1981 is not gen x. both ohnoes and upset jew had catastrophic meltdowns when confronted with these facts. upset jew spammed fulano shit in response, literally lost his mind. what happened that year that this group of misfits wont claim it? was it aids or something.

Born in fall 81= class of 2000 high school grad, ie definitionally millennial. Cutoff is Sept 81 unless you want to vary it according to your local school cutoff. Fits many of the best other tests and resolve the problem of boomers having 19 years v 16 for Gen X and that fueling boomers’ use of generation ranges to assert their cultural dominance and persistence. Similarly the correct and obvious best choice for end of millennials/start of Gen Z is were old enough to vote on Election Day 2016.

(guy who felt this was important enough to make an entire thread about it and recalled specific opinions about millennial cutoff)

Look bro it's called "millennial" because the Gen turned 18 in 2000. That's the Entire Point. Some Frauds tried to later back-revise it to 1981 because they wanted Gen Z to start in 1996 for Aesthetics, and you're not allowed to have a Gen less than 15 years. You and ggtp are btfo itt imo

Here's my generation classification take. I know there are Rules that this doesn't necessarily fit into, but I think there should be a generation defined by COVID interfering with formative years of education/childhood development. Something like 2003-2021, or maybe a later start date if we count fewer years as formative.

The cut off for Gen Z will be 2015 ie “were you old enough to have attended kindergarten via zoom.” It’s a massive dividing line because that cohort was taught to see screens as 10+ hour a day devices and had basically free access to YouTube that was unblockable by parents until the recent spate of activism in the past 6 months (and these battles with school districts are still raging) so these kids will have had KG-puberty with a YouTube Wild West burden on their education and cognitive development and this bizarre distortion of their cultural and media taste preferences.
