20. Gen Z (I am right on the border between the 2, born in December 1995) comes after

Millennial for me (and a lot of others) means born 1981 to 1995 or 1996 (I prefer 1995 because that is a 15 year span)

I have seen it taken up to being born in 2000, even 2005 but that makes little sense to me.

Buttigieg was 16, 17, and 18 from January 1, 1999 to January 1, 2001. That certainly makes him still in his formulative years during the actual millennium flip (whether you think that happened Jan 1, 2000 or, like I do, January 1, 2001). I remember it, just not at a fully-formed adult level.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Like what I've seen of Pete, but wonder if he'd be cut-throat enough in the general election AdamGG Apr 2019 #11

Valid concerns. WeekiWater Apr 2019 #14

Referring to him as a Millennial is really pushing the definition, lol. Instant Liberal Apr 2019 #16
