Suggested Names for Those Who Are Not a Millennial but Not Quite Gen X

What Do You Call the People Who Are in Gen X/Millennial Label Limbo? This graphic up there puts my age group squarely in Millennial, but there are a lot who put me as a young Gen-Xer.
I don't feel like I fully belong in either! There've been some fun-to-read pieces on this "microgeneration" who sit on the cusp of either Gen X or Millennial, and interesting monikers for us, too.

The Mueller Report: The Movie - Notes Ahead of Congressional Testimony by Robert Mueller, Wednesday, July 2019

The Occasional Organization Post: Using Marie Kondo's Method of Tidying and Organizing at Work As many of us have learned from reading "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" or from watching Marie Kondo's "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" on Netflix, the magic of her method is in its underlying philosophy and guiding principles: it's about "keeping what you love" and surrounding yourself with items that "spark joy."
So how on earth could one possibly use the KonMari Method to tidy up their office?! What "sparks joy" in paperwork? How can you "love" your Inbox?
That's a question I set out to answer for myself this summer, when I decided to embark on a project of KonMari-ing my workspace.
My Previous KonMari Tidying Up Experience
A year and a half ago I moved from Massachusetts to Rhode Island. Though they are little states, and Boston and Providence are not far from each other, packing for me was a BIG project. I…
