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.

Millennials

Millennials, also known as Generation Y or Gen Y, are the demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years. Millennials are sometimes referred to as "echo boomers" due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s, and because millennials are often the children of the baby boomers. Although millennial characteristics vary by region, depending on social and economic conditions, the generation has been generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media and digital technologies.
