Are you a Millennial (aka Gen Y) — or part of Generation X? Well, to answer it simply, you’re technically a millennial if you were born between 1982 and 2002, and Generation X if you were born between 1965 and 1984. It sounds easy enough, right? Only a couple of years of overlap, but this isn’t a Show More
Are you a Millennial (aka Gen Y) — or part of Generation X? Well, to answer it simply, you’re technically a millennial if you were born between 1982 and 2002, and Generation X if you were born between 1965 and 1984. It sounds easy enough, right? Only a couple of years of overlap, but this isn’t a perfect science.
We can’t all neatly fit within certain stereotypes of what each generation does. Gen X’ers get a bad rap for being cynical about absolutely everything and millennials are constantly getting dragged for being vapid and entitled and neither of those statements are entirely true all of the time. So, clearly we all know it’s all a little more nuanced than that, right? You — like most of us — could also fall in some grey area in between. After all, it’s hard to categorize someone born 20 years before you as part of your generation, technically speaking. What gives? Once and for all, let’s figure out what percentage Gen X and Millennial you really are with this quiz!
