Sometimes, like the line between Boomeers and Gen-Xers it can vary by 3 years. If you are on the cusp just identify with what demographic best fits (if at all). Don't let others put you into a box.
This. I've seen some people list the millennial birth years as 1976-1990, and others use 1991-2005. Why not use ranges of consistent length, which would make Generation X 1965-1983, Generation Y/Millennials 1984-2002, and Z/iGen/whatever 2003-2021? This fits in pretty well with my personal "millennial" range of 1987-2004.
Or better yet, get rid of these pseudoscientific factions altogether. Judge people for who they are, as opposed to writing off every concern of a 60-year-old as that of a "senile boomer", or writing off every concern of a 20-year-old as that of a "millennial snowflake". As for the OP, disenfranchising "old people" is incredibly unfair to those over the predetermined, arbitrary age cutoff whose mental faculties are still intact, and it only serves to trivialize the needs of concerns of an entire generation. Besides, how old is "old" anyway? Is it people over the age of 80? 70? 65? 55? 40? 30?
Sounds like boomer talk to me.
