You are the first person I've seen that's upset that they aren't a millennial

I grew up with Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd n Eddy, pre-movie SpongeBob, Teen Titans, and Homestar Runner: all Millennial cartoons.

The folks using/overusing "millennial" incorrectly are the same folks using/overusing "SJW" incorrectly.
This is not a coincidence.

1995 is almost universally considered millenial, not gen z.

Just spent the afternoon yesterday with an HR-type consultant at a corp event (which required my attendance as a manager). She billed herself as a "Generationalist". The timeline you displayed was exactly the timeline she had.
She talked for a while about all the differences (strength's/weaknesses) of each and then we had group exercises. She was very entertaining (a Drama grad from Loyola) and what I learned was fairly interesting and useful as I work with lots of Millennials. After about 30 mins of the exercises, however, I'd had enough and acted like I had a call and took off.
I absolutely get there were influences/events/technology differences that shape similarly-aged people in some of the same ways. But how much should we all cowtow to that? It goes both ways. Just so happens the Boomers and Gen X'rs have all the positions of authority.

It's probably harder for those of us who millennials and are in a position of power over boomers/gen x'ers, than the opposite.

Did you laugh at her.
I think generation ranges are too large. I am closer in age to just as many millennials as gen xers.

Millennials, also known as Generation Y (or simply Gen Y), are the demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with 1981 to 1996 a widely accepted definition.
Okay, widely accepted, is that better?

I never said mid-80s babies were born in the 90s. Mid-80s babies had their main childhood in the 90s. I consider the 90s kid culture to be the 1991/92-1997/98 school years, which would encompass the entirety of the Golden Age of Nickelodeon, almost the entirety of the Disney Afternoon and Golden Age FOX Kids, the SNES-Genesis rivalry and the dawn of the N64/PS1 era, and the reign of Amiga, MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95.
Late 1998 and 1999 are numerically considered part of the 90s, but there was a noticeable shift mid-1998. The Bulls broke up, Windows 98 came out and the internet exploded in popularity, the SNES and Genesis faded away and the N64/PS1 were in full swing, the anime boom started with Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon (With the latter becoming arguably the biggest kid fad ever between the games, anime, and trading cards), and The Powerpuff Girls premiered, which was Cartoon Network's champion hit that really made them a true competitor to Nickelodeon.

So she's not a stereotype? Still doesn't mean she's not a millenial.

So like 75% of this board and 100% of PT?
