First Impressions
AI-WrittenThe name reads as definitively Generation X, carrying the casual brightness of the early 1970s. It suggests someone who grew up riding bicycles without helmets and knows how to record a radio broadcast onto a blank tape. Today, it belongs almost entirely to women in their early fifties who have no patience for needlessly complicated coffee orders.
