I don't accept the idea of cusps because I'm born outside the XY cusp yet have done many of the things in childhood and teens that pure Millennials supposedly have not done. Since it says I haven't done these things because I was born outside of the range it means the cusp is garbage. If I have experienced these things that "core Millennials" supposedly haven't then what makes me different from this supposed cusp range? I read an article on the cusp and experienced those very same things. This means the category is arbitrary and artificial.
All T4T categories are general, not all-inclusive. Many people experience life events that don't fit the mold of the time or be non-conforming to the defined archetype of their generation. That's not unusual. If that applied to all, or even most people in a generation, then you really would have a case for arbitrary behavior.
Except this is how it's used in the real world. In the real world a bunch of people like to shout and generalize about experiences or what you think or believe. It's used for the blame game most of all.
