From Wiki:
Millennials - "demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years"
Gen Z - "demographers and researchers typically use the mid-1990s to mid-2000s as a starting birth years"
That's bull.

It is bull, because it's inaccurate. I have yet to come across a survey that considers those born in late 90s and early 2000s "millennials". It doesn't make sense, because those born in late 90s were infants during the turn of the millennia, and those born in early 2000s weren't even alive.

Defining element of Generation Z is exposure to internet throughout their lives. Wi-Fi became widely available in 2004, so the children who started their intellectual journeys from that point onwards are Generation Z. Cut off point is probably 1994 or 1995, but there's no consensus about the exact year.

Which is funny because a person born in 1982 for example has lived in a very different world than one who was born in 1998. How could they belong to the same generation?

Hello :hello:

And you're right. Can't group early 1980'ers with late 90'ers, doesn't make sense.

Many, many defining moments in modern history took place between, say, 1989 and 2005.
 
Again, that already doesn't happen. Researchers don't group early 80'ers with late 90'ers. The information on Wiki is inaccurate, or based on negligibly few and far between cases.
 
Those terms are useless anyway, since people vary so much that it's impossible to categorize them solely based on their age.

That guy's case might have some interesting repercussions. Can 12-year-olds identify themselves as 22, so that they can have alcohol?

Can a 14 year old girl identify as 18 so that her school teacher doesn't get put on the sex offenders register for their affair?
