7. Most put 1996 as the last year that Millennials were born in.

I tried to convince my niece and nephew (1997 and 1999) that they were Millennials (on the grounds that they were under 18 when the millennium happened) and they were outraged - they see themselves definitely as Gen Z, on the grounds that they were too young to remember the millennium happening.

2002 is the latest I've ever seem claimed for a Millennial. Using the usual 1996 definition, this is their 3rd presidential election.
