@Liiya I've been watching a random show on Netflix calld "Big Dreams, Small Spaces" and it's starring this guy named Monty Don and everybody seems to be super duper excited and he's apparently the top gardener in the UK and It makes me think of you.
One day, you will have your own TV show with excited people fawning over you and your designs.
Let’s be honest, you’re probably about as wise as like, a good solid, middle aged tree. You know, the kind that doesn’t complain about millennials.
Wait, are millennials middled aged now?

Millennial cutoff is 1981, apparently, and middle-aged is usually 40-45, I believe. So, us millennials just miss middle age for a few more years yet.

Now there is an in between generation which is like (this could be wrong) from like 79-84.
Which might seem overly granular at first blush, but as someone in that range I definitely feel like it makes sense. It basically means you're old enough to remember how things were before the Internet, but young enough that the Internet still shaped your adolescence/teen years. Being even a few years older than that means you were already an adult when the Internet became ubiquitous, and a few years younger means you probably don't remember a world without Internet.
For me at least, that distinction feels meaningful and I definitely feel more a part of that mid group than I do gen-X or millennial.

I actually discovered this a while back apparently the term for this is Xennial, or my favorite, the Oregon Trail Generation. The latter I feel is really descriptive, at least for an American. I don’t know how ubiquitous the Apple 2 in the early years of school were for other countries.
I feel like being a lower middle class rural kid meant, at the time, that everything was five years late
I was definitely watching 80s TV well into the 90s, for example, MacGuyver and a very confusion inducing randomized sequence of the awful Dukes of Hazzard, are the two that come to mind

I'm '85. Do remember pre-internet days. Did not play Oregon Trail. I dunno if it was a thing in the UK.
I mean Oregon Trail was mainly an educational game focused on the exploration and settling of the American West, I'd be pretty surprised if many folks outside the U.S. ever had much experience with it when it was modern.
Personally I know I played it but when it comes to computer games I played at school, I have much stronger memories of DinoPark Tycoon.

I was born in 86, played a ton of Oregon trail and number muncher, as everything else you described
Oregon Trail was great, mostly because it was the only educational game that didn't feel like thinly-veiled homework.

I totally had Apple II’s in class growing up but can’t recall if I ever actually played Oregon Trail. I can’t recall what I did play on there though. I remember playing Sim City on a color Apple later much more vividly.
I was born in 1989 and can barely remember what it was like before we got dial-up internet at home. I think I was 10 when we got it, because that was around the time my parents bought our first home PC. I know we didn't have internet access in my grade school until around the same time as well, but we were using computers well before then, older Intel 486 machines. Being 10, the pre and post internet age transition didn't seem as crazy at the time.
Definitely played Oregon Trail in school.

I remember Oregon Trail and the little Logo programs.
And Gopher. Man I wasted a lot of time with Gopher.
I remember Carmen Sandiago making its way to our PCs at some point.
And then in high school someone managed to get my beta disc for Ultima Online installed on one of the library PCs.
edit: Actually I can't recall if this actually happened or not. I think it did. All I recall is I kind of hated UO even though I was a massive Ultima fan since I was 3.

So at work we're apparently the only building that is meeting or exceeding our cleaning schedule, partially due to a lack of personnel in other buildings, among other issues. This is good... but it also means, if we're TOO efficient, they might make us go help the other buildings which according to my coworkers would be "bad"
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
Alright fuckers, there's a substantial difference between two chicks in bikinis and a freaking football team, and when you call me to report shit, your language should accurately dictate the difference between the two so that i am not hauling ass down the freeway expecting to call the cops on a dozen drunken horny idiots

I feel like in the end what you're going to find is that the tail end of Gen X and the front end of Gen Z are both going to end up under the Millennial umbrella as X Millennials, Y Millennials, and Z Millennials.
Currently my lines are X Millennials are old enough to remember The wall coming down and the fall of the Soviet Union but they don't really remember the Cold War and have no experience with it. On the other end, Z Millennials don't remember 9/11 but experienced things changing as a result and that sort of thing.
Core "Gen Y" Millennials to me are about '85 to '96ish, but the Millennial umbrella covers probably late '79 all the way to '00, culturally speaking. At least here in the US.

I think a big meaningful question for this is when you first got your personal cell phone and when you were first routinely on the internet. Both a big cultural shifts that have happened in our lifetimes.
Did any potential career path become royally fucked due to the recession? If yes, you're probably a millennial.
That completely misses the latter years included in the Millennial timeline that was still in school for the recession. Hell, I was in middle school in 2008.

Well the "came of age during the 00's" seems like a pretty big part of the definition, which can kind of be people born early 80s to mid 90s. But like people born in 98 were 12 in 2010 which doesn't really seem like quite coming of age in the new millennium. American media seems to portray it as anyone born after 1980... Like they call kids that are in grade school now, millennials. I'm pretty sure I have nothing in common with a 5th grader other than that we live in the same country.
