Those people mostly are born with Uranus in Aquarius (1996-2003). Pew has designated them as the start of Gen Z. But in fact the members of the previous group born under this sign in 1912-1919 were the group that produced John F Kennedy and Nelson Mandela. I agree this could be the most civically-aware of any of the younger groups. They are all Millennials; the final group of them this time around.
The exact dates touted by S&H as Millennials, 1982-2003, is correct as I see it, but a designation as 1981-2002 is only one year different. And this is natural, as cusps do exist, even though not mentioned by S&H since they wanted to lay down their pattern in a definite way. But certainly, a generation does not magically begin on January 1st of any particular year. The calendar does not have that much power.
