(54,921 posts)We have elements of both Gens due to our cusp births.
I do not relate all that much to early born Millennials (say 1981 to 1986 or so), and also do not relate all that much to post 2000 born Gen Zers.
I also have a not so common background which pushes me more towards the Millennial typology, as I skipped multiple grades in the British school system (I was born in Los Angeles, but left before I turned 2 and was raised in west London mostly). I also started uni less than 2 months before I turned 15 (due to the skipped grades), so most of my classmates since I was 9, 10, 11yo or so have been 2, 3, or even (in uni) 4 or 5 years older than me. I find the birth-years I relate to the most are around 1992 to 1997/1998 born (which are the same birth years as my micro Gen, called Zillennials or Zennials).
I would say I am 2/3rds to 3/4ers 'last halfish' millennial in outlook, and 1/3rd to a quarter early Gen Z in outlook.
Obviously this all is pretty inexact, as people mature at different ages, and also have incredible variety in all things to do with their lives.
