There’s a certain amount of slippage at the boundaries, as when you’re that close to them a large factor of which generation you fall into depends on who your peers are and how your life choices have panned out, I think. For example, if you’re at the early end of the Gen Y boundary - so, 1980 - then you could be Gen X if you got through education and on the housing ladder early, say. However, taking your time to get through education, deferring buying a house, then you’re definitely millennial.
I’d like to find out who created the term and shove a Christmas cracker where the sun doesn’t shine.

There’s also another called Generation Alpha after Gen Z born in the last 5 years, basically born into the tech world where you have babies/toddlers knowing how to use a phone, their first car will be electric or possibly pay a subscription to share one.
You used to have broadband that relied on cables back in your day why didn’t you just use the 6G?
Hmm. I remember dial up, but never used Napster. My first couple of phones were Nokia bricks with snake, but I moved onto touch screen phones, and then smartphones, fairly quickly.
I had it this week, ‘aren’t you a bit old to be a Monzo customer’? At which point, I slammed down my copy of Q and complained loudly.
But in all seriousness, I’d love to see the stories behind the older generations who use Monzo as their main accounts, think Tom has mentioned users in their 70’s and 80’s, and seeing those stories would start to pop some of these ‘penniless millennium’ tropes about the bank.
