One thing that all the Millennials have experienced is the creation of the Internet, and how fast it took off.
#DEFINE CLARION DRIVERS#
The youngest Millennials are just getting their drivers licenses. Then you got the youngest age group of the Millennials, who are going through their last years of high school, and starting their new part of their lives in college. Then you’ve got the 1990 through 1995 age group, who are graduating college, are getting through college. Some of these people are getting married, having kids and settling down, but the other half is just getting started on their careers. Then you got those people who are like me, who are in that 1985 through 1990 age group. The are people who are working fulltime jobs and have young families. Generation X and the older Millennials would probably want to call themselves Generation X (people who where born in 1980 through 1985).
#DEFINE CLARION MOVIE#
The “Generation Y” part of the Millennials know the golden rule of watching a VCR tape (and know what a VCR is), that you should “be kind and rewind.” Generation Z, those Millennials who where born in the 1990s, have mostly experienced DVD and Blue Ray movie watching most of their lives. But the Millennials have kids who are younger than me, and know every word to a Jonas Brothers song.
Those who are older than me can probably sing a New Kids on the Block song better than I can. I can probably sing a long with all the NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Spice Girls songs word for word. If you put someone who was born in 1980 with a person who was born in 2001, how much would they have in common? Would each get the other’s pop culture references? Having this 20-year gap within the Millennial generation is a little bit crazy.
Similarly, not all Millennials were old enough to watch new episodes of “Saved By the Bell” on TV. Not all the Baby Boomers were teenagers during the time the Beatles where famous. With Baby Boomers and Millennials having a giant age range of people in it, it’s hard to categorize them into one grouping. The Millennial birth time period is big as the Baby Boomers, which is around a 20 year time period (1946 – 1964). Obvously, there seems to be some gray area in what defines a Millennial.
But a 2016 report by Goldman Sachs has the Millennial generation being born between the years of 1980 to 2000. A 2009 report by MetLife defined the generation between the years of 1977 to 1994. It is the new term for what was once Generation Y. What is a Millennial? That seems to be a hot question right now.
