I’m currently 19, (born 2001) and although S&H suggest that I should be a millennial, it doesn’t feel right that I’m in the same generation as 39 year olds. Even worse, I cannot imagine current 16 year olds (born in 2004) to be in the same generation either. At the same time, I don’t believe that the 3T ended until perhaps 2017 or even has just ended this year. Does anyone here share this cognitive dissonance?
I agree: People 22/23 and under today are definitely *not* Millenials, they are Zoomers.
In hindsight, people born in the late 70s through to about 1990 share a common childhood, and seem to be very similar.
From about 1990 on, there is a different flavor of millenial.
People born from 1997 on onwards are definitely a different generation.
Maybe a good updated generation list looks something like this:
Boomer 1945-1960
X 1961-1976
Millenial 1977-1992
Zoomer 1993-2009
