Once and for all. Each generation is 18 years. Boomers begin at the end of WW2 is the point of reference.

1946-1963: Boomers

1964-1981: Gen X

1982-1999: Gen Y / millenials

2000-2017: Gen Z / doomers

Each can be subdivided into 3 tiers of 6 years: older, middle, younger.

18 is perfect because it is the age of majority in most places, it is superdivisible, and it makes consistent generations lengths.

People born in the 60s who were always considered Gen Xers started to be bundled with the boomers.

I am born in the 80s and was always considered a millenial. Just recently ppl started to bundle us with Gen Xers.

Changing definitions to fit your narrative has to stop. This is the same trick the State does to the definition of vaccines, unemployment, inflation.
