Different groups define different age ranges for this group. The earliest would then put the age at 39 or even 40.
The point remains, however, is that the span is too great for a single term to define them to any degree whatsoever.
- peteretep 8y agoThe one that makes most sense to me, and seems to correspond with most descriptions, is people born before the millenium who became adults after it.
- bobthepanda 8y agoThe cutoff I've always heard, is if you remember 9/11. (Millenials are a primarily US phenomenon, so that would be a major cultural milestone.)
- matte_black 8y agoThat would be damn near everyone, unless you mean people that don’t remember 9/11 are millennials, which is false. No one born in the 2000s could be a millenial, you must have been “growing up” into adolescence during the first decade of the new millennium, and must have witnessed the shift from the analog to the modern digital era.
- bobthepanda 8y agoRemembering the actual event would probably mean you were around 5 at the time, and a cutoff that gets thrown around would be 1995.
- matte_black 8y agoThe people after 1995 are the next generation after millennials.
- fouc 8y agoHow old do you reckon someone would have to be to remember something like that? 5 years old? 10 years old?
- bobthepanda 8y agoNot to dox myself, but I was about five when the event happened, and my brother who is three does not recall it.
- zeckalpha 8y agoTrue of all generational symbologies.
