This is so clear to those of us on the edge. Being born 6 weeks prior to the Millennial cutoff was a gift. All the X-ers had already self selected and I was too old to participate in every Millennial rite of passage.

Me too. Born a very late Boomer, I felt not much cultural sympathy for the whole ‘60s thing. Very pleased to identify with early-cohort Xers.
