    I was born in 98, it’s just that some people are insistent millennial ends at the year 2000, while others insist on 1996.

    I’ve also heard whether or not you remember 9/11 as the benchmark, and I do, but only barely because I didn’t know what was actually happening.

    There’s also some who say it’s whether or not you remember the turn of the millennium, which I don’t because I was 2.

    The generation borders are just so fuzzy that I’m often tempted to just go with “zillennial,” but for some reason people think that’s offensive because it “alienates gen Z” or something.

      Not only was the definition fuzzy. But it also depends on location with rural areas lagging behind urban.
