re: Those born in 1995-1997: do you associate childhood more with Millennials, or Gen Z?

And here we go, millennials declaring themselves not millennial Bc of how they feel. Everyone wants to get into the Gen x group.

I think there are some good reasons to that, though. The concept of generations exists to group people together by common cultural traits and behaviors of that group of people. I think the thing that defines millennials most is growing up with internet connections and cell phones. I was born in 1987 which technically makes me a millennial, but when I grew up we didn't have an internet connection or cell phones. We played outside and grew up much the same way Gen X did. Maybe it's because I was always around my sister is 10 years older than I am and is Gen X, but when I reflect back on my childhood I feel like I grew up like a Gen X kid and not a millennial. Or at least maybe somewhere in between.

I just think that culture is rapidly changing at such a fast pace that the concept of generations is becoming more and more obsolete.
