Which year is the dividing line for Gen X and Millennials?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess I might be a millennial or Xennial, then.

There really is a small cohort between Millennials and Gen X where our experience is rather unique.

1981

There's also the term Xennials , which is 1977-1983.

I generalize millennials as too young to legally drink in the US (21) but old enough to remember the millennium. It's not completely accurate though.

The passage of time is a cruel mistress.

Millennials were born in the late 80s and through the 90s. 97/8 is the rough cutoff. Most of them are in their 30s now and the oldest are in their early 40s.
