People on Sup Forums have debated constantly what Millennials are, so here's my take.
Millennials = 1982–1996
Too young to remember the Challenger explosion, old enough to remember 9/11 in some capacity (assuming human beings become conscious and start truly remembering shit at the age of 5 or so).
There, debate solved, end of story. The other definitions you guys post from shitty websites are WRONG. This is the most logical definition. Saying a teen is a Millennial is like saying Nazi Germany lasted from 1933 to 1948 (i.e. false).

Time magazine is similar publications are going to die soon because of "millennials." They're just butthurt and pandering to their readers, all of whom are going to die soon.

Pretty sure people born in 1996 weren't young adults in 2000. The term millennial comes from millennium, chosen because they were defining the generation of people who were young adults (14-22) in 2000, the start of the new millennium. So you're off by like ten years.

>The term millennial comes from millennium, chosen because they were defining the generation of people who were young adults (14-22) in 2000, the start of the new millennium. So you're off by like ten years. Yes, but that's the beginning of Millennials.
Defining the end of millennials is trickier, but I'd say 95 or 96 is the most logical ending point, because after that, they don't remember the September 11th attacks.
Liam Gutierrez
I don't think most people would consider 34 year olds "millennials"
If anything it just seems to be a codeword for complaining about teenagers, without the risk of sounding like an old fart for bitching about teenagers.
If I was being more philosophical about it I would say it's the cultural divide between people who grew up with social media, and those who didn't. Which would mean people who were children and teens in the early-mid 2000's.
Brandon Cook
So you were born in 97
Cooper Green
I was born 97
I can remember every last minute of 9/11. Full detail.
>I remember being 4 years old and asking myself "Why did the building fall like that?"
Jonathan Scott
No.
Unlike Sup Forums I'm not a self hating Millennial. Ascribing the traits of some to the traits of all is retarded.
The whiny special snowflake Millennials you see on the news are a MINORITY of our group, but Fox News and Infowars like the cherrypick and make it seem like we're all like that.

Wrong, 90's and up are millennials.
70's to the 80's are generation x. If you argue that, you're a stupid twat.
Kayden Jones
Same 97 I remember because my brothers birthday got interrupted don't remember much else though
Nathan Turner
I would say it goes beyond social media since it includes people born in the 80's and instead is a catch-all term for people who grew up around and therefore comfortable with computers

Connor Nguyen
>100244524 Forget Millenials. WE need to be prepared for the mexican generation. Thanks to Obama and the democrats, in about 10 years time we'll see record numbers of natural born us citizens identifying as mexican-americans. RECORD numbers. And they will impregnate white and black women alike, making some new hybrid race of people.

Really man? I've never been friends with a right-wing person. All centrists with some liberal beliefs. Get a hobby gaming, sports whatever easy way to make friends.
Jaxon Perez
After 1995 or 1996 they don't remember 9/11. 9/11 is the event that binds us American millennials together, we can all remember where we were that day.
You Bongs wouldn't understand how our country changed for the worse after that

i like the 1975-2000 range. there is alot of overlap with defining the late 70's and early 80's. 70's and 80's, like another user said, have always been Gen X. Now they've been moving the group timeframes around, and they're calling 70's 80's' 90's people 'millenial'.

It's almost like these "generation" things are utterly fucking meaningless.
Robert Wood
The 70's definitely is not millenial. There's not even the beginnings of a case to make for it.
Ethan Harris
I was born in 1989 and have never, in any context, been considered generation X.
A generation is usually named by the era in which they "came of age," generally aged 12-18.
Jason Parker
ITT: >My generation is better
Newsflash: every generation says that. They're all equally terrible for different reasons because we're all terrible people. Especially those of us on Sup Forums.
Asher Allen
Why should memory of the attacks determine the generational cutoff? That's not how it works, every generation is supposed to be about 20 years.
Kayden Mitchell

Only Millennials tend to decry their own generation to the point where they try and fuck around with the dates to exclude themselves from parts they dislike -- as if every generation doesn't have its younger/older counterparts.
Accept the fact you're a fucking Millennial and stop fucking crying about it.
Jaxon Baker
No matter who was the best, we can all agree, millenials are the worst!
Jaxon Young

Millennial and Boomers are tied for worst generation modern-early modern times. Here the generation coming up is both the most entitled generation, but also the most ambitious and the most conservative since world war 2. It's going to be a crazy transition of power.

Humans have been piece of shit throughout all of history. Just because someone glorifies themselves on Instagram doesn't make them any worse than some barbaric invader in 1200AD.
Open up any history book and the majority of it revolves around shitty behavior far more brutal than any green haired tattooed lip pierced hipster scumbag could ever do.

Dominic Thompson
It's fucking stupid. I'm 30 years old, how the fuck am I a millennial? If I think of a millenial I think of someone in their mid 20s at most, and the photos you see in articles relating to millenials confirm this is what most people believe as well.
Nolan Fisher
Excuse me, maam, and /or homosexual gentleman, but you forget yourself. You aren't 4channing right. You got into a disagreement and then qualified yourself to support your stance. But this is not reddit or your regular facebook/pinterest/cooking forum discussion. No one gives a fuck. I could be half naked on my bed in my boxers and I probably am. But I've never given you any cause to believe I'm pretending to be classy. I'm not a millenial and pajama boy is a grown ass man in pj's. It's fucking retarded. I don't know any men who do this. I know of boys who do and have seen faux men do it on sit-coms for comic relief.
Hudson Mitchell
Born between 1980-1999=millennial
Now shut the fuck up already you retards. And stop making millennial threads 10,000 times a day you faggots. No one gives a shit what generation their born in
Gavin Young
People are complaining about Millenials because they haven't had a chance to grow up yet. Everyone in the 60's complained about all the goddamn hippies, but most of them grew up and eventually became the sticks-in-the-mud that called Gen-X punks "these unruly kids today." Those same punks are now the parents of millenials, and look where we are. It's cyclical.

I turned 18 in 2000. I'm part of the first wave of millennials.
This shit is not by decade its generational.

You didn't watch it in class unless it was recorded and the teacher showed it later (which may have happened, but most didn't because people died). That's one of the most commonly mis-remembered events in recent history. Odds are you saw it on the news later.

>1980-1999=millennial
People born in the 1980s lived a vastly different life than the people born in 1999. I doubt 1999s ever heard of dial up or ever used a VCR.
Jonathan Campbell
you are like 12
Carson Parker
This 'generation' shit is all bullshit.
I meet 13 year olds every day with a better attitude than most 'boomers'. Sure, different generations have somewhat different shared experiences, like kids today having phones with HD cameras in school, but the variations between individual experiences are large enough that they reduce the generational similarities to meaninglessness.
Begone spooks!
Connor Martinez
If you don't remember 9/11 you are not a millennial
Jace Miller
This makes sense. Millennials should be people who lived and grew up and lived in at the turn of the century, not people who were born before it.
Jack Barnes
>This makes sense.
It really doesn't. 1999ers are very very different that someone born in 1980. Its about the cultural and technological changes each experienced.
Millenials = 1992 to 2002
