It’s exactly right isn’t it? Millennials had their formative years around the turn of the millennium.

it either means that or it means people who were children at the turn of the millennium but not both.
-
"these entitled Millennials" refers to the latter, not people in their 30s today.

It's because they dropped Gen Y. I tell everyone I'm Gen Y. I remember floppy disks, corded phones, and life before the Internet.

If millenials and Gen Y were appropriately separated, instead of combined by demographers, this wouldn't be the case.

i think the idea is that millennials come of age around the turn of the millennium.
-
But "come of age" varies. Being 15 in 1995 was surprisingly different than being 15 in 2005 from what I can tell.
-
I think prob more similar than different. First native computer literate gen, last gen before ubiquitous cell/smartphones
-
the idea that if you were born in 1985, you were "native computer literate" is very SV bubble.
-
Many other examples of uneven distribution. If you were born in 1985 in Australia you grew up with max. 5 TV channels.

I find generations silly but enjoy thinking about it. Kinda like astrology for some. I relate to this one: https://medium.com/@thehipp/fuck-you-i-m-not-a-millennial-e92e653ceb39 …

a dividing line to me is Pokemon. If they were a part of your life as a kid: millennial. As arbitrary as everything else, but fun :)

I complain about this regularly. The age range is too large for the amount of change that took place in that time period IMO

"Gen X" was 10 years older than me until I was around 30, then suddenly I was Gen X too. They're weird, drifty boundaries for sure.
