Generations are not absolute, they are fluid as they are more of a cultural/mindset thing.

I would argue they were also slightly shifted, until the 2 great unifiers.

The best definition I heard is millennials are too young to remember the Challenger and old enough to remember 9/11.


Which is a very US-centric viewpoint. I agree on 9-11 being the great unifier, in that together with the internet, it streamlined Western culture. I would say that to us Europeans, the culture bubble I had my formative years in was between the fall of the wall and 9-11.

I also feel like "Millennial" is more of an insult aimed at (a sub-set of) Gen Y by older generations, for having ideas so opposite to their own. Those ideas make me say I am late Gen X to early Gen Y mindset-wise, but still absolutely opposite on the things that are supposed to mainly identify "Millennials".
