Being an Xennial is like being everywhere and nowhere at the same time. This group of people are too young to be Gen X but feel too old to be millennials. They’re designated as a microgeneration, though they’re constantly lumped in with millennials, hence how they got the name “Xennial.” But it’s this distinct characteristic that has resulted in Xennials having the some of the most eclectic music tastes out there.
Nick Harrison posted a video on social media showing what it’s like to road trip with an Xennial and it’s an entire vibe. The man starts the video in the car off strong jamming to “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire. The music quickly changes to “The Next Episode” by Dr. Dre causing Harrison to switch up his dance moves.
It’s a cornucopia of songs that make up multiple generations of popular music, and as an Xennial, he’s grooving to them all, calling himself “polyjamorous.” He’s not alone either. The comments are full of people that knew every word, agreeing that road tripping with an Xennial is a unique experience that includes lots of seat dancing and fun.
“YESSS!!! I also love Doja Cat and Harry Styles. I’ve said Xennials have the most rich and diverse exposure and taste in music in all of history!! I stand on that! We are unlike any other gen,” someone says.
“And this is why my child has superior taste in music,” another writes.
“Xennial here. Literally all of these are in my main playlist. lol,” one person laughs at the realization.
“4010% correct. I’m pretty sure I have a playlist with every single one of these songs on it,” another person admits.
“These are all on my ‘road trip’ mix. Constantly updated and perpetually giving whiplash,” a commenter shares along with the universal sign for rock-and-roll.
The Xennials are living their best life through Harrison’s road trip playlist with many of them asking him to share his playlist so they can easily download it. Guaranteed most of the people watching his video had “Love Shack” by the B-52’s stuck in their heads for the rest of the day. Party on, Nick!
