Where does millennial become Gen Z?

[Redway]

Is anyone on the young-ish side automatically a millennial to you or is there a cut-off point?

[Livia]

I want to be the Nirvana generation. If that's okay...

[Beso]

Yeah shove madness and the jam in the poll as well...and jockey Wilson.

[Jessica.]

1995, any younger and they wouldn't really remember passing into a new millenium which is what kind of defines a millennial.

[Alf]

I want to be the Nirvana generation. If that's okay...Are they the ones who drink Pennyroyal Tea, whilst locked inside a heart shaped box?

[Saph]

I'd say like early 00s

[MB.]

I'd say like early 00s

There are no millennials born in the 00s

[MB.]

(or after 1996)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Apart from Dance music the 90s was a musical mess

[Saph]

why

[Beso]

What a load of ****e.


I used to be at after house parties with zombies, with me shoving ABBA and Gloria estifan on the stereo to get the party started.

[Jessica.]

why

That is just not what defines a millennial, it's a generation?

[Niamh.]

Yeah I voted 1994 but should really be 1995.

[Saph]

idk I always think of millennials being somewhere from 1990-2001

[Niamh.]

1980/81 is when millennials start

[Saph]

that would make some millennials 40 this year :skull: I just think of them being in their 20s

[AnnieK]

Apart from Dance music the 90s was a musical mess

Noooo....the Rave scene was good but so was some of the BritPop/ Indie scene

[Smithy]

I had this discussion with someone the other day and the official cut off it like 1996 or smn

[Niamh.]

Yeah I know, every young person seems to think they're a millennial for some reason

[Niamh.]

Grunge all the way

[Redway]

I’d say core millennial ends around 1993 and the generation from 1994/95 up until 1998 is its own generation. 1999 is where Gen Z starts.

This is a different table I found that has them broken down into "cores" like that, would make me Gen X and Xennial as I was born in 1978

I'm one of Thatcher's children.

[Saph]

1994-2000 we're the small generation from the golden age in pop music, video games and cartoons

Baby bust :joker:

Waits for the you’re bust insults

[Marsh.]

Gen Alpha :skull:

Nah. Best to strike 1999/2000 babies off. They’re part of a different world.

[Marsh.]

Yeah you can't include people born after 1998 as they don't remember a time before high speed internet, smartphones etc.

[Redway]

Plus these are the kids who got their GCSEs in numbers rather than A* to G letters and did all their A-Levels at the end of upper sixth with no AS Levels. Plus their first phones wouldn’t have been a Samsung, Nokia or even a Blackberry. I think 1997/1998 is the last generation that can be considered vaguely old-school.

[Beso]

Gen x and proud.

[Jason.]

If you're too young to remember 9/11 you're Gen Z.

[Redway]

It definitely wasn’t a mess for hip hop.

Being a Xennial is the weirdest generation, I swear. A childhood of cassette/VHS tapes, calling your friends on the landline, no mobiles, no internet, 4 channels on the telly (I vividly remember the excitement, and rapid disappointment, of the Channel 5 launch) ... oh, also telly FINISHING at night and playing "pages from ceefax" until the morning, or that static image of the girl and the puppet thing...

...but then, by the end of my teens it was MP3's and (albeit basic) Broadband, and the first iPhone not long after.

[user104658]

Whereas my daughter (10) cannot get her head around the concept of television schedules/broadcast TV at all. Finds it straight-up baffling, has never really encountered anything other than streaming.

So I'm an iGen according to that chart.:think:

So when Millennials get called Snowflakes I don't have to feel offended for myself anymore.:dance::joker:

Being serious though I always thought that I was apart of the Millennials generation, I'd never heard of iGen before.

The book that originated the term 'Generation X' as it is used today.

It's interesting that the same characteristics that are now ascribed to Millennials and Gen Z were once given to Gen X'rs and Baby Boomers.

I were born in 2000 and got A* to G letters for GCSEs, my college did AS Levels and my first phone were a Sony Ericsson love so I don’t think that’s right!

In broad terms it is right though. You’re an exception.

As the song goes every generation blames the one before .. you as a young person try to fight the system and finally you conform and even champion what you used to despise.

My kids were born in different generations 1993 and 1997.

Older Millennials are now called Geriatric Millennials apparently.


I’m a geriatric millennial – and proud of it
For years, we were the forgotten bridge between Gen Xers and millennials. Now it's time to talk about my micro-generation.....

I feel old when I hear Generation Z youngers not remembering VHS & Casset tapes
