about 2001. Or some other arbitrary number.
I’m sure I’m not the only who has seen the “millenial” cutoff bounce between 1980 and 1985 constantly for the past 20-some years.

55 here. I’ve been a filthy casual since mid way through Vanilla. I am very much looking forward to a viable community and real relationships with my guildies and peers, and expect this to fuel much Classic fun.

I’m 50. I started Vanilla when I was about 35. I played on a crappy eMac. But I never had so much fun playing a video game and I can’t wait to get started on Classic.

Indeed I started out in middle school. 8th grade to be exact. I was 13 at the time of release (turned 14 in Feb 05) and never looked back. WoW was a big part of my high school years as well. Who am I kidding, it was also a part of my college years. I’ve slowed down a bit since starting my career, but that is also due a mixture of things (getting married, having a kid, work, and retail just being lackluster), but I am reeady for Classic!
Incorrect. Generation X thread.

3 years for me 
These things take time, and depends on the literature you’re looking at.
Xennial probably is never going to go away because it is a valid distinction, it just happens to be a “fine detail” one that many popular media geared sources will ignore.
I’m 39 (for a few more weeks) and I do not have grey hair.

To be fair, we call people under 35 “millienial children”
