I don't consider myself a millennial

Was it a water birth? Then millennial.

I think it's early 1980's, so yes

I've always heard that 1985 was the dividing year.

If the third digit is an 8 or 9 you're a millennial. Or really f'in old!

My brother was born in 81 and he is definitely NOT a millenial

1961 to 1981 is Gen X.

In 2013, a global generational study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers with the University of Southern California and the London Business School defined Millennials as those born between 1980 and 1995.[25]
In May 2013, a Time magazine cover story identified Millennials as those born from 1980 or 1981 to 2000.[26]
In 2014, the Pew Research Center, an American think tank organization, defined "adult Millennials" as those who were 18 to 33 years old, born 1981–1996.[27] And according to them, the youngest Millennials are still "in their teens" with "no chronological end point set for them yet".[27]
Also, in 2014, a comparative study from Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research was released which studies Millennials compared to other generations in the workplace. This study described "Millennial" birth years between 1980–1996.[28] Gallup Inc. which is a large company that does polling, also tends to use 1980-1996 as birth years.

I've always read that the cutoff is 1980.

I was born in 81. I identify as X but it's a weird spot. We were the laSt group of people to go to school without the Internet and remember the cold war. We came off age after 9/11. I think people born between 79 and 86 are a generation unto themselves. I've heard it called the Oregon Trail Generation

My oldest was born in 81. I read where 1980 and up was millenial.

HeLl my first experience with the Internet was pre Web. There was usenet, telnet, FTP and Gopher.
I used to call BBSs with my 56K modem and pissed my dad off because he was waiting on a call.
There were no MMORPGS there MUDS and MUSHs

84. Damnit, I guess I'm a Millenial?
Posted on 4/2/16 at 7:35 pm to miketiger
They called us the millenials because we graduated high on the year before and after the Millennium change.

1961? I always heard 1965.

Who came up with that dumb name?
Posted on 4/2/16 at 7:41 pm to Easy
I have heard both. Years ago when Douglas Coupland's book came out he marked it at 1961 because generations are generally assumed to run in twenty year increments roughly. But I have seen 1965 used as a starting year as well.
