Census Bureau has defined baby boomers as anyone born between 1946-1964, but the generations that followed have existed on a perpetually sliding scale. In his piece, Dimock admits that "generational cutoff points aren't an exact science," especially when talking about younger cohorts. We will consider those born from 1997 onward as part of a new, post-Millennial generation. "Anyone born between 19 (ages 22-37 in 2018) will be considered a millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward will be part of a new generation."ĭefining generations: Starting today, Pew Research Center will define Millennials as those born between 19. "In order to keep the millennial generation analytically meaningful, and to begin looking at what might be unique about the next cohort, Pew Research Center will use 1996 as the last birth year for millennials for our future work," Pew Research Center president Michael Dimock wrote.
On Thursday, though, the Pew Research Center staked out clear in and out points for who is and isn't a millennial. (All of that's generation-war propaganda, by the way.) But like most generational tags, the boundaries of millennial-dom are fungible based on who's defining the term.
It's not always an easy question to answer-not insignificantly because older folks have loaded the term with so many negative stereotypes: Millenials are coddled millennials are entitled, millennials are snowflakes. It's a favorite parlor game of people of a certain age: Find the young people and ask them, "Are you a millennial?"
