You were born in 1996 and you don't consider yourself Millennial as denoted by being born when the Millennium changed (2000)?

1996 is end millennial, and start gen z.

Though, usually if you got hand me downs as a child, you'd get the same experiences as the people born 3-6 years before you.

That said, I've that splitting people up and putting them into groups like this is a pseudo science over generalization.

Exactly. People are always like "younger generations don't know about x", and it's like bro, I know what AOL, VCR, cassette tapes, antennas, flip phones, rotary phones, landlines, DOS, wax lips, even fucking Garbage Pail Kids and so on are. I've grown up with this shit. It's called being poor and living in the country side. Everything is like 10 years behind minimum.

Ding ding. Most of my early childhood memories are video tapes, Compaq PC that was a big brick, playing PC games with a joystick, a mega drive, a PS1, family trips/holidays in the car. My family did not have a lot of money so everything I grew up with to say when I was 10 was older stuff. I got a CRT for my room from my great aunt that I thought was the shit when I was about 7-9 and that was only really when thinner TV's were becoming a thing. It always amuses me that people want to label me a millennial when I didn't actually turn 18 at the millennial, I remember 90's kid stuff because I grew up with a Gameboy and Pokémon, I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons in the UK. I don't relate much to gen z because the younger end speaks a completely different language to me.

I feel like having millennials cut off before the millennium shift is stupid and nothing you say can change my mind.

Sorry I replied to the wrong comment earlier.

I thought it was based on "became a teenager/young adult" at the turn of the millennium? (I know they've moved the definitions a few times though)
