    One Thing That Millennials Don't Have…

    …is the mistaken belief that "Millennial" refers to people aged around 18 to 24.

    It refers to people who came of age around the millennium, not people who were born then. So their age now is around 36.

    Sorry, but you'll need to find a different cliché to use in your tired old whining about people who are much younger and better-looking than you

          Unless of course we stick to the accepted facts.

            Millennials were born in 1982 so they were 18 in the year 2000

                  As we're nearly at the end of the alphabet now, using "X", I suggest anyone born after say 2020 should be called Generation A.

                  Also, why are crumblies called the "Silent" generation? They certainly haven't all popped off, anything but. So is it because they don't whine and complain?

                    The Post-Millenial band seems a bit wide to me. Should it be 1997-2012? Could those 2013 onwards be post-post-millenial?

                    And what about those born pre 1928? Like Zeity.....
