early millennials

Personally I prefer Elder Millennial. Makes it sound more dignified and you can never go wrong with an Iliza Schlesinger reference (she coined the term and named a brilliant stand up special after it) ๐Ÿ˜

Oregon Trail generation captures it perfectly, but it never really caught on.

The "Oregon Trail generation" is generally known as the Xennials which is people born from 77-83, so it's not just Elder Millenials. I'm in this group and think Oregon Trail generation is a cooler name, but that's probably because I played a shitload of Oregon Trail.
