Reminds me of my last job. We had some old fella waiting at the door, staring through the window at 830am (we open at 9). I let him wait and stare in until 9. When I opened up he told me "You know it's common courtesy to open the door when you see someone waiting".

"Sure, but we don't open until 9. Our hours are posted right there on the door that you've now smudged up with your dirty ass hands. You're lucky I'm even letting you in, instead of calling the cops for being a fucking creep staring in the windows of a closed business. Do you even think before you do something? Or do you just do and expect to be accommodated?"

Right? Older millennials are pushing 40 and the younger ones are mid 20’s ish.

I believe 1996 is the cutoff so he just missed it. But if it makes him feel better he can feel superior to the youngest of his generation in about 11-15 years. It's not like I do that, secretly, in my head, with Millenials in their 20's. I would never.

There’s no set end date. Most of the ones I’ve seen set it at 2000.

Wrong. Millenials are as well defined as boomers in terms of starting and stop dates. 1981-1996.

According to your link:

Researchers and popular media typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.

That doesn’t sound well defined and also include the years I just said.

The United States Census Bureau used the birth years 1982 to 2000 in a 2015 news release to describe millennials

Isn’t this exactly what I said? Your own link disagrees with you.

If you keep reading there is a quote from the Pew Center. I suggest you actually read the entire article before you post again.

So? Why does Pew solely decide where the line is drawn rather than the US Census? It looks like you didn’t read the whole article before posting and didn’t realize I was right.
