The oldest Milliennials will be turning 40 this year...

Stears turned 40 in March. How is he a Millenial? I always saw him as Gen X. He has nothing to do with Millenials. Millenials are my generation.

It's according to the official break down of generations.

Millennials: 1981-2000

What? After 1995 are Gen Z already.
Millenials are late 80s and early 90s

Millennials are basically the new boomers.

Official estimate for millennials is 1981-1996 I think. But some sites change the cut off to 1995. 1995 definitely isn't comfortably gen z, its either the last year of millennial or first year of gen z. Pew research has millennials as 1981-1996. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...tion-z-begins/

For the record, I am born late 1995. I definitely feel closer to gen Z than millennials (though I guess I am a Zillenial/cusp either way). I grew up 100% with the internet for example, since we had a family pc from when I was age 2, and I feel that's a big dividing line between millennials/zoomers.

I dont take human who was born before 2000 seriously.

Gen X? Not really, they were called the "slacker" generation. Sure, they may not be as fragile as Millennials, but they were first to moan and groan about Baby Boomers and blame others for their problems.

Sorry, but neoliberal capitalism likes to try to blame the individual for societal problems it creates. Baby boomers ARE THE PROBLEM IN FUCKING REALITY :

The sociopaths’ goal is to wring every last dollar from the system, and any investment that could not be fully realized within Boomer lifetimes was to be avoided. Therefore, the nation’s infrastructure, built by the Boomers’ parents and once the world’s finest, was allowed to decay. Henceforth, state-sponsored research would be radically curtailed. Higher education was neglected; the Boomers had their cost-free diplomas in hand, so meaningful reform and costly subsidies were no longer relevant... Unlike acid rain, which had immediate impacts on Boomers’ quality of life and was therefore swiftly addressed, climate change is a problem whose consequences will fall most heavily on other generations, so far too little has been done.

In A Generation of Sociopaths, Gibney examines the disastrous policies of the most powerful generation in modern history, showing how the Boomers ruthlessly enriched themselves at the expense of future generations.

Acting without empathy, prudence, or respect for facts--acting, in other words, as sociopaths--the Boomers turned American dynamism into stagnation, inequality, and bipartisan fiasco. The Boomers have set a time bomb for the 2030s, when damage to Social Security, public finances, and the environment will become catastrophic and possibly irreversible--and when, not coincidentally, Boomers will be dying off.

Gibney argues that younger generations have a fleeting window to hold the Boomers accountable and begin restoring America.

1981 is surely Gen X though, at least in eastern Europe. Stears (born that year) was born and grew up behind Iron Curtain for God's sake. His childhood has nothing in common with real Millenials in USA.
His generation was full of skinheads and they listened to Techno.

My generation already is pretty removed from that.

As a Zoomer, I'll say this: up until now, we're not as bad as Millennials. At all. Let's hope it remains that way
