What's the cutoff? My instinct is 1975 but then that gives a 50 year period for 'mid' and only 25 each for 'early'/'late'. So is the cutoff between mid and late 1966?

I feel like early, middle and late aren't continuous, and there's gaps.
I don't think 1932 is early or mid 1900s.

Kinda like how young, old and middle aged don't have an immediate cutoff. A 31 year old is neither young nor middle aged, and a 54 year old is past middle aged, but they aren't old yet.

Funny how you see gaps. I feel they overlap. For decades Like 31-34 is early 30s, 33-37 is mid, and 38 39 are late. (Late being a smaller interval because everyone likes it that way.)

I think the about the same proportions work for centuries.

But I definitely see gaps in being young, old, and middle-age.

I've always gone 30-33 is early, 34-36 is mid, and 37-39 is late myself.

I agree here. This is what I go by
