last year for Civic births is 2004, you're in firmly my squad bro (1991 Millennial here. guess that makes me middle wave and you late wave)

The divide is somewhere in the middle of 2002, depending on location and individual factors, with a hard limit at November 3, 2002 being the last day a Millennial could be born.

That's a tad deterministic, don't you think?  History is not determinant like physics or chemistry.  There is no magic formula that makes it all clear.  We can agree that the 2002-4 timeframe marks the end of the Millennial generation (in most places -- there are bound to be exceptions) but driving a stake in the ground and declaring a distinct difference on each side can't make sense.  The idea of cusps has been well established in the S&H framework; members of the ~2001-5 cohorts will be cuspy by definition.  

History never changes that fast unless something of a catastrophic nature occurs.  Nothing like that happened anytime in the near vicinity except 9/11, and no one claims that as definitive anymore.
