Fits many of the best other tests and resolve the problem of boomers having 19 years v 16 for Gen X and that fueling boomers’ use of generation ranges to assert their cultural dominance and persistence. Similarly the correct and obvious best choice for end of millennials/start of Gen Z is were old enough to vote on Election Day 2016.

Everything about millennialism, at least from credible sources, supports the class that graduated in 2000 as the start of the millennials. That's not meant to be a slight to anyone. Just the truth. But I can see how a genxer who misses the cutoff could feel hurt |

Date: April 23rd, 2026 3:27 PM Author: White vivacious cumskin The bulk of the 1980 Gen X cutoff influence/sentiment originates with Pew, which had an obvious incentive to push the “big boomer gen dominates tiny Gen X” narrative. The other main source is this dumb “challenger explosion” test, which is self-obsessed boomers tying the definition to themselves/their perception and their infantilization of Gen X (ie construing all of Gen X as confused and scared kindergarteners, while a 1965er was a sophomore in college). The much better tests around 9/11 (did you go to sleep in your parents house that night ie did you see the people in the towers as peers of your parents or as if they could have been people your age like college interns, and did you process the event with peers away from parents v with your parents), and the early 90s cultural touchstones when Gen X first claimed the cultural center from the boomers. All of those put 81 in Gen X. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859697&forum_id=2:#49837597) |

Look bro it's called "millennial" because the Gen turned 18 in 2000. That's the Entire Point. Some Frauds tried to later back-revise it to 1981 because they wanted Gen Z to start in 1996 for Aesthetics, and you're not allowed to have a Gen less than 15 years. You and ggtp are btfo itt imo |

Date: April 24th, 2026 6:16 AM Author: Razzmatazz knife Reagan's 1981 budget bill was the last time we tried to be truly fiscally responsible. By 1982, facing disastrous polling, Reagan pivoted to "borrow and spend". This abandonment by the GOP of fiscal conservatism, still with us today, made them the deepstate allies of big-gov libs. That cabal has created the debt albatross that will destroy American millennials for decades to come.
