Thank you! I am so tired of having this argument with people. Defining a group of people with ages spanning 30 some-odd years as one cohort is both absurd and maddening. This is so perfectly articulated and now I have something to link to in lieu of frantically waving my arms around in frustration everytime I try to explain to someone that being born in 1986 does not make me a millenial. Granted the kind of people who refuse to see the difference between Generation Y and Millenial are also likely to refuse to read this article all the way through. It’s not even a nuanced difference! I don’t understand why it’s not obvious. How can you lump a generation of kids who coveted pagers and Lisa Frank notebooks in with a generation who can’t remember a time when electronics didn’t start with a lower case ‘i’ and probably couldn’t figure out what to do with a Skip-It?
