I think different people consider millennials to consist of different age ranges. Mostly, I see people use the term to mean "young adults of today", primarily people in their 20s.
After some quick searching, it appears the starting birth year for millenials can be considered to go as far back as 1977. Having personally been born in 1980, I've never characterized myself as what I hear a "millennial" to be, and the people I know in my age range feel the same way about themselves.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoYeah, we older millenials are super salty about being labeled as such. But professional demographers and sociologists say you are a millenial (at least some of them, 1980 is borderline), so to the extent that these are defined groups that mean anything, you are one. I suspect that not wanting to be labeled a millenial is one of the defining characteristics.
- sanderjd 9y ago> I've never characterized myself as what I hear a "millennial" to be I suspect this is true for literally everybody. Which is because these characterizations are reductive nonsense: people contain multitudes.
- KGIII 9y agoHow true. I'm a boomer. I'm told that I'm responsible for many ills, hold certain political views, and can't use a computer. None of which are true, but here we are. My generation had the sexual revolution, I'm so left I make Europeans blush, and I used my first computer in the early seventies. But, people like their boxes and generalizations, or so it seems.
