Similarly, if you're born at the tail end of Millenial/start of Gen Z, then you still grew up with a collage of 90s and 00s culture and inconography, offsetting the definitions the groups typically gain over time. Some Gen Z grew up into adolescence without really feeling the advent of the modern internet or social media. The end of that range never knew a world without it.

Generations are useful statistical groupings, but don't represent individual experiences or influences, leading to disparity or outliers that feel excluded from their "peers" so to speak. I'd say I probably share more experiences with Gen Z, but a lot of the cultural aspects of my childhood are closely linked to later Millenial ones. There's a gradient, not a cutoff.

Im sorry to burst your bubble, but if you are a "couple of decades" ahead of the youngest 28 yo millennial, you are GenX and no millennial whatsoever.
