Weve been having a huge argument about what happened to GenY, which i swear was a thing, before they extended the end of gen x and the beginning of gen y to overlap it.
Yeah, originally, there were some people using the term Gen Y, but Millennial took prominence over it… but the alphabetical framework remained, which is how we now have Gen Z / Zoomers, and Gen A / Alpha.
I’m not … sure if I technically count as an ‘elder millenial’.
I lived through less than 2 years of the 80s.
Was born when the Soviet Union still existed, but nooooot for very much longer.
But I did try to keep up with ‘the cool kids’, and was… very, very much more of an early adopter of all kinds of tech than even most of the other nerds my age.
I’m GenX. Seems the elder Millennials and us are basically on the same page culturally.

It was renamed “millennial”?
