Spinoff: Why can't we peg down the definition/timeframe of Millennial?

Why can't we peg down the "Millennial" definition? I am 34, and WORLDS away different (born in 1983) than someone who is 21 right now, hell even 24, that puts them born on 1997-2000
We have totally separate childhoods and teen years, hell I in high school WHEN THEY WERE BORN at the end of that spectrum.
Grouping people at the cutoff (1983) being the same generation gap as people born in 1997-2000 is blasphemous.
I've seen articles saying I'm late Gen-X, to Millennial, to an entire stopgap new generation (the nintendo generation) Why is this so difficult to agree on?

We did. It’s 1981 to about 1996. People saying otherwise are not in agreement with the majority opinion.
Although it should be late 80s early 90s to end. The term millennial means people who came of age in the turn of new millennium. They use 9/11 as a specific event that shaped the generation. Someone in 1992-1996 never really knew what was going on at age 5-7 on 9/11.

because old people are lazy and its easy to just label everyone younger than you as the same group

Because it's a (gender) fluid situation

If you took someone in a time machine from 1981 to 1996 they would think we were on another planet.

1977 - 1983 is now considered their own generation. It’s been labeled as “xillenial”.

Xennial. Lemme find the article.

I know, generations are stupid.

There used to be Gen Y. Then millenials were named because of the new millenia (2000).

I hope this is a thing, because this is what needs to happen. I guess I never saw that.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Link to Business Insider Article
Pretty much pegs it as 1977-1985, but I was born in 86 and def identify more with the Xennial stuff over Millenial stuff.
Edit: this isn't the good article that I had read a couple months back. I'll have to try and track that one down.

I thought a generation was typically 20 years, but I am an old fart, so don’t listen to me.

I thought it was kids who graduate HS in 2000 born in ‘81-82 and then ending with kids born in ‘95-96

I was born in 85. I prefer to think of myself as a member of the Saturday morning (and afternoon) cartoon generation.

Probably around the 96-97 range is the end.
I was born in 97, my sister in 2001.
We had drastically different cultures growing up, she got a smartphone 7th-8th grade I did not get a phone at all till my sophomore year of HS and it was a brick phone. The amount that four years made as far as how kids were and acted was a crazy difference.
There were still good cartoons when I was growing up, those cartoons had faded out into garbage by the time my sister got to them.
It should be defined as people who can remember 9/11 and those who can not.
I can remember the day and getting out of school and my dad cussing out the TV but did not really know the impact beyond it was something really bad.
