People not 32-37 dont understand that we grew up in a tweener time slot. Not quite 80s but no where near the people this board calls millinials

I feel like being born in 1990 I'm the last year or so that doesn't really fit the current "millennial" definition. I still remember dial up and cell phones the could barely text where the best game was Snake.

I feel like you need to get to being born in about 1995 or later to get closer to the kids who've had a tablet since they could walk.

1977 - 1983 are the in between years. Too young for gen x and too old for millennial

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.




You should read the rest of the wiki and see how few groups use a date after 1997.

The majority of researchers and demographers start the generation in the early 1980s, with many ending the generation in the mid-1990s. Australia's McCrindle Research regards 1980–1994 as Generation Y birth years. A 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers report and Edelman Berland use 1980–1995. Gallup Inc., Eventbrite and Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research all use 1980–1996. Ernst and Young uses 1981–1996. Manpower Group uses 1982–1996.

that’s a good definition. I’m 91’ here, feel like I grew up in the perfect mesh of not having a desktop computer until I was 9 or 10, and then 56k dial up at that didn’t get a cell phone until my freshman year when I started driving etc etc

Baw, 1990 and fricking 1991 is right in the god damn middle of the millennial generation. You have no other generation to claim.

And 1995 and later like he mentioned is a completely different generation. It’s gen z

Or people can identify themselves as individuals and not worry about what year a person was born in or labels society has placed on them.

Just my 350 cents.

I’m not arguing out of the millenial generation, I give zero fricks about labeling generations. I simply described what I appreciated growing up in the era that I did



you guys care way too much about this

Not trying to claim another generation.

Just stating that when someone uses the term millennial, that's much more driven to the folks in college or just out of college now. I didn't grow up with 100mbs internet or expect anything to be handed to me. I put myself through college and paid off my own loans.

1978...I'm apparently technically now considered a Xennial

quote:

Xennial is a term being used to describe people born between 1977 and 1983. The micro generation is a mix between the “pessimistic gen-X” and “optimistic millennial,”


quote:

“We hit this social media and IT digital technology boom in our 20s,” he said in the article. “It was a particularly unique experience. You have a childhood, youth and adolescence free of having to worry about social media posts and mobile phones.”




Xennials experienced an analogue childhood and a digital adulthood

Either way...I was a child in the greatest decade to be a child...the 80s

No, I’m just saying Brett was making the same bad comparison as this article. Comparing millennials to kids born after 1995 is comparing 2 different generations.

Those are gen z. Anyone calling those millennials is in the minority and is dumb.
