What is the Line of Demarcation between Generation X / Millennials ?

In a 2012 article for the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, George Masnick wrote that the "Census counted 82.1 million" Gen Xers in the U.S. The Harvard Center uses 1965 to 1984 to define Gen X so that Boomers, Xers and Millennials "cover equal 20-year age spans".

Newsweek used the term Generation 9/11 to refer to young people who were between the ages of 10 and 20 years on 11 September 2001. The first reference to "Generation 9/11" was made in the cover story of the 12 November 2001 issue of Newsweek.

In May 2013, a Time magazine cover story identified Millennials as those born from 1980 or 1981 to 2000.

Early 80's

I am 79 and I don't really fit in with X or Millennial. Kinda mixture of both.
Way too late for the start of the millennials. It's early 80s.

I'd say X-ers ends in 81 or 82.
85, not even close.. Millennial POS

i was born in 83, and i think there is a major difference between myself and someone born in 87. They had cell phones all throughout high school, we had them, but werent texting much, usually borrowing the parents phones and stuff.
Basically i think the line is when high schoolers started using cell phones for everything, and in my estimation, thats people born in 87 or so.

1965-1977 is straight up X. 1978-1982 is the murky middle.
1983-1995? Millennial POS. Parents started going all Reagan Boom and thinking the world revolved around their kids.
My line of demarcation has always been November 3, 1982. A huge rise in the stock market that day. The Carter-era recession was declared over. And Michael Jackson released Thriller a couple weeks later, starting the era of celebrity worship that has led to Kardashians being famous.
But I am simply a Mississippi State and LSU-educated sociologist at a much less prestigious university than Harvard. The 1984 rule that Harvard uses has merit (They are basing it on the re-election of Reagan where he basically swept the electoral college). I personally think it goes back to November, '82 - that's when the process that led to the electoral sweep began in my opinion.
If you were born in the summer of '82, parents still remembered gas lines and the recession. That stock market jump in November basically erased the memory of new parents.

I think it's a gray line due to transition. I know people in the late 70's early 80's that act like millennials.

we were talking about this in church last week and we are a bunch of people ranging from 24-32.
Only one couple called themselves millennials and they weren't the youngest couple there by a bit. 24 year olds called them self gen x/y.
I say if you weren't in HS or older during 9/11 or cell phones were always around during HS, you're a millennial.

each successive generation is going to get smaller and smaller and smaller. 20 years is WAY too big

I'd say around 1981-82
WTF does a 34 year old have to do with someone that can't even get their driver's license?
