Who ever came up with the idea that millennials were born after 2000? A toad? All 90s kids (about 1983-early 1992) are millennials...because they grew up on the evolving world that was going into the brand new 2000s. So, I don't think it is necessary for 90s kids to be using "Millennial" as an insult.

Pretty much anybody here doesn't believe that 2000s kids are actually millennials.

Well. 1993-2002 is a 2000s kid in my opinion. I think the 90s portion of the 2000s kid are millennials, 2000 is a good cutoff year. Although, like in my last post...I pointed out "baby millennials" the ones born from 2001-2004. They are Gen Z, but in some ways have the millennial touch. Then again, the oldest millennial is 33/34 and has a job, while the youngest is in 6th grade.

So, are 90s kids like the core millennials to you? Is that you made this thread?

Early 90s kids are. (1983-1987). I guess so.

Early 90s kids are. (1983-1987). I guess so.


Okay. Then why did you say 90s kids in general are millennials? There has to be more than just 1983-1987 to make them be like core millennials.

For what it's worth, I think "core millennials" are something like 1986-1992. Basically, people who were in high school at some point during the mid '00s. To me, those born 1982-1985 are early millennials.

People born in 1993-1999 are late millennials.

1993 to 2000 were the PREMIUM years!!!!  :D  :D  :D

Some people who think that Millennials were born around the Millennium when in fact they are Plurals. The only reason why they are using Millennial as an insult is because they don't realize they are Millennials themselves.

I have to disagree. The Millennial generation will pretty much end in the mid 90s or so. If you at articles, all of them are the Y cohort before 1997.

As for the whole 00s kid thing, I've seen something where 80s kids are Xers, 90s kids are Yers and 00s kids are Zers which clearly makes no sense. That would make every generation much smaller than previously thought.

This is off balance ::). So, the older Millennials are very short while the rest is longer?

Oh, and I want you guys to check out this article I found sometime ago. It gives a good viewpoint on Plurals.

Well, 1991-1992 babies were mostly high school students during the late 2000s. But they did have at least one term in the mid 2000s. Although, if we're talking about anybody who mostly went to high school during the mid 2000s, it would certainly be 1988-1990 babies.

1993 to 2000 were the PREMIUM years!!!!  :D  :D  :D


I don't recall being a premium millennial. Sure, I had a VCR, DVD player, broadband access to the Internet, digital cable, and a couple video game systems in the 2000s. However, that doesn't really make me like a premium milllennial. Even though that term doesn't really exist, not even on the Internet.

People born in 1992 are not "core" millennials. That makes no sense. How are people born in 1992 considered "core" millennials, while people born in 1993 are considered "late"? Why do people still use the 1992/1993 line? You could make the argument that those born in 1992 are a mix, with those born earlier in the year having more in common with core millennials, and those born later in the year having more in common with late millennials.

People born in 1993-1999 are late millennials.


So, people born in 1992 are lumped with late 80s babies. Yet people born just a mere year later, are grouped with late 90s babies? How does that make any sense?  ::)

People born in 1992 are not "core" millennials. That makes no sense. How are people born in 1992 considered "core" millennials, while people born in 1993 are considered "late"?

Anybody after 1990 shouldn't be a core millennial. 1991-1993 have much more in common, than late 80s babies. Especially when they were somehow early 2000s kids.

You could make the argument that those born in 1992 are a mix, with those born earlier in the year having more in common with core millennials, and those born later in the year having more in common with late millennials.


It depends on when someone was born in the year though, someone born in early 1992, like January-April 1992 still has the right to call themselves a core millennial because they were a hybrid of the late 90's and early 2000's throughout their childhood, and graduated high school in 2010 so most of their high school years were spent in the 2000's with only a little overlap being in the first few months of 2010. But someone born in lets say late 1993, like September-December 1993, are basically the same age as those born in early 1994. Were only early 2000's kids, had no core childhood in the late 90's, and spent most of their high school years in the 2010's, since they were in high school from 2008-2012. So IMO, Early/mid 1991 born's are the last full core millennials, late 1991 & early/mid 1992 born's are a hybrid of core millennial and late millennials, and late 1992/1993 and onwards are clearly late millennials. It's obvious that someone born in early 1992 is basically 2 years older than someone born in late 1993.

Also, the only 2000's kids that are millennials are the first half of them. The second half of 2000's kids are Gen Z.

and like I've said many times before, as a 1996 born I feel like I'm stuck in between two generations and for my whole life I will never feel like I'm officially part of Y or Z.

I think you're a Y/Z hybrid, who's somehow leaning Y.

Well, I said core Millennials are "something like 1986-1992", which means they could be 1986-1992, or 1987-1991, or perhaps 1988-1993. Classifying generations is an inexact science, and everybody has a different opinion. I've just always been of the belief that core Gen Y culture peaked between 2003-2006, and that kids that were high school during that era make up the core of the generation. I totally believe that 1991 borns, at the very least, are Peak Y, though, because my brother is a '91er and he's very much Peak Y.


Well, 1991-1992 babies were mostly high school students during the late 2000s. But they did have at least one term in the mid 2000s. Although, if we're talking about anybody who mostly went to high school during the mid 2000s, it would certainly be 1988-1990 babies.


I would say that 1987-1990 is probably the absolute peak of Gen Y, if I had to define it down as narrowly as possible.

It depends on when millennial ends. If it goes all the way to 2000, then I'd say I'm a core millennial. In 2006, my mini-generation was called "iPod Generation" not "High School Musical Generation" ;D If it ends 1995-1997 though, then 1993 is more on the late side of things. I feel like the origins of names such as "digital native", "home lander"and "plural" apply to me as well, so it's hard not to feel some affinity for Generation Z. I don't feel that different compared to 1990-1992 people and have a lot of friends born those years, but it's obvious 1985-1988 had different experiences growing up.

I would say that 1987-1990 is probably the absolute peak of Gen Y, if I had to define it down as narrowly as possible.


Which is when most of them went to high school in the mid 2000s.

Not the C/O 2010! All their HS years were pretty much late 00s with a small overlap of 2010.

This a lot. I have so many 1992 friends that it irks me when people separate them. Like how they are different from me? We went to school together! Just being truly honest, I don't see 1988-91 that contrastive from me either. It seems like some folks are exaggerating the age differences when it's not even that big!


So, people born in 1992 are lumped with late 80s babies. Yet people born just a mere year later, are grouped with late 90s babies? How does that make any sense?  ::)
;D ;D ;D ;D I'm with you man! It doesn't.

Uhh, I'm positive that we all have more in common together. 5 years of a difference is not that huge.

Not the C/O 2010! All their HS years were pretty much late 00s with a small overlap of 2010.

C/O 2009 had most of their high school years in the late 00's too, but with a small underlap in the mid 2000's during the 2005-06 school year (their freshman year).

I think we're guilty of being too specific here! I don't think it all matters that much.  ;D

I think it had to deal with me saying that 1991 and 1992 babies are usually late 2000s high school students.

I don't think 2001-2004 are necessarily millennials, I was just pointing that they are "baby millennials" because they are a part of Gen Z with a millennial touch.

That solely depends. I can understand if it's Jan-Feb 1992 and Nov-Dec 1993, but the rest is not nearly 2 years. It also depends on the state as well since not all states had a September cutoff. As for the HS years, we can say the same thing for the C/O 2009-11. We all had our HS careers within the late 00s time-frame.

Now regarding generations, I still think it's better to split them into halves especially since the whole thirds thing can get out of control and cause confusion.


Also, the only 2000's kids that are millennials are the first half of them. The second half of 2000's kids are Gen Z.

I would say that 1987-1990 is probably the absolute peak of Gen Y, if I had to define it down as narrowly as possible.
Wouldn't the peak be much longer than the timeframe? I'm sure the late 00s were also part of the climax. As for the classifications, well generations come from sociology which means you have events, traits, social trends and other misc to observe. While we all have different opinions, there are facts that do state the truth and they trump over any opinion we have even if it's right or wrong. If we factor in all those elements of generations, then we get a clearer picture of these cohorts which makes things less complicated.

If we were to use the thirds system with 1986-90 being the core, then it would look like this:

Older Millennials: 1981-85

Main Millennials: 1986-90

Younger Millennials: 1991-95

If we were to use the thirds system with 1985-92 being the core, then it would look like this:

Older Millennials: 1977-84

Main Millennials: 1985-92

Younger Millennials: 1993-00

But everyone knows that this classification is way too long considering it is almost a 25 year span, and that some folks would have children within the same generation as them.


I don't think 2001-2004 are millennials, I was just pointing that out.
Oh. My bad. I thought you were saying they are. buy yeah, I think this generation will end between the mid/ate 90s.

Well, it's simply a transitional period at best. For instance, 2000 was mainly for those born in the early 90s, since it was just like 1998/1999. Especially when they did similar influences towards the late 90s. 2001-2003 on the other hand was somehow more influential towards the 21st century, as we went past the 2nd millennium. Same with the mid-late 2000s, but with less 90s influences.

I feel like an early Millennial stuck in the middle of the main Millennials because of my early memory and different attitudes towards life I have.

I feel the opposite, like a person who's surrounded by core millennials but is more late millennial/early Z personality wise  ;D Even in the mid-2000s when everyone was into that whole "macho" and "cool" culture (and a lot of people I know have never let go of that era tbh), I was always about being more nerdy and deliberately weird, a type of culture that would come into fruition in the 2010s.

I've read articles that said it either ends at 1994, 1996, 1998 or 2000.

Ahh! Same here. I was (and still am) a weirdo, but I wasn't as nerdy as I am now since I still was being macho in some way (not fully ;)) and that some people were scared of me. ;D

Well it truly doesn't. I mean all of us within those grad classes had either most or partial of our HS years surrounded by that period.


Even though some people think late 2006 is somehow like the mid 2000s. So, they did have one semester of being in high school during the mid 2000s.
That's if we're going by the thirds formula. If we go by halves, then the C/O 2007-11 had their most or all of their HS careers in the late 00s (2005-09).


I feel like an early Millennial stuck in the middle of the main Millennials because of my early memory and different attitudes towards life I have.
So you feel much older than you truly are? Same here! I feel that I should be a little older than what I am right now.

I usually agree with the thirds formula, since I kinda think that the mid and late 2000s are somehow different within each other. Also, the classes of 2007/8 somehow spent more time at high school during the mid 2000s.

It's because I have seen it as the beginning of this generation mentioned in many articles and no, I posted barely after you made the edit. I thought it started in 1982, since they graduated in 2000 (the new millennium).

2008 would be equally mid and late 2000s wouldn't it? 2006-2007 school year was late 2000s. Although they could identify with whatever year they want, I don't get why we restrict to high school.

Graduation years, I guess. If we're talking about childhood years, then most core millennials would be 90s kids, while most late millennials would be 2000s kids.

Yeah, that would be correct with the thirds system, but I was using the halves formula.

Well, remember there were 1981 folks who graduated in 2000 due to them starting late.

If you go by the halves system, then they pretty much spent their HS career throughout the late 00s period.

So you feel much older than you truly are? Same here! I feel that I should be a little older than what I am right now.


I feel older and younger at the same time. It's hard to explain. I think Gen Z has more common sense than a lot of generations and I relate to a lot of what they say and how they were brought up compared to Millennials. They were allowed to be more unique and I was and it put me at odds with the conformist school system. Core Millennials seem more conformist for some reason.

I feel older and younger at the same time. It's hard to explain.
So you're physically younger, but mentally older?

Yeah, that would be correct with the thirds system, but I was using the halves formula.


Well yeah, I get that. If you used the halves system, then they stayed in high school during the late 2000s.

So you're physically younger, but mentally older?


I think she said the opposite. She's physically older than core millennials born 1987-1992 but mentally she has more in common with Gen Z.

Ohhhhh. Maybe it's because she stated that she had a few Gen Z traits.

So what's the new year ranges for Millenials now? Is it 1982 to 2000 now?

More like people under 40, but over 20. Anyone under 20 is a Plural.

Not anymore. I honestly see it spanning from late 70s to mid 90s. I've read comments from the former and they have stated they don't feel like true Xers in a sense. I mean, they were all part of the American Pie and Pop-Punk crowd back in in the day.

It changes every week. That's nucking futs!!!  :D  :D  :D  :D

I personally believe that Gen Y is from 1980-1998. That would explain why pop culture became cheesy in 1997 or 1998, not in 1995 or something. That would also explain why there's a certain je ne sais quoi surrounding 1999-borns that they're not Y anymore despite having some Y traits.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Early 90s kids are. (1983-1987). I guess so.

Nope. core 90s kids are the heart and soul of the generation. Not the older ones...

Also, the only 2000's kids that are millennials are the first half of them. The second half of 2000's kids are Gen Z.

and like I've said many times before, as a 1996 born I feel like I'm stuck in between two generations and for my whole life I will never feel like I'm officially part of Y or Z.

So just because you had you're peak childhood in the mid 00s, You feel like you're in between. ???
Damn! :o

I feel a bit between as a Y/Z hybrid (somehow), even though I sort of lean towards Z.

Well... I still think it is.
Markese has his own views, and i've got my own beliefs on this subject! ;) ;D


Besides NewYorkEagle for example; doesn't completely come off as an early Zer.

Well... it's not like I'm proud of being an early Zer. If anything, I'll rather use what decade do I usually identify with. As being a 2000s kid, I sort of identify with that decade. Especially when it had most of my core memories to make me what I am today.

Well yeah my peak was a mixture of early & mid 2000's, but I still feel like I'm between, besides this applies to how technology has gone since I've fully grown up into my young adulthood, not just my kid years.

Well, it was starting to get a bit repetitive.

Well, it was starting to get a bit repetitive.
Yep.

Well, remember there were 1981 folks who graduated in 2000 due to them starting late.
Like me, I graduated HS in 2012-13, but I was born in 1994.

I guess you were born in late 1994, and lived in a state where it had a January-September cutoff system.

I was born in early July 1994. My parents decided that they wanted me to get my drivers license first out of my class, and other stuff. So that's why.

Well okay. I didn't know you could do that anywhere in the United States, while having your senior year late.

Wouldn't the peak be much longer than the timeframe? I'm sure the late 00s were also part of the climax. As for the classifications, well generations come from sociology which means you have events, traits, social trends and other misc to observe. While we all have different opinions, there are facts that do state the truth and they trump over any opinion we have even if it's right or wrong. If we factor in all those elements of generations, then we get a clearer picture of these cohorts which makes things less complicated.


Yes, the core of Gen Y culture would be much longer than 2003-2006, I just think that those years are the absolute peak, and the years that core Millennials will be forever stereotyped by in the future. Like, eventually, when the inevitable first Gen Y nostalgia movie comes out, I'll bet anything it'll be set in 2004.

I still just don't quite feel like 1999 is a full Gen Z year either. It's true that you guys aren't old enough to remember any of the '90s, Y2K, or 9/11, but 1999ers are old enough to have been cognizant of '00s pop culture, music and politics, particularly during Bush's second term (2005-09). Plus, you guys are (for the most part anyway) getting ready to leave high school early next year at a time where the culture is still vaguely Millennial. Because of all that, I'm comfortable enough calling 1999 "tail end" Y.

Well, I did listen to 2000s pop music as a kid. I could also remember when Myspace was still relevant at the time, along with knowing what a VCR was. I think if anybody grew up with those kind of stuff, along with not knowing what YouTube was throughout their entire life (this might include their preschool years), then they could somehow be in Gen Y.

Well... I still think it is.

Yeah, we do, but remember that facts will always overpower opinions. If you look at great sources, you'll know that they show the generational spans with good detail.

I was born in early July 1994. My parents decided that they wanted me to get my drivers license first out of my class, and other stuff. So that's why.
Yeah, you can see it that way, but you don't have to be born late to start school late. I know many folks who were born early and the middle of all years and they were held back for various reasons.

Were you able to earn your license?


Yes, the core of Gen Y culture would be much longer than 2003-2006, I just think that those years are the absolute peak, and the years that core Millennials will be forever stereotyped by in the future.

Ohh, now I know what you mean. Yeah, I can totally see 2004 as being the definite year for Millennial nostalgia in the future.

That's something I can understand since they know the (decade's) kid fad thanks to YouTube. Maybe you could ask them and see what generation they see themselves as (if they are interested and know about them).

Do you, your friends and people you know truly see yourselves as a Y/Z hybrids?


I know that your question wasn't intended for me, however I thought I would answer it anyway. :P

Opinion is pretty much split among my friends. My August 1999 born friend considers himself to be a Gen Z, because he is led to believe that 1997 is the final year of Gen Y. However, he has an older sister, who was coincidentally born in 1997, so I think it's very likely that his older sister has convinced him that he is not apart of the same generation as her, which is ridiculous IMO. Another friend of mine, born in May 1999, believes that she is a Gen Z and not a Gen Y.

However, a friend of mine, who was born in May 2000, believes that people born in 1999 and 2000 are the "tail-end" of Gen Y. He believes that people born from 2001 onwards are apart of Generation Z, because they were not only born in the 21st Century (and not the 20th), but also because he believes they grew up with technology (such as social media, smartphones etc.) at an earlier age. Also, I have a cousin who was born in December 2000, and he doesn't consider himself to be apart of the same generation as those born from 2001 onwards. He thinks they are "annoying" and "stupid little kids". However, with that being said, I don't know if he identifies himself as Gen Y or Gen Z.

I also have two other friends who were born in August 1999 and January 2000 respectively, however I haven't asked them as to whether they view themselves as being Gen Y or Gen Z. Coincidentally, my January 2000 born friend also believes that people born in 2001 onwards are a different generation. Is this a common belief among people born in 2000? Why do 2000'ers tend to believe that they are not apart of the same generation as other 2000's babies?

As for myself, being born in March 1999, I personally consider myself to be a Gen Y/Z cusp.

There's a Twitter hashtag trending called "#ConfuseaMillennial". Most of the top posts are about Boomers wrecking the economy blah blah blah, but if you go down a ways there are posts containing VHS, floppy disks, non-electric pencil sharpeners, and standing for the national anthem in school as things Millennials allegedly don't understand. :P

Like the people who browse 4chan's /v/ board, these people are Millennials who confusingly insult Gen Z by calling Gen Z "Millennials"! ;D And one of the tweets even says "Boomers ruined everything and blame preteens for it". PRETEEN MILLENNIALS???? Lol!

I swear, a lot of people on social media act like their parents jammed a knife in their brains when they were younger, because they're just so dumb and unaware of the facts. I would not be surprised if Facebookers thought Earth is the sixth planet from the sun or if a cow goes baaaa. :P

That sounds nothing like Millennials wouldn't understand. I mean, most if not all of them grew up with VHS, floppy disks, and non-electric pencil sharpeners (with electric ones as another option).

Well, if it's coming from 4chan, you aren't really getting any intelligent information from the site. I mean, most of them are either posting for sh*ts and giggles, or they tend to think that the Internet is like their Holy Bible of their knowledge.

Like 4chan, there aren't that much intelligent information on social media. F*ck, I don't even think Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, or even Instagram is even informative in any way possible, unless it's for dumb posts.

Yeah, that's almost certainly '80s babies who mistakenly buy in to the "'90s born=Millennial" thing, since we did grow up with all of those things you listed. It's more common than you think, too. There was a guy I worked with one time close in age to me (he was born in 1985) who firmly believed that he qualified as Generation X because one of the first albums he ever bought on CD, as an 11-year-old, was Nirvana: Unplugged in New York. ;D

It's sad that so many in my tribe just refuse to accept what they really are. Denial can be an ugly thing.

Oh yeah, I understand what you mean. the 1997-2000 cohort is truly in a Y/Z transition because of so many things. As for your question, honestly they're most likely not going to be part of this generation. If you noticed, part of their education has been technology driven. The events that affected Millennials sincerely didn't impact them aside from possibly the recession, and their traits mainly differ from that of a typical Millennial.

I swear, it's so hilarious. When are these people going to acknowledge that they are the Millennials (Which is another name for Gen Y), not Gen Z? (The term for them is Plurals)

Yeah, they are right about the Boomers wrecking the economy in some way, but not so fast! it wasn't honestly their doing, it was actually the GI Generation (The Boomer's parents and Millennial's Grandparents) since they had control for most of the past decades. Some of the policies the GIs made were clearly no good and it hit the economy in a terrible way.

I know how you feel man. I was in an argument with someone on another site and I said that Y and Millennials were the same generation as they mean the same thing, and kept repeating that no, they are separate. In addition, he even stated that Gen Z doesn't exist and mistakenly assumed Millennials are that cohort like some ignorant folks. Yeah, being in denial is so ugly and he wouldn't admit that he was clearly wrong with all the evidence presented in front of him.

These folks need to realize they are NOT part of the MTV generation in any way. They don't even have the traits associated with Gen X and the events like the Challenger, Berlin Wall, and the USSR breaking into pieces that impacted the former didn't have an effect on them at all. Oh, and that reminds me, here's a Buzzfeed article I found a while back that shows what I'm talking about.
