Wait, we are millenials? I thought that's folks born after 2000. What are those then? I'm totally out of touch apparently. Thought with my 39 years I'm in boomer territory.
It's perfectly reasonable to not be sure, nobody really cares except boomers who want to blame "the youth" and they just call anyone younger than them "millennials." I believe we're millennials because we were around for the millennium.
There's no hard and fast rule to it, but ya got boomers, Gen x, millennials, Gen z, and now Gen alpha - but if you ask boomers we all millennials 😂 There's no definitive agreement but from some quick clicking around a couple sites mostly agreed to
Boomers - 1946-1964 (~60-80) Gen X - 1965-1980 (~44-60) Millennials - 81-96 (~28-43) Gen Z - 97-2010 (~14-27) Gen Alpha - 2010-now (~13 and below)
Wow, that puts my dad right on the edge of boomer to gen x. The more you know... Thanks!
Approximately this graph.
My brother was born in 1965. He's just barely not a Boomer. I was born in 1977 (yes, I was planned). I'm just barely not a Millennial. We're both Gen X. That's weird. I mean I already knew we both were, but seeing it on a chart like this...
Think of it like liquid. Oil and water separate but not always at the same level. Sometimes people born on the line could flip to the other side
I get that, it's just weird to see it laid out visually.
Got it, thanks!
