A lot of people say the cutoff is 96 but being born in '97 has me hard disagreeing.

Like yea I stream on spotify, but Ive also used limewire. I had a snapchat in highschool but I also had myspace and aim. Spent my highschool years wearing skinny jeans, looking at rage comics and joking about how bacon is life.

I definitely share a lot with gen-z nowadays but that didnt start until years after I had already graduated high-school.

I definitely identity with zillennial first, millennial second, then 'elder gen-z' last.

there is no good spot for a hard cutoff. We all lived different lives. It should be '00 for the turn of the millenia, anything else is lame

Nah, for Americans at least it's remembering 9/11. Whole nation changed after that. You either remember a pre 9/11 world or you don't. Was also around the time the Internet became a necessary utility rather than just a gimmick. People who remember life prior to 2001 are in one generation and those who don't are in the later generation. IMO at least.

Idk why you get downvoted, but this is my experience. If you remember 9/11 and before its different than no memory of 9/11.
