    I’m a 1995 kid and I think of myself as being right at the tail-end of what can reasonably be called a millenial

      Yeah, my GF and I were born in 96 but both in fairly rural areas so our experience aligns more with being millennial. I think it depends a lot on the context of your personal upbringing, but I definitely agree with your sentiment.

        If you were old enough to grasp how 9/11 changed the world as we know it and have clear memories from that day, you’re a millennial. If you had to be taught about it then you’re not.

        Everyone has their own definition but that’s always been the cutoff that’s stuck with me.

          I very clearly remember the day and am pretty right down the middle millenial but no way in hell did I understand the ultimate consequences of it.

      '94, I grew up being told I was a millenial, now people scoff and inform me that I am actually a ZILLENIAL

      it’s all made up
