It genuinely pisses me off that anyone 35 and under is in this state. Even people in the golden bracket have been fucked over, it's not all roses.

They shift this stuff around a bit which doesn’t help. Mainstream media use it differently from academics and they all use it differently over time. When I was in my teens, all young people were gen Xers. And we were all lazy cynical twats apparently (fair in my case). Millennial hasn’t come into popular consciousness until probably post 2008 by my vague reckoning. Now they’re all lazy twats with iPhones. It’s going to differ depending on your wealth, how quickly your country adopted certain trends and stuff. And they’ll necessarily redefine it as traits and trends start to emerge and become detectable. It’s hard to be precise is the main point I’m trying to get over in this ramble.Tempy wrote:Escape wrote:Nah, that's Y. Millennials were born shortly before 2000 and later. 1995, let's say.

That's incorrect. The cohort known as millennials (alternatively generation Y) are 1980-2005 as agreed upon by most researches, Some will bring it forward a few years, others will push it back to the mid 70s. Most agree that defining between Xers and Millennials on that internecine period of 75-85 can be difficult, but at the least early 80s is considered the beginning of the cohort. Suggesting there's a difference between Millenials and Gen Y is going against the majority of established demographics. I agree that there's a potential for a big difference between someone born in 95 and 80, and that's part of how cohorts are arbitrarily divided. People of my age group (30-35) likely to share many traits with millennials.
