re: FYI Alot of millennials are middle-aged 40+ year olds

I think there needs to be a distinction between Gen Y and Millennials. Not sure why that never caught on as there is a noticeable difference between people born on opposite ends of the spectrum. If you were born in the 80s you are Gen Y. If you were born in the 90s you are a Millennial.

Nah. Stop being such a cry baby and own your generation.

There's a weird Millenial grey area - so have 82 or 83 as the cutoff, others 80 or 81.

'82 Here.

I agree, I'm 43 born in 81' i am not a Millennial. I think 85 should be the cut off. Me and my younger sister (84) were raised and act completely different then my baby sister (92).

If the hard nose parenting was supposed to have ended in 80 no one told my parents.

not taking accountability and trying to be something you aren't

both classic Millennial behavior. Put down the $14 Starbucks and get to work, millennial

All these generational posts have me thinking about the drinking age (smoking and gambling, too).

I'm long past when they were enacted, but I've always thought they were bullshite.

You're either an adult at 18 or everything should be 21. You can buy and sell property, own a business, vote, be drafted, be a billionaire etc., etc., but can't even drink a Miller lite legally.

There should be no such thing as a "semi-adult," which is the system in place now.

When the Louisiana Supreme Court first heard the new drinking age challenge, they correctly ruled it unconstitutional.

Then, the panic buttons were lit as the Feds threatened to pull Highway funds from any state not enacting 21-year-old drinking laws. So, on rehearing, the court suddenly found the age disparity "constitutional."


And if nothing else, it encourages 18 -21-year-olds to binge drink to black out ( or worse) drunkenness.

It was the beginning of the nanny state in full force.

Should be 18 to drink, smoke and join the military. 25 to vote.

How do you fig sticks not understand, the millennial name comes from kids "coming of age" around the millennium. So kids that are 10 in 2000 IMO are not millennials. So the millennial cut off should be 1986 not 1996.

Being tech took a giant leap in the 90s there are kids that grew up pree internet and matured with internet. Those should be millennials.

I also find it funny when millennials trash their own generation.

The oldest turn 44 this year.

But these generational classes are all from Madison Avenue ad agencies. The only census designated generation is boomers.

Millenials are upstanding bulwarks of the community compared to Zoomers.

We're going to save humanity while the boomers yell at clouds and gen X does whatever the hell they've been doing the last 50 years.

i still think we can squeeze a few more boomer presidents in
