Same on all accounts except only one grandpa was in the Korean war. We're pretty squarely in the millennial cohort, which is largely defined by the major world events during our formative years that straddled the turn of the millennium. Assuming you're in the US: We were kids at the tail end of the cold war. We were in our early teens during the unfettered optimism of the late 90s, when the internet revolution was really kicking off. We became adults right after the turn of the new millennium, in the wake of 9/11, between two recessions. The world changed a lot in that timespan and we're defined by our having experienced it during our late childhood and early adulthood.
