The opinions on what counts as what tend to differ, but I mostly see millenials as considered to have been born after 1980.

It's funny, because having been born in 1980, I only qualify as Gen-X in the most technical sense. But I fully feel like I am one despite most others being at least a few years older than me.

I think that's because of my upbringing. My entire youth was houses, TV shows, movies, clothing, and cars that were 10 years behind the times.

Sure, when I watched The Jeffersons, Gilligan's Island, 3's company, Cheers, Charlie's Angels, etc, they were re-runs on TBS/TNT. But those were basically the only channels I was allowed to watch. There was no MTV allowed in our house. Too 'secular' and 'dirty.'

So while my friends were talking about Friday the 13th movies or The Wizard, I was talking about Logan's Run and getting funny looks.

Also I'm convinced that in the 1980's all thrift store clothing was required to be at least ten years old.
