I'm right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90's. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.
Millenial
I'm on the cusp of genZ and Millennial, but I feel much more Millennial. I speculate that this is because of how I related to technology growing up.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who is like me, on the cusp, but feels gen Z rather than Millennial, and why
That might be me. I'm a millennial by age, but I have always been keeping up with the newer tech. My father worked for Microsoft so we always had the new stuff as soon as it was available. And I'm a weirdo little autistic trans girl, so I didn't really socialize that much with my own age group even when it was an option.
Supposedly Gen Z due to being from 99.
Don't feel like them though. More like a very young millenial.
Late 70โs.
No clue. Everyone called me a millennial until they started calling me gen Z.
I consider myself an older millennial as people born until the late 90โs are still considered millennials.
GenZ
A big tech transition generation.
X.
older millennial
edit: this being downvoted is the most hilarious thing I've seen on lemmy
I'm born in 98' so I'm right down the middle but generally classed as the last of the millennials.
I feel a lot closer to zoomers, but where I'm from, I think the people who have fast-tracked adulthood with kids and mortgages are textbook millennials where as layabouts like myself share a lot more spaces with young adult zoomers.
I'm already needing to remind myself that some of the deepest internet brainrot like skibidi toilet is not a new phrase but a meme of the hour started by generation alpha and then carried by confused millennials.

I'm from generation "Get those damn kids off my lawn!"
Somewhat elder millennial.
gen Z but i feel a lot more like a millenial
This separation into "generations" is such bullshit. It's just another way to divide the haves from the have-nots. If you blindly believe that generations define you, you're the problem. You're making it easy to be controlled and find another person to concentrate on while your rights, your liberties, your opportunities, and your privacy get slowly taken away from you.
