Especially because cartoons tend to be heavy on re-runs even after no longer in production

Shows like Dexter, PPG, and Courage were taken off the air almost immediately after their final episodes aired. By 2006 you couldn't find these shows anywhere.

Are we really limiting ourselves to basic cable in 2006?

Ok, but you don't understand that also some millennials were born later

no he isnt. by definiton a Millennial is a person who came of age around the millennium therefore someone who wasnt at least 12-13 bu 2000 should not be classified as a Millennial.

Now before you melt on me, I understand some of these research groups that still follow the 20 year range still categorize kids born in the 90s as millennials, but by definition of a millennial they arent. And i do believe the further we get away from that time it will hone in on a tighter age range.

The term Xennial has been around for a few years and i will gain steam because someone born in 1982 has nothing in common with someone born in 1992. That is a fact. the exponential growth of technology mad it to where life was completely different in 5 years. It is not like it used to be where there is no difference between 1900 and 1920. or 1965 and 1970.

Late Millennials were born in the early-mid 90s

ok, so by that criteria I would be a millennial for sure. And all of the stuff he wrote in the OP are things I remember well from my childhood/adolescence that my friends and classmates enjoyed.

I feel like being old enough to remember listening to people melting down over the possibilities of the "Y2K Bug" is a minimum prerequisite for being a Millennial

There are people born every day who suck and will grow up to suck. It's been that way since man walked the earth. Doesn't matter what year range or month range you were born. This is much worse than the people who feel proud of certain famous people being from their area.

I will give you that 1996 is too late to be considered a millennial. Definitely not disputing that
