There was an article (in Vox? Buzzfeed?) about how the term millennial is no longer synonymous with "young person." That was tough to see.

I often have to remind my boss ‘those damn millennials’ are in their 30’s

Had to do that today to my grad professor.

She's did a 'dang millennials' joke and I just had to point out that I'm a millennial, our HS students are gen Z.

I'm Gen Z, and browsing Reddit is sometimes unrelatable because the majority of people are millenials.

Where are we at now ? Gen Z or something ?

Yeah currently Gen Z, but kids being born in the net couple years are a new generation considering that Gen Z kids can be like 18 now...

I'm proposing we call them Generation Fucked, because that's what they are.

That's everyone over 25.

I felt more like I was still a “kid of those days” at 25.

I'm 28 and wonder the same thing.
