The dates are fuzzy, because generations are more cultural than clinical.

If person born in 1984 grew up thinking "I could get a good job but what's the point" and worried about nuclear war constantly, they might ID as genX.

Millennials: “I could work forever and die with nothing, the environments going to kill us all painfully, but fuck it memes”
