I mean look at the posts above, someone born in 1980 is called Gen X in some definitions and Millennial in others. I identify myself as more millennial because I grew up with personal PCs, using a Tandy 1000 at kindergarten age and advancing from there including using the internet in the mid-90s. But most lists call me a Gen X, hence my opinion on the validity of those lists.
