    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.
