It's one of the reasons I've always disagreed with the 1980 start date. It should around 85-86. If you were born in 1980 you were about a Jr or Sr in college when having internet access in your home was becoming fairly common.
Its hard to really pin point a start and end of a generation because the tail ends are kind of merged with the generations before and after.
It is kind of been accepted Millennials are the span from about 81/82 -mid 90s. Some put it as late as 98/99. I have a niece that was born in 98 and both she and her peers do not share many millennial characteristics at all

People started getting access to dialup in the mid-late 90s but most people didn't have internet until the early 00s. If you had it in 1997 you were among 11% in the developed world that did.
Those Cindy Crawford photos were frustratingly slow. I usually just gave up and fapped to the Victoria Secret catalog.

ate 2001-mid 2004 is still clearly Millennial territory. Late 2004-mid 2006 had some Zoomer influence, but the overall feel was still Millennial. It wasn't until late 2006 that the Zoomer influence was dominant, and by then I was in 5th grade. My childhood was mostly Millennial. Different than the early-mid 90s, but still Millennial.

Even more hilarious are the Zoomers who call people younger than themselves Millennials. Yes, there's actually people like this.

Millennial teen culture actually went all the way to around 2013. It was in 2013 that Instagram/Twitter started overtaking Facebook as the dominant social media for teens.

Do you think that you had a more similar childhood experience with someone born in 1986 than 2002? I'd argue that you didn't and I was alive for all of those years

Well I do think the 6th gen consoles (GameCube/PS2/XBox) are more closely tied with the 4th gen (SNES/Genesis) than the 7th gen (Wii/PS3/360) since the 7th gen was the first to really emphasize online gaming. The 3rd-6th gens were all part of the same "living room" video gaming culture, where you'd invite your friends over and y'all would all play, even though the technology was radically improved in 2003 compared to 1991.

Alright, I'll make my case why I, as a 23 year old, still relate more to a 33 year old than a 17 year old despite me having internet as a kid and a 33 year old not having Internet as a kid.
YouTube shows, Web 2.0, and the Wii are probably the most significant innovations separating the childhood culture of Gen Y/Millennials and that of Gen Z. Early 2000s kids (like me, born 1995) who grew up with Yu-Gi-Oh!, early Spongebob, GameCube, candy iMacs, and the like can still be somewhat compared to Bush '41-era kids who watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, collected Garbage Pail Kids cards, played NES, and owned an Apple II or Commodore 64 at home; though the shows and quality of technology had evolved drastically, the overall structure of childhood was quite similar - a mix between edgy cartoon shows, mascot-driven video game consoles, and a *mild* dose of digital technology. True, we had Internet and you didn't, but early 2000s kids mostly used Internet just for playing Nick.com games or looking at maze screensavers etc., while we still balanced the rest of our time with outdoor activities. Social media did not factor into kids' childhoods yet because it was barely there; the Internet was still in its Web 1.0 phase that it wouldn't fully leave until around 2006/2007.
Kids who grew up in the LATE 2000s (like my little brother, born 2001), however, during the era of Phineas & Ferb, Hannah Montana, YouTube, Wii, predominantly broadband internet, and eventually mobile apps, lived primarily digital lives while still children and spent more time indoors. I can easily relate to the videos posted by James Rolfe the Angry Video Game Nerd (born 1980, at the very end of Generation X), even though I'm over a decade younger than him, because I mostly read game manuals for guidance in the early 2000s opposed to googling everything (our home internet was still dial up at the time and it took so long to load Gamefaqs that it wasn't worth it), plus the Ps2/GameCube/Xbox gen was the last one before things like mandatory DLC and microtransactions really took of. I still feel closer to James's gaming generation than anybody who grew up with the Wii and up.

Maybe you are different than a kid born in 2006. I have a daughter that age and think she is probably not the same as someone born in 1996. The big difference is mobile internet access there.
That being said, a kid born in the early 80s had a wildly different childhood than you did.

I was born in '95 and I do the opposite. I claim to be gen Z because I don't want to be associated with millennials.

I'm not generally considered either of these generations but I had a younger sister that was born in 1980 and she was right on the cusp of GenX but not a stereotypical millennial. Maybe because she was the baby of 3 GenX siblings?
The cutoff should be like 1985. Being born in 1996 vs 1980 is a whole other world.

Well, your generation's story is yet to be written. CNN or Fox News won't do it for you.

quote:cutoff? what cuttoff?
The cutoff should be like 1985.
the definition of millennial is someone who came of age around the millennium. so this COULD rande from say 22 to 13 around 2000 so the range SHOULD be 1979-1983. Granted a 13yo is drastically different than a 22.
What i have come to believe is that people that remember the living in a world without main stream internet, and true mobile phones and grew up as the internet blossomed is a millennial. So this is people between the ages of 1980 to MAYBE 1989-90. But being married to someone born in the 90s i know for a fact that they grew up with a different childhood i did being born int he early-80s.
