Same for me with Millennials. I am technically a Millennial by 2 and a half months or so (I was born fairly late 1996), but also a Zillennial, a sub gen (born 1992/3 to 1998).
I relate to the youngest Millennials and a couple years into Gen Z more than I do someone born, say 1981 to 1986. That works going the other way too, as starting around the birth years 2000 or so, I deffo feel a disconnect starting to grow.
ALL of the above are generalisations, of course, as individuals can and do vary.
I am not even a typical 1996 born, as I skipped multiple grades in school, so the core school classmate friends I have are 1992 (even a few 1991) to 1994, 1995-borns.
2001, 2002 born and onward Gen Zers (especially American ones) too often have an anti-Millennial bias now, and lump us all together. The oldest Millennials often tend to look at me as a Gen Zer, so also some occasional antagonism. I think a lot of it all is spun up, manipulated bullshit to divide us, but it does exist. Reddit can be a wee nightmare in some of the Gens subs.
I also have to add that much of all this is mostly online, not as much in real life, at least for me.
