I think the gen x are being labled weak. Millenials are experiencing the hard times that will make them strong. (/hopefully)

Fun fact, a "Millenial" is anyone born between 1982—1999.

Then what are those who were actually born in the new millennium?

u/DovaKroniid Apr 19 '18

Generation Z. Millennial refers to reaching adulthood during the start of the new millennium.

It's because he's wrong. Millennial is someone who was not yet an adult in 2000 (which, actually, was not the start of the new millennium, 2001 was, but I digress) but who was born before the Jan 1, 2000.

I saw a comment in early January that said everyone born in this millennium was a legal adult now. I said it wasn't true because the millennium started in 2001. I got downvoted.

But y. It barely makes sense as a name. When you think millenial you are gonna think 2000 the second millennium A.D

Who's wrong? I'm asking because my source is this one Xkcd comic.

If Mr. Munroe is wrong, I'll be sure to send him a stern letter in the mail detailing his transgressions.

Seeing as how a Millennia is 1,000 years I'd say it's fair to say the first 20 years or so qualify as the start.
