I think I used to hear that, too, but I searched when writing the comment and found the consensus is now 1981. But then, people I know who were born in 1979 have so much more in common with elder Millennials than Generation X people born in the 1960's. That's why I'm skeptical of the whole generations concept. I mean, without looking up her birth date, is Kamala Harris a Boomer, or GenX?
Yeah I'm an older millennial and there are things I don't have in common with younger ones.
Kamala just slips in as a boomer technically, by like a year or something.
