Wait, genx was till 1980? Then, are Millenials since 1981?
According to Wikipedia, they are of the birth years 1981-1996
Well shit, I guess I'm not a genx then, but I'm a millennial
I think 86 mightve been the cutoff but don't quote me on that
Generations cutoffs are a messy thing and the cutoffs are vague(like its already been a few years and the cutoff for gen z is still ambiguous) but generally yeah the cutoff is generally around 1980 or 1979.
Yeah I’m ‘84 - I’m either young gen x or old millennial. I dunno, does it really matter?
I’ve heard the best way to split it is if the person remembers the Berlin Wall coming down. I only remember it as being a semi-recent historical event when I was a kid, which would make me a millennial.
However, my brother is ‘80 and he says he remembers it coming down so that would make him Gen X using this method.
Either way, I like this method better than trying to draw a line at a specific date.
I think the split between boomers and gen x is watergate.
The split between millennials and gen Z would be if a person remembers 9/11.
Covid is probably where I’d put the split between Zoomers and whatever.
