I hate this. I hate this whole generation thing. I hate how a categorization of cultural and marketing trends came to become important and even definitive outside of marketing and making cultural studies just a tiny bit easier.

I was born in April ‘82, the kids born ten years later are millennials.

I still maintain that anyone who can clearly remember a time with no Internet is not a millennial.

Congratulations are in order, then, for anyone born between 1981 and 1996: You’re officially a millennial (at least, in the eyes of Pew).
