Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996.
Gen Z:
~1995~2013
Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years.
I was born in 98, it’s just that some people are insistent millennial ends at the year 2000, while others insist on 1996.
I’ve also heard whether or not you remember 9/11 as the benchmark, and I do, but only barely because I didn’t know what was actually happening.
There’s also some who say it’s whether or not you remember the turn of the millennium, which I don’t because I was 2.
The generation borders are just so fuzzy that I’m often tempted to just go with “zillennial,” but for some reason people think that’s offensive because it “alienates gen Z” or something.

~1995~2013Now don’t forget it, culture wars are important!

It’s so Gen Z to feel alienated for that. :p
Not only was the definition fuzzy. But it also depends on location with rural areas lagging behind urban.
