You were born in 1996 and you don't consider yourself Millennial as denoted by being born when the Millennium changed (2000)?

[-] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

1996 is end millennial, and start gen z.

Though, usually if you got hand me downs as a child, you'd get the same experiences as the people born 3-6 years before you.

That said, I've that splitting people up and putting them into groups like this is a pseudo science over generalization.

Ding ding. Most of my early childhood memories are video tapes, Compaq PC that was a big brick, playing PC games with a joystick, a mega drive, a PS1, family trips/holidays in the car. My family did not have a lot of money so everything I grew up with to say when I was 10 was older stuff. I got a CRT for my room from my great aunt that I thought was the shit when I was about 7-9 and that was only really when thinner TV's were becoming a thing. It always amuses me that people want to label me a millennial when I didn't actually turn 18 at the millennial, I remember 90's kid stuff because I grew up with a Gameboy and Pokémon, I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons in the UK. I don't relate much to gen z because the younger end speaks a completely different language to me.

I feel like having millennials cut off before the millennium shift is stupid and nothing you say can change my mind.

I thought it was based on "became a teenager/young adult" at the turn of the millennium? (I know they've moved the definitions a few times though)
