Feh... I'm 39 and most of the "I ..." statements in that article rang true for me. I don't think being a "Millennial" or not has as much to do with things as the author believes.

Likewise, most of the quoted stereotypes about millennials were once said about "Gen Y" and "Gen X" kids as well.

Millenials are Gen Y: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Y

So this is referring to people born in the 80's and onwards. You're close but I guess it probably does apply to the late Gen X'ers as well.

Interesting, I could have sworn I'd seen some definitions that broke "Millennials" down as a smaller (and younger) group than "Gen Y." Oh well, sociology isn't my field. :-)
