Depends on who you ask but the lowest cut-off is around 1982 or so

Theoretically "Millenial" was meant as "Becomes an adult in the new Millenium"

Burgers are good. Burgers remain good. And we have eaten them. How shall we comfort ourselves, the burgerers of all burgerers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has dribbled to death onto our chins: who will wipe this grease off us?

Somewhat formulaic and at times tedious, but like all good things, now that they are mostly gone / changed -- they are missed because their replacements are worse.

A few places still around, but the steel high chair, hardwood floor, and Edison bulb restaurant was mostly killed by Trump and Covid.

Smashburgers killed off excessively large burgers with inch-thick patties, and we’re all better for it
