Ever wondered what a “Millennial” really is, and, more importantly, if you are one? You’re not alone! It’s a term thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean?
Well, let’s clear it up! Most researchers and demographers agree that Millennials, also known as Generation Y, were typically born between the years 1981 and 1996. That’s right, if you came into the world during this 15-year window, congratulations, you’re a Millennial!
So, why these specific years? It’s not just random! This generation grew up alongside the incredible rise of the internet and digital technology. They also experienced major global events, like 9/11, during their formative years, and often faced unique economic shifts such as the Great Recession. These shared experiences helped shape their outlook and behaviors.
While there can be slight variations depending on the source, the 1981 to 1996 range is the most widely accepted. So, whether you’re an older Millennial hitting your early forties, or a younger one in your late twenties, you’re part of this fascinating and impactful generation!
