It makes no sense for it to be so broad. People born in the early 80s had completely differente childhoods and teenage years from people born in the late 90s/early 2000s. Technology from 1995-2000 feels so ancient nowadays. No way in hell me, a 25 year old born in 1990 is part of the same generation as a 15 year old born in 2001.

Yeah, the idea that GenY is a Millennial, is bullsh*t. Boomers, GenX, GenY, Millennial's, GenZ.

They are all VERY different folks. I clash with most of y'all on issues due largely to being a GenY dude. I was well into College before internet was a thing, which is a hollow statement unless you were there too, a lot like kids today unable to imagine a world without facebook. Many of you probably don't remember a time when even the word Gay, the very idea or mention of it, would get you into a fight. Millenials embrace the word; my generation broke your nose.

The differences are massive, shouldn't be lumped together.

Jesus. I was in NY when it was the corrupt hell of the early 80's. Now it's freaking Disneyland.
