Once I heard us referred to as The Oregon Trail Generation, it has stuck with me. It’s the perfect descriptor for people born somewhere close to 1980. We were the ones to have an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.

Born in 1984 and I often use the phrase "one leg in the analog, one in the digital". Mostly because I had to learn the Dewey Decimal system.

80-84 is Oregon Trail last I heard but I haven't done demographics in a while
