Why are people born in the late 70s called Millennials? Didn't

i thought millennials were early 80s to mid 90s.
it doesn't matter anyway.

I was born in 77 and I don't know either. I thought I was the information generation. I don't even know what generation Y means.

Pretty much boomer-centric

The most common definition of Millennial I've heard is someone 18 or younger by the turn of the century, so basically 1982-2000. I think that makes the most sense.

>demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years

Also if I've ever referred to myself as anything being born in 77 it's been "an 80s kid"

3-12 years old from 1980-89 is definitive child of the 80s

The "80s", culturally, kinda began a few years before the decade began. Musically, disco was on the way out and synths were the new thing. Millennials are children of the 80s and raised by gen xers normally. Gen Z is for people born after the internet became wide spread and lived their whole lives with the internet being a constant thing. When people are referring to millennials as college kids, it depends on who they're talking about. People who are 20 are more likely to be considered gen z, but people who are 25 are more likely to be considered millennials.

I know but this is Google's top result,

Google said late 70s are millennials so it must be true.

You mean Generation X

Born-in-1980-fag here

I'm not a millennial. You guys are fucking idiots, and I am not. You don't put anything into historical context, you want to create meaningless superfluous subgenres, you want to redefine everything, you are entitled, lazy and want to take down things that were good from previous generations out of sheer boredom and jealousy.

I would really rather die than be lumped into the same generation of you morons

pls kys

Nah I'm a little too young I think. Generation X for example was the movie Slacker in 1991 and I was only 14 then. Gen X was my friends older siblings. Sure I was obsessed with Nevermind when it came out but I was still a little too young to belong to it so to speak. I was "belonged more" to In Utero especially since I saw that tour and also his death especially since his body was found on my 17th birthday
