Hey, thanks! I don't recall we used to agree on much, but it's nice we're on the same page about this.
The way I see it is pretty simple really, provided you don't fall into the trap of overambitious exactitude (certainly not saying I'm innocent in that department):
Xers: People born in the 60's and 70's (The Awakening)
Millennials: People born in the 80's and 90's (The Unraveling)
Zeders: People born in the 00's and 10's (The Crisis)
If anything, the start date of the Millennial generation and Generation Z would be slightly slanted to the previous decade, i.e beginning to be born in the late 70's and late 90's, respectively.
Every time period believes the Crisis "is now".
