I wish I could be so confident with such an incorrect and dishonest statement like you.
It's not really incorrect, it's just that it's only the START of the "Millennial" generation, not the whole thing.
Most people generally consider 1980 as the start (so most 1980 babies are 19 years old on Jan 1, 2000) of the Millennial generation. I've seen it as early as 79, and as late as 83 as the start year. No idea why sources vary on this, or why they pick those years instead of 1980. Anyone born in that range might also be called a Xennial, so it's sort of like if one thing considers you a Millennial, but you have strong Gen X energy, then you can be a Xennial if you feel like it. But No Xennial would want that because we don't fuck with Gen X like that.
I prefer calling the Xennials the "Oregon Trail" generation, as it implies we all risked having dysentery to survive.
Don't feed the trolls.
Your redefining words to suit yourself absoblutely renders you as bad as the average truth social user. It is sad to see on lemmy that the concept of 'alternative facts' is used by all sides.
