Ok, just to clear this up, literally no one uses anything other 1980/81-1996/7 as the age range for Millenials (Gen Y). The only people who used 1984-1997 is the fucking Survivor Season 33 idiot producers (idiot boomer aged producers most likely). So now we can put this to rest. Thank you.
>The majority of researchers and demographers start the generation in the early 1980s, with many ending the generation in the mid-1990s. Australia's McCrindle Research[28] regards 1980–1994 as Generation Y birth years. A 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers[29] report and Edelman Berland[30] use 1980–1995. Gallup Inc.,[31][32][33] Eventbrite[34][35] and Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research[36] all use 1980–1996. Ernst and Young uses 1981–1996.[37] Manpower Group uses 1982–1996.[38]
Others end the generation in the late 1990s or early 2000s. A 2017 viral video from BuzzFeed, detailing the seven living generations of Americans, described Millennials as those born between 1981–1997.[39] On the American television program Survivor, for their 33rd season, subtitled Millennials vs. Gen X, the "Millennial tribe" consisted of individuals born between 1984 and 1997.[40] Goldman Sachs,[41] Resolution Foundation,[42][43] and a 2013 Time magazine cover story[44] all use 1980–2000. SYZYGY, a digital service agency partially owned by WPP, uses 1981–1998,[45][46] and the United States Census Bureau uses 1982–2000.[47] Pew Research Center defines Millennials as being born from 1981 onwards, with no chronological end point set yet.[48][49]

So Survivor just wanted younger people to represent Gen X? Fair enough.

Who gives a fuck?
Ive been in the workforce for 18 years.
Born in 82 and no one has ever called me a millennial.
imo (and other researchers), the defining phenomenons of those who are millenials, is that they were between age 5 and ~20 when 911 happened. So this was the defining moment that marked their coming of age. That along with the internet. ie. if you were less than about 5, you would be too young and oblivious to even understand something epically bad was happening when 911 happend. And if you were older than about 21, you would already be into your 20s and the defining mark for those (Gen X) would have been the fall of the Soviet Union, watching the wall come down or something like that. We can call Gen X the "cable TV" generation. Because they came of age as cable TV and MTV were coming of age. The boomers, we could call the the "TV dinner" or "TV" generation, because they were coming of age as the prevailance of being at home watching TV happened then.

firstly, arrrrr, how be thee winds today sailor, second, if you were working non stop from age 18-to 36, then you are completely anomolistic to the millenial generation, and for all intents and purposes, you really aren't typical and aren't a Millenial, at leas not in real terms. You embody the exact template of what Gen X is purported to be, who are hardworking, and entrepreneurial, yet cynical, idk if youre cynical, but the Gen X is the gen that worked alot, and is very indepnedent. millenials are the exact polar opposite of that. they work little, and are overly reliant on their boomer parents.

This, Gen Z doesn't remember a world before 9/11.
