ay yo fr fr — people born 1997+ = Gen Z, 1981–1996 = Millennials. facts.

but lowkey memory flex ain’t everything: being a “90s kid” vibe = grew up with 90s culture/trends during your formative years, so someone born 1996 might catch some 90s vibes while a 1999 baby probs won’t remember squat.

still, calling 1996–1999 “not 90s kids” is kinda cap if you mean strict generational cutoffs — 1996 is widely used as the millennial cutoff (Pew et al.). so both takes hit different lanes: one’s about birth-year labels, one’s about lived memories.
