Reminder:Millennials are currently between 22 and 37 years old. The oldest have at least 15 years of work experience; the youngest have just graduated from college.If you wish to discuss the current cohort of teenagers, the term you want is iGen.Early Millennials are borderline Gen X'ers. Late Millennials are borderline iGen'ers.For example, I was born in 1983 and can remember the end of the 80s, MTV with actual music on it, George H. W. Bush being POTUS, Gorbachev and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Late Millennials won't remember any of that, and might not even remember 9/11, since the youngest of them would've only been 5 years old at the time, whereas I was 18.

If your birth date is in June of 1988, you are basically the prototypical Millennial; exactly in the middle of the range.

@thor iGen, now that's an ageist slur if ever I heard one. Anyway, they're not old enough to be screwing things up just yet so I'm going to carry on talking shit about millennials.

@thor In Canada the most common term I've heard for the new crop is Gen-Z

@Douglewars Feels inconsistent to not then also say Gen Y instead of Millennials...
