2001/2002 looks like a good divide. If born in 2001 one got through high school graduation without any disruption of the usual rites of passage. If born later one might have seen some event from a first communion to high school graduation. including such events as a bar mitzvah or quinceanero, among others. One might have spent some time in "virtual" school. Through age 18 one's activities are likely to be with peers from one's own community; after that (college and work) any such disruption is more strictly individual than collective. Reaching voting age by the time of COVID-19 may be a difference.
