I’m with you boss. On top of that, my younger brother was born in ‘89 and does all the typical millennial BS that I don’t do.

I'm a millennial and derive great satisfaction from saying "fricking millenials."

So yes?

Part of the problem is millennial is entirely too broad of a term.

Some places define it as people who came of age near 2000, others whose who were born around then.


Regardless of the year, there was a massive quantum shift in culture in that period, especially in the formative years of the tail end.

I think if you are the oldest child and not born until 83, you are definitely a millennial. But if you are the youngest sibling of a bunch of genxers and weren’t born til 83 you can still claim genx.

Ultimately, if people had a cell phone phones in your high school, you are a millennial.

You know all these college aged snowflakes that are begging for safe spaces and are constantly #triggered?

That's what GenX parenting has given us.

The Gen X national geographic documentary had the years at 1961-1981 so according to them X. Some others have slightly different years

I thought this said Old Milwaukee was trying to distance itself from millennials.

“Millennials” that were in HS or older for 9/11 should, generally speaking, be another group.

So ~1987 or older. We all remember a time without internet in our home and it was dial up if we did have it. Cell phones were shared by the family, etc.

No they don't. It's pretty much universally accepted that the end of the millennial generation was born no later than 1997, and many place the end as early as 1995.

One of the best identifiers for the transition period (not even joking) is if they identify more with Pokemon gen 1-3 (Millennial) or 4-6 (gen Z).

Millennials are the first generation to ever study themselves obsessively. Like looking at their a-hole in the mirror and asking where does anus end and buttcheek begin.

You are playing a real nit picky semantics game if you don’t regard 1997 as near 2000

And just because you say so, doesn’t make it true:

quote:

Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the generational demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.
