According to that illustration, millennials turn 40 next year. Yea okay.
In case you haven't noticed, we're about 20 years into this millennium. People who are turning 40 now would have become adults at the turn of the millennium.

In my real world work experience from 1999-2012 or so we were the "I just work for a paycheck..." generation for lacking loyalty to companies and pride in our work. But now we're old and responsible.
That's around the time I finished LSU and started working too. I'm older and responsible now but I definitely still work for a paycheck. I know this because if I didn't have to work I wouldn't

If your first videogame console was an Atari...you are not a millennial.

What if you're a millenial who's really into retro shite?
The first video game console my family got was the Mattel Intellivision.

I threw many an Atari controller at the TV over Pitfall and missle command. Cheatin MFers.
But that Atari was my brother's really.
Now the first system that was for me personally was the Atari 5200. And the same thing went for Pitfall II and Hero. Cheatin MFers.

I remember reading an article that there is a sub generation in between Gen X and Millennial (1980-1985).

Anna Garvey has described these individuals as having "both a healthy portion of Gen X grunge cynicism, and a dash of the unbridled optimism of Millennials"
This is true, mostly because Millenials were the first generation to be really disrupted by something that so quickly and efficiently changed the modern world, that there is a definite schism.

Baby Boomer, Gen X, and Gen Z seem to be pretty set in stone as far as when they begin and end. However, no one seems to have a set beginning for the Millennial generation. I've seen graphs where the generation starts in 1980, 1983, and 1985. I've also seen one or two where the generation starts in 1979. It's freaking insane how no one born in the 80s wants to be associated with Millennials.
It literally changed the world.
Kids that grew up before and after this had 2 different childhoods.....
The internet. That's why there is such a distinction between early millinials and later ones. They grew up with 2 different childhoods.

To me Millennials are people who do not remember a life before technology. They grew up not knowing a world without computers and were still pretty young when cell phones became common.

And, 44-64 boomers gave birth to boomers? What a stupid idea.
Yeah, I'm not sure what post-war baby boom people think was happening in 1964. Have always thought that was a retarded definition. I'm willing to share Gen X with someone born in the early 1960s.

There's a huge gap in tech that those born in 84 had versus someone in say, 88. The difference in those that never spent teenage years without a cellphone do not relate socially to those that had to actually use things like lan lines, pagers, payphones, etc.
I was born in '87, didn't have my own cell phone (a flip phone) until I was well into my 18th year on this planet, and used land lines and pay phones on countless occasions. The only thing I never used in that list was a pager because, let's face it, what does a kid need with one?

Baby Boomers are mostly the children of the World War II generation. By and large, they stopped having children by the mid-60s. My mother was the youngest child of a World War II vet and she was born in '61.

Millennial, as most people use it, isn't an age as much a state of mind and act.

Plenty of millennials are children of baby boomers too.

So what? "Baby Boomer" merely describes the newborn population boom in the aftermath of WWII. Our boys came home and screwed like rabbits because they were all so relieved to be alive. Generation X are the children of those first Baby Boomers while the early Millennials were children of the first of the Gen X'ers/last of the Baby Boomers.

They sure seem to think so in their online bitching, but I'd be willing to bet a lot of those parents are actually Gen X (and a lot less out-of-touch than their children like to imagine).
Easier to discount your parents when you pretend they listened to The Lettermen in high school instead of Metallica, I guess.

Wrong. There is a hybrid between gen X and millennial called Xennial.
Those with values of Gen X but a little bit more tech savvy.
80-85 roughly
